FALL IS HERE. COOLER WEATHER MEANS IT’S TIME TO REDUCE OUTDOOR WATERING.

With shorter days and cooler nights, outdoor plants require less water in the fall than they do in the summer. This seasonal change means less water is lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration (ET), making outdoor water budgets smaller.

Here are simple ways to help you meet outdoor
watering needs — and save yourself money!

One of the most effective ways to save water is to irrigate efficiently. Refer to our Irrigation Schedule Guide to help you use the right amount of water specifically for your landscape.
