Watering Your New Landscape

All plants need water to support their growth. If they do not have enough water, growth stops as they try to conserve resources. If dry conditions persist, this will lead to injury or death. Plants also need oxygen for cellular respiration. When the soil remains soaking wet, this prevents oxygen from reaching the roots and causes plants to die. Our goal is to never allow plants to become completely dry while also avoiding constantly wet conditions.

The watering needs of each plant can vary based on the species, size, growing practices, soil type, temperature, sun exposure and a myriad of other changing conditions. Because of this, it’s impossible to provide an exact schedule of how much or how often you’ll need to water.
