What are the key components of proper water management?

Well-Managed Soil.
If you want to avoid wasting water, it’s imperative that you have well-developed soil to best get through times of drought. You want an expert in commercial lawn care to ensure that your soil contains a well-developed root system and that problems like compacted soil, thatch buildup, and imbalanced ph are treated promptly to ensure your lawn has easy access to the nutrients it needs even when water is scarce. That means you’ll need lawn care experts who have a good understanding of ideal soil composition. Your soil composition deeply impacts how well your grounds hold water and deliver nutrients. We can improve your soil’s composition through treatments like topdressings of organic compost and humus. Such attention to your soil will mean less water usage for you.

Effective Water Systems.
Most of us are familiar with traditional sprinklers and probably know that they aren’t very good. Traditional sprinklers, without proper management, are largely ineffective and huge water wasters. In contrast, an automatic irrigation system can be actually maximize water usage by only irrigating actual turf–so no more soaked pavement, sidewalks, or parking lots! The best irrigation system will adjust for your particular conditions, including the climate, plant types, and soil type.

Well-Chosen Grass.
Another smart way to use less water in your lawn care is to select grasses which are more drought resistant. Some of the most common drought resistant grasses include buffalo grass, hybridized fescue, and some varieties of perennial blue rye. Your commercial lawn specialists will know just which grasses to recommend for your property.
