How Much Water You Need To Use To Properly Water Your Trees, Plants, and Shrubs
Have you ever really thought about how much your yard's trees, shrubs, and plants require? If not, you aren't alone! Studying the water needs of the landscape plants on your property is not on most people's to-do lists. While you want our yard to look good, we know you don't want to spend copious amounts of time caring for your outdoor spaces; you want to spend your time enjoying it.
The first thing to understand about watering is that most people tend to overestimate how much water is necessary to maintain a healthy landscape. Overwatering can cause many problems, including plant death, driving up your water bill, and wasting water. Other negative consequences that overwatering can cause are puddling, washing away topsoil, and removing necessary nutrients from the soil that plants need to grow and be healthy.
Partnering with a professional to care for your lawn and landscape will ensure that you are properly watering your property's landscape. Healthy plants can withstand disease, damage, and extremes in weather conditions.
Aerations Plus is dedicated to helping homeowners care for their landscaping, saving you time and money and aiding in water conservation. Our experts will also help you determine the efficiency of your current irrigation system, identify leaks, and, if necessary, install a new irrigation system.
Water Requirements For Trees, Plants, And Shrubs
Trees
Did you know that how much water a tree needs varies throughout its life? You may think younger trees need more water to grow, but the opposite is true. Older trees require more water than younger trees. In general, the larger the tree's canopy diameter is, the more water it requires. To see if trees on your property need watering, check their leaves in the evening; if you notice wilted leaves, the tree needs water.
Plants
Plants that are part of your yard's landscape require much less water than trees and shrubs. Because they don't require a lot of water to thrive, it makes it easy to keep them healthy in regions like Los Angeles without much rainfall. However, their low water requirements make it likely for homeowners to overwater. Remember, too much water can be as harmful as too little water!
Shrubs
Shrubs and bushes are popular for homeowners to plant in their yards. They offer many benefits, including offering some shade, soil stability, and providing habitats for wildlife. Shrubs and bushes also add beauty to our landscape and, as a bonus, require less water than trees. Their smaller trunk and canopy mean they will stay healthy without using large amounts of water.
