This is an archived article from the City of Mesa Water Conservation Department.  It was originally sent out in December, 2004. 

What a great way to start the New Year!  Most areas in the East Valley receive some rain this week. While this doesn’t mean our drought is over, it does mean you can use the ‘off’, ‘stop’, or ‘rain’ setting on your irrigation controller to stop the watering cycle.  This won’t disturb your existing programs. Then, just monitor your landscape in the coming weeks for dryness to determine when you need to turn the controller back on. Recommendations below are for plants that are established in the landscape (in the ground about 2 years).

Lawn watering:

      Summer grass (Bermuda) – once every 30 days

      Overseeded cool season grass (rye) – once every 14 days

 If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:

      Desert Adapted – once every 35 days

      High Water Use – once every 18 days

Tree watering:

      Desert Adapted – once every 45 days

      High Water Use – once every 21 days

Shrub watering:

      Desert Adapted – once every 30 days

      High Water Use – once every 14 days

Groundcover and vine watering:

      Desert Adapted – once every 28 days

      High Water Use – once every 14 days

Cacti and succulent watering – usually not necessary

Annuals watering – once every 10 days

Wildflower watering – once every 15 days

Bonus tip: If you need to clear out some of the weeds in your landscape, this is a great time to hand pull them. It’s a lot easier to get attached roots pulled out when the soil is moist. Keep in mind that weeds compete with landscape plants for water.

Note: These recommendations are a general guideline only and may need to be modified for your specific site conditions.  This watering schedule is provided courtesy of the City of Mesa.  To subscribe to the monthly watering tips visit http://ci.mesa.az.us/utilities/conservation/landscape-watering-reminder.asp
