Landscape watering

Landscape watering

Wipe the sweat off your brow and plan to be into the 100-somethings for the
next 3-4 months. Though average temperatures are slightly lower in June
than July, water demand by plants can be at its highest this month due to
the low humidity levels, which will increase when the monsoons arrive.
These recommendations are for plants that are established in the landscape
(in the ground about 2 years).

Lawn watering:
Summer grass (Bermuda) - once every 3 days
Overseeded cool season grass (rye) – grass dies out
If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:
Desert Adapted - once every 14 days
High Water Use - once every 7 days
Tree watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 16 days
High Water Use - once every 8 days
Shrub watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 12 days
High Water Use - once every 5 days
Groundcover and vine watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 12 days
High Water Use - once every 4 days
Cacti and succulent watering - once every 21 days
Annuals watering - once every 2-3 days
