From now through November, property managers should plan for one inch of water per week if rainfall is lacking. This simple step protects your investment in trees, shrubs, turf, and perennials. How to Water Correctly Frequency: Water once per week when no measurable rain falls. Amount: Apply one inch of water under the full branch spread of trees and shrubs. Measuring: Place a rain gauge or straight-sided can in the sprinkler zone and stop when one inch has collected. Rainfall Counts: Only count what actually falls on your site, not what a distant weather station reports. Soil Check: Skip watering if soil is already moist. Overwatering wastes resources and damages roots. Why It Matters for Properties Trees and Shrubs: Dry conditions stress woody plants, leaving them open to insects and disease. Timely watering now helps avoid costly decline later. Lawns: Cool-season grasses will stay green and resilient with weekly irrigation. Without it, drought damage leads to bare spots and expensive recovery. Perennials: Even hardy varieties need consistent moisture during dry spells to perform well through fall. The Bottom Line With dry weather hitting at the end of the growing season, consistent watering is the best way to protect curb appeal and long-term value. One inch per week keeps your landscapes healthy, tenants satisfied, and maintenance costs in check.
