same day. If you do water on the same day, please have your
sprinklers done with the final zone for water prior to 6am. Thank

Updated October 9th
THIS IS THE FINAL UPDATE FOR THE SEASON… and we
continue to sound like a broken record by saying…broken records! Yes,
the wettest summer ever in our 100+ years of keeping track, that means
things are plenty wet, and you really do not need water UNLESS: New
plantings, new sod, new seed. In these cases, try to use a hose and keep
the sprinkler system off for the rest of the season, or until you do
have your sprinkler system winterized. We will continue to advertise
below to have zones OFF if you still have your sprinkler system with
water in it…let mother nature continue to water, and hopefully we do dry
out here for the second half of fall. It will allow root structures then
to go deeper to find water which will be a good thing for next season.

NEW SEED WATERING INSTRUCTIONS?
We suggest that you water 2-3x per day for short periods of
time. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes max. You do not want to water enough
where the seed can move from running water. Seed needs to sit in
place in a moist area to germinate.
NEW SOD WATERING INSTRUCTIONS?
We suggest you water one-time per day. If it is a shady area, then
you should NOT have sodded that area as shade seed is the
appropriate choice (there is no such thing as shade sod). If it is
an area that is sun and shade, depending on the current weather
conditions of course - watering the sod for about 25-35 minutes per
day should be sufficient. If it is a very sunny area, then we
suggest about 35-45 minutes per day. These suggested watering times
should be used only until new sod has “taken” (or rooted).
