For Greener Grass

Written By PK Kalentzis

  • Using weather-based irrigation scheduling on a moderate-sized yard can save up to 20% of water per day.

  • The best time to water your yard is predawn, when winds are calm and temperatures are cool.

  • Grass doesn’t need to be watered every day; make sure your lawn really needs it before irrigating. If you can stick a screw driver into your lawn easily—don’t water!

  • Converting to a water-efficient landscape through proper choice of plants and careful design can reduce outdoor water use by 20 to 50 percent.
