When to water

• Water your lawn only when it needs it. Footprints will stay in the lawn, leaf blades will fold in half, and the lawn will take on a blue-green hue.
• Water your landscape plants only when they need it. Some plants are prone to wilting when they need water.
• Use a rain gauge to see how much water your plants get naturally.
• Grouping plants with similar water needs will make it easier to give your plants the correct amount of water.
• Water less in cooler months when turfgrass grass is dormant.
• Water in the early morning to prevent water from sitting on the foliage overnight.
• Follow all local watering restrictions as to when you can water.
• Turfgrass and landscape plants are irrigated only as needed according to UF/IFAS recommendations and in compliance with any existing watering restrictions
