APPENDIX A - GUIDELINES FOR WATERING
WARRANTY
When deciding how much to water a garden or lawn, there are several factors to be considered:
• Soil type – clay, sand, silt, or a mixture of them
• Slope of the ground – does the water run off
• Type of grass or plants – the water needs of plants vary greatly
• Exposure to sun and shade – how much sun and at what time of day
• The rate at which water is applied – determined by the water pressure and the type of
watering nozzle used
• Time of day that watering takes place – the best time to water is one to two hours before sunrise
It is therefore difficult to devise the perfect watering schedule and some trial and error will be required
before you settle on the best schedule.
Here are some general watering hints to help you get started:
• Water early in the morning, one to two hours before sunrise, when the water pressure is highest and
evaporation is lowest and the water can soak into the plant root zone. Watering during generally mid-
day or in the evening may cause plant damage.
• Newly planted lawns, until established, should be watered frequently for short durations to keep the
soil and plants moist at all times
• Reduce watering duration and water more frequently if water run off is occurring.
• Water an established landscape enough to saturate the soil without causing runoff.
• When starting a new watering program, gradually decrease watering over a period of time until you
begin to notice signs of plant stress caused by lack of water, then increase watering a little to regain
plant health and vitality. This method enables a healthy landscape to be maintained using the least
amount of water.
