When to water:

The best time to water is in the early morning. The second best time is in late afternoon or early evening.

To cut down on watering needs, mulch all flower beds and around trees and shrubs.

More plants die from over watering than under watering. Plants can adapt to drought by sending their roots deeper into the soil.

Water evergreens deeply if spring showers are slow to come.

When watering your lawn, be careful not to over or under water. One inch ( 2-3 cms ) of water per week is the ideal amount for most soils.
