Summer Watering

TREES

 Deep root watering will give young and mature trees a healthier and stronger root system.

A hose end root feeder delivers water and

nutrients to the feeder roots. When watering the top soil there is moisture loss from evaporation.

 Early morning watering will give the best results for plants that will endure the hot summer heat during the day. If you have to water in the evening, avoid getting the foliage wet. Plants could develop diseases.

Flowers

 For the hot summer months, its recommended that a lawn should receive one inch of water per week, this will also depend on the soil conditions and the amount of sun light. Proper lawn fertilizing will continue to give you a strong healthy lawn, and keep weeds to a minimum.  Morning watering can prevent any lawn diseases. Lawns that receive little or no water during dry times may cause  injury to the root system.
