Tips for going green.

Be Rain Smart.

Adjust your irrigation system as the seasons and weather change, or better yet, install a sensor that automatically detects rain or moisture. These devices are inexpensive and enable you to take advantage of the water without having to pay for it.

ET-Based Controllers. No, not that ET...

Adjust run times based on water loss from the soil, through evaporation, and water loss to the plant, through transpiration, ensuring that the right amount of water is applied without over watering or under watering. Automatic adjustment to the watering schedules, based on evapotranspiration (ET), can reduce water use by 20-40%.

Drip It.

Use drip irrigation to apply water slowly and directly to the roots of plants, using 30-50% less water than sprinkler irrigation, and eliminating overspray & runoff.

It's All in the Nozzle.

New high efficiency nozzles provide more uniform distribution of water, eliminate overspray, use less water and reduce run off.

Be Green & Bright with L.E.D.

Consider using the new L.E.D. landscape lighting technology for your new outdoor lighting system or upgrade your existing system. In addition to the superior clarity of L.E.D. lights, the reduction in energy consumption is significant and the life expectancy of L.E.D. lamps is 15 years or more!

Install a Photo-Cell.

Allow your lighting system to turn on at dusk all year round. This will prevent you from having to constantly change the timer to accommodate the changing of darkness and allowing more time on your part and less frustration.

Rain Gardens and Bioswales.

Capture that storm water that usually runs through your yard and into the overtaxed sewer system, and create a planting area of native vegetation, while doing your part to conserve water that is usually wasted.

Rain Barrels and Rainwater Harvesting Systems.

Another great idea! Capture that rainwater that falls on your roof, store it, and use it later to water your flowers and landscape.
