Our long-awaited cooler weather has finally arrived, to the relief of people and plants.  This is a perfect time to do a little tuning up in our landscapes and a little adjusting to drip and sprinkler system schedules. 

In addition, here is a simple seasonal watering schedule for established plants (in the ground at least 2 years).

Lawn watering:
      Summer grass (Bermuda) - once every 6 days
      Overseeded cool season grass (rye) - 4x per day for
             7-10 days to germinate, then once every 3 days

If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:
      Desert Adapted - once every 21 days
      High Water Use - once every 10 days

Tree watering:
      Desert Adapted - once every 24 days
      High Water Use - once every 12 days

Shrub watering:
      Desert Adapted - once every 18 days
      High Water Use - once every 9 days

Groundcover and vine watering:
      Desert Adapted - once every 18 days
      High Water Use - once every 8 days

Cacti and succulent watering - once every 28 days

Annuals watering - once every 4-5 days

Wildflower watering - once every 1-2 days to germinate,
      then once every 3-5 days

The attached article will give you simple tips to keep landscapes looking their best while at the same time conserving a little water.

Fall Landscape Preparation

This is an archive article from the Town of Gilbert, originally sent in September, 2004.

As many of you know, the Town of Gilbert is under a Stage I Water Alert.  The predictions are for our 9 year drought to continue and possibly worsen.  We hope these predictions are wrong but we must be prepared for the future which could include the declaration of Stage 2 or Stage 3 drought status.  Fines for water wasting may be issued in Stage 2; overseeding is prohibited and fines imposed in Stage 3.  The message is clear: we all must make water conservation a part of our lifestyle now and in the future.

Enclosed is information on overseeding turf areas and the benefits of skipping this procedure.  While Bermuda typically goes dormant in the cold months, it is possible to extend the length of its growing season and lush green appearance well into winter.  The University of Arizona turf specialists recommend multiple applications of iron (2-4 oz of actual iron per 1000 square feet).  Apply the first application about October 1, the next 10 days later and follow up again after another 10 days.  Do not apply nitrogen fertilizers.  Remember that even dormant Bermuda needs ½ inch of water per month during the winter.
