A-Affordable Lawn & Tree Co. Advises on Summer Water Restrictions
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Summer is in full swing, and Texas is experiencing below normal precipitation. Temperatures are also steady in the mid to upper 90s. A-Affordable Lawn & Tree Co. wants to advise residents on summer water restrictions. According to a July 27 article in San Antonio Express-News, the Edwards Aquifer has experienced a significant drop in water level, so much that the New Braunfels Mayor has declared Stage 3 watering restrictions.
While San Antonio itself remains in Stage 2 water restrictions, which means watering can occur from 7-11 a.m. and 7-11 p.m., Stage 3 reduces watering down to once every other week and this stage will be in effect for New Braunfels July 29.
When watering is permitted, A-Affordable Lawn & Tree Co. advises residents to water lawns early in the morning. This method reduces evaporation and lawns will soak up more water. For those with sprinklers, making sure the sprinkler sprays parallel to the ground instead of up in the air will also reduce evaporation.
Different grasses have different tolerances for drought and water requirements. Bermudagrass, for example, has a very low water requirement and is ranked as excellent in drought resistance. Zoysiagrass is another lawn with low water requirements and good resistance to drought. These two grasses are common to the San Antonio area and are good choices for those wanting to maintain the traditional lawn.
A-Affordable Lawn & Tree Co. can help customers decide which grasses are best for their landscape and advise on the best methods for irrigation. Call them today for information on their lawn maintenance and landscape design services, (210) 263-3954.
