Saving water using an automatic irrigation system is not a guaranteed fact - that is unless you do a little homework to make sure all is functioning properly. Following are a few tips to keep your watering needs to a minimum while maximizing your landscape’s beauty:

• Avoid over-watering lawns and gardens. Surface runoff and water that is applied to areas that have no roots or grass are completely wasted.
• Watering early in the morning minimizes fungal diseases on the leaves of plants, and minimizes evaporation.

• Separating shrub garden, annual garden, grass, and hanging baskets/pots into separate zones can allow more specific watering schedules tailored to each specific area, minimizing over and under watering.

• Trim grass at a higher mower setting to shade roots from sunlight and encourage deeper roots.
