Determine #1 Essential Landscape Water Needs

It’s indisputable that your lawn and garden needs landscape water to live, but how much is enough, and how much is too much? Too little water will stunt or even kill your lawn, garden and container plants, but too much can be just as bad — and cost you money. At a time when we’re all encouraged to conserve water, it’s good to know how much water to give to your yard.

When There’s Too Much Landscape Water

It’s sometimes hard to tell when your garden or lawn is getting too much water. Some of the symptoms of overwatering are the same as under-watering. Signs of overwatering include:

A good test

Push your finger into the soil, or dig a small hole two to four inches deep. If it’s still moist that deep, you have enough landscape water for your plants. If you find it’s moist, and your plants show any of the signs listed above, then reduce your landscape watering.

Here’s another approach: consider Smart Rain’s smart watering systems. Our systems notify property owners of important irrigation management details like water flow, moisture levels, and more, all through advanced sensors and innovative technologies. Coupled with the Smart Rain app, you can control your sprinklers, view rainfall levels and get detailed reports all from the convenience of your smartphone.
