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

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.
