Summer is quickly coming to an end and the season will soon be changing.  This means that in Las Vegas the SNWA water restrictions require 3 days a week watering (in each prospective group).  Remember that in September we still cannot water between the hours of 11am and 7pm.  Successful watering is based on many factors but a few that we can control are as follow:

1) Aerate twice a year to break up compacted soil.  This will allow for air, water and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil and will promote deeper roots. (Deep roots=Less water)

2) Fertilize regularly.  Turf and plants need different applications but the key to a good fertilization program is consistency. (Healthy Plant=Less water)

3) DO NOT OVER WATER!!!  It is far worse to over water a plant than it is to under  water  a plant.  Once a plants roots have rotted there is no reversing the process.  Monitor your yard as often as possible to know and understand how much is enough water for your plants, trees and turf. 

Following these tips will help anyone with promoting a healthy, green and thriving yard.
