Cooler weather is in the forecast at last! The growing season for summer grass (and its watering season) is ending. While dormant, turf will only need watering once per month over the winter months; this can help prevent winter weeds which are now sprouting in earnest. Continue to hand water as needed to establish new trees and other plantings and remember the 3-2-1 rule to avoid over-watering any new plants.
