Introduction

There’s no doubt about it: water is essential for life. And when it comes to watering your lawn and garden, you want to give them the best possible care. But sometimes, we don’t realize how much water we’re using—and wasting—on our plants. If you’re interested in saving money and conserving resources while keeping your plants healthy, then read on. These are our 5 tips for saving water in your landscape:

Group plants with similar water needs together.

Group plants with similar water needs together.

You want to be sure that your plants are getting the right amount of water, so it’s important to group them together in your garden. You’ll be able to see what is getting too much or too little and adjust accordingly. If you have a large yard, you could use a hose (or sprinkler) system to make sure all your plants get enough water at the same time. This can help save money because it eliminates the need for frequent trips outside!

Irrigate only when needed.

The first thing to remember is that you should never water your lawn when it’s hot, windy and sunny. In other words, avoid watering your lawn on a hot summer day in July when the temperature is 100 degrees with strong winds coming out of the west. This will waste water and money. The same holds true for watering at night: it wastes both because evaporation causes the loss of 60% of applied water at night compared to 40% during daylight hours.

In general, avoid watering your lawn when temperatures are over 70 degrees since this will encourage root rot (the most common cause of death for turfgrass). Turfgrasses need less frequent watering when they are dormant in winter months (October 1st through March 31st) but may need more frequent irrigation if temperatures drop below freezing during that same period as turfgrasses take longer to recover from injury caused by low temperatures than if they were only subjected to extended periods without rain or irrigation.

Water efficiently.

• Water efficiently.
• Watering in the morning or evening can help prevent evaporation.
• Watering in the evening can help prevent disease in plants.
• Watering in the morning can help prevent plant stress.

Install a weather-based irrigation controller like the Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller to adjust watering schedules based on local weather conditions and seasonality.

When it comes to saving water, many people forget about their sprinklers. The Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller is a great way to reduce the amount of time your sprinklers run by adjusting the watering schedules based on local weather conditions and seasonality. The device works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control it from anywhere using an app on your smartphone or tablet. Plus, installation is easy—the whole thing should take less than 30 minutes (and requires no wires).

The Rachio controller uses advanced technology that allows it to make adjustments based on local weather conditions like temperature and humidity levels throughout the day. This saves both water and money because it doesn’t waste resources watering when they’re not necessary or miss out on opportunities when they are needed most

Mow correctly.

Mowing correctly is an important part of the process. You should mow your lawn when it is dry, at the highest setting and with a sharp blade. If you have an uneven lawn, you can use a push reel mower or hire out to get it done professionally. You also need to make sure that you are mowing at the right height; this depends on whether you want to keep your grass short or grow it longer. For instance, if you want a nice lawn that would be good for children to play on then go for about 3 inches in length; however if you want something more formal then choose somewhere between 4-6 inches in length which looks great when cut into shapes such as circles or rectangles (with electric).

Many people think that cutting their lawns too close will help them save water but this isn’t true! It actually makes things worse because now there’s no air circulating around roots so they don’t get enough oxygen so they end up growing slower than they normally would if left alone until spring comes around again when temperatures rise again and everything wakes up once more like magic! This means less stress put onto plants which helps prevent disease outbreaks between seasons too; remember: plants need time off from being worked hard all year long too 🙂
