Different areas of your yard are exposed to varying levels of sun, shade and wind. Shaded and sheltered areas are likely to require less water than open areas in full sun.
For best results, take time to walk around your yard and make a water use inventory. Look for tell-tale signs of over watering such as puddles, mud or the growth of moss or fungus. Also note areas that are dry. During your monthly inspections,look to see how water is being used on sloped or graded areas.
Water requires more time to soak in on a slope, so plan for more frequent and shorter watering intervals.
For example, if you water a flat area twice a week for 15 minutes, a slope with similar sun exposure may require three times a week for 10 minutes. Make notes if you think adjustments should be made.
