Water Smart

Fort Worth cares about its water. Check out these upcoming water saving gardening seminars to be a better steward.

Additionally, here are a few smart practices for the yard.

• Water deeply and infrequently, one inch every 5-7days.  This stimulates root growth, resulting in a healthy, drought tolerant root system. 
• Fertilize and  aerate (loosen) your soil. This will maximize root depth and turf vitality; stimulating your lawn with less water.
• Use native or adaptive plants to beautify and add color with less water demand.
