NEW LANDSCAPE WATERING

• LAWNS - New Lawns, whether seeded or sodded should be watered one half inch per

                  day. The seeds or sod roots should not dry out.

• TREES - Balled trees need less water than shrubs because they are buried deep in the

                 ground. A deep soaking once every 6 days is adequate. This means

                 15 minutes per tree.

• SHRUBS - A deep soaking every 3 days is adequate. This means about 5 minutes

                    per shrub.

• ANNUALS - For the first 2 weeks water throughly. Soil should be allowed to dry

                      out between waterings.

PERENNIALS - Because they have a shallow root structure, they should be

                        watered every 2-3 days.
