MONTHLY WATER SCHEDULE

The Monthly Water Management Schedule is calculated by historical weather averages. It is intended for mature turf-grass landscapes. New landscapes of less than one year old will need more frequent watering. Drip irrigation may use a separate water program. Besides having a stronger healthy landscape you will save water on average by 20% - 40% over more frequent watering. The best time of year to implement this schedule is between Fall / early Spring.

Caution: Do not implement during the hot season. December and January little to no water at all required.


Month Duration & Frequency Time of Day
January: Minimum water once every 30 days daytime
February: Minimum water every 20 days daytime
March: Maximum water every 10-7 days nighttime

There are three important factors that can influence the schedule.

  • Weather Conditions: (wind, rain, hotter or cooler than normal).
  • Landscape: (soil make-up, root depth, tree shrub type and placement, including slopes and the different sunlight exposures around your yard.)
  • Sprinkler System: (sprinkler head condition, nozzle size, spacing, zone layout, water pressure, valve operation, control timer capability).
