Did you know Weber Basin Water will come preform a water audit on your lawn for you? This is a great resource I have been meaning to do. Anyone else have weird patches of lawn that seem to die no matter what? 🙋🏼♀️. Here is a description of what they can offer. The website even shows you how to do your own audit as well as a number of other resources.
Thanks to everyone on South Weber who is working on conversing water! The code committee will be looking into allowing xeriscaping as an option very soon. Keep it up and stay cool peeps! I don’t ever remember a June so hot so soon before!
"The average homeowner in Utah applies almost double the amount of water onto their landscape than is necessary. Most of that is not an issue of belligerently wasting water, but simply a lack of knowing how much water our landscapes need to thrive, how efficient our sprinkler systems are, and how quickly they apply water on to the lawn. Water audits are designed to help homeowners learn these particulars so they can be as efficient as possible with landscape irrigation.
The audits consist of well-trained interns from Weber Basin coming to your home and doing a personal assessment on the property. They check the irrigation system and make suggestions if they see anything that could make it more efficient. A simple field soil test is performed to determine general soil type and texture. A catch-cup test is performed to see how quickly the sprinklers are applying water to the lawn and to determine how uniform the water is being applied. Studies show that applying half an inch of water is ideal to adequately water the soil for turf roots without too much water running off the surface of the soil or out of the root zone.”
