Watering Instructions

Newly planted trees and shrubs require regular and consistent watering until root systems establish.

• First week: Water daily
• Second and third week: water every 2-3 days
• Fourth to eighth week: water every 4-5 days
• Continue to water weekly, or more frequently depending on drought conditions

Trees should get 4-5 gallons of water per watering, apply water directly over the root ball.

Shrubs should get 2-4 gallons per watering

Perennials should be kept moist for 2 weeks

Remember, mulch maximizes water uptake as it decreases water evaporation and insulates soil.

Lawns should be watered/irrigated daily. For best results use a sprinkler and adjust every 15 minutes to reach all areas.

Morning is the best time for watering!
