Can your lawn survive on only two days plus a 25% water cut per day? 💧🚜
With municipal watering restrictions limiting most of the Denver Metro area to just two days per week—and requiring us to use 25% less water on those days—keeping your curb appeal intact takes a strategy.
Don't let the heat burn up your landscaping investment! Here are 3 quick pivots you can make this week:
1️⃣ Raise the Deck: Set your mower blade to 3.5 or 4 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, dropping ground temperatures and locking in precious moisture.
2️⃣ The "Cycle & Soak" Method: Clay soils can't handle 20 minutes of continuous water. Break your run times into two shorter cycles an hour apart to stop runoff.
3️⃣ Protect the Assets: Your grass can bounce back from dormancy, but stressed trees and shrubs can suffer permanent damage. Prioritize mulch and utilize hand-watering exemptions to protect mature trees.
