IRRIGATE EFFICIENTLY!

Properly designed, installed and maintained irrigation systems are a highly effective means of sustaining landscapes and lawns.

• Apply water at dawn or dusk to minimize evaporation.

• Install rain sensors on automatic irrigation systems.

• Have an irrigation professional audit your system for irregular distribution, leaks, and overspray onto paved areas.

• Ask about “smart” controllers that apply water based on plant requirements
and local weather.
