☀️ The heat isn't just hard on you—it's hard on your plants, too!

With temperatures soaring and little rainfall in many areas, even established trees and shrubs can become drought stressed. While mature landscape plants are more resilient than newly planted ones, they still benefit from supplemental watering during extended dry periods.

💧 Water trees and shrubs deeply about once a week when rainfall is lacking. A slow, deep soaking encourages roots to grow deeper into the soil, making plants more resilient to drought than frequent, shallow watering.

🚿 Don't rely on your sprinkler system to do the job. Most lawn irrigation systems don't provide enough water to adequately soak a tree or shrub's root zone. They can also keep leaves and needles wet, creating conditions that favor certain plant diseases. Instead, water at the base of the plant using a soaker hose, drip irrigation, or a slow-running garden hose.

Keep an eye out for signs of drought stress, such as wilting, leaf scorch, premature leaf drop, or thinning canopies. Providing water before severe stress develops can help plants stay healthier and reduce their susceptibility to insects and diseases.

🌳 A deep drink now can help your landscape weather the heat!

💦Best Practices for Watering Bermuda 💧
🌱Target Volume:
Apply about 1 inch of total water per week, split into 2 to 3 deep watering sessions.
🌱Optimal Timing: Water between 4:00 AM and 9:00 AM so moisture sinks in before the sun causes rapid evaporation.
🌱Soil Adjustment: Clay soils need longer, less frequent cycles (e.g., 45 minutes) to absorb water, while sandy soils need shorter, more frequent runs.
