Inspect and evaluate your sprinkler system annually
Research a local certified landscape irrigation auditor (CLIA) contractor to help you professionally review your system
Review your water bill
Invest and use the best sprinkler products
Understand that the best time to water is in the morning; the sun is low and temperatures are cool
Know and obey your local watering ordinances
Never water in the rain
Reduce your watering time; be sensitive to seasons and weather trends
Water your lawn in shorter segments to reduce run-offs and lack of absorption
Adjust your watering times for sunny and shady portions of your lawn
Do not over-water; water only when your plants need the moisture
Avoid misting to minimize water waste due to wind deviation
Be aware that low volume “drip” sprinkling is best
Do not water non-growing areas if you have them
Apply water directly to roots of trees and plants
Establish lawn zones by plant types
Water your property evenly
Keep water spray paths clear of growing plants or other obstacles
Choose the best plants appropriate to your local landscape
Be cognizant that mulch provides more than just appearance; it is good for drainage, improves soil nutrients and plant root development
These tips may seem like a lot to remember but, they are reasonable and common sense if you think about it. A lush lawn and a healthy garden takes effort and “love.” Aeon Matrix understands the time commitment to manage your efforts.
