Reminder from the city of Mesa:
Summer monsoons and lightning mean power outages. Make sure you’ve replaced the battery in your irrigation timer within the past year (if it has that option). Battery backup will maintain your programs during an outage.
Rain amounts vary greatly across the Valley, so if you are not sure how much fell in your yard, visit www.rainlog.org to see what your neighborhood weather watchers recorded.
These recommendations are for plants that are established in the landscape (in the ground about 2 years).
Lawn watering:
Summer grass (Bermuda) - once every 3-4 days
Overseeded cool season grass (rye) - grass dies out
If trees and shrubs are on the same valve:
Desert Adapted - once every 15 days
High Water Use - once every 8 days
Tree watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 17 days
High Water Use - once every 9 days
Shrub watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 13 days
High Water Use - once every 6 days
Groundcover and vine watering:
Desert Adapted - once every 12 days
High Water Use - once every 5 days
Cacti and succulent watering - once every 22 days
Annual & vegetable watering - once every 2-3 days
Note: These recommendations are a general guideline only and may need to be modified for your specific site conditions.
