New Turfgrass:

A 30-day establishment period is allowed for new and replacement turf (sod, plugs, seed, etc.).

• On days 1–15, the new or replacement turf may be watered any day of the week.
• On days 16–30, the turf may only be watered approximately every other day. Even-numbered addresses may only water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Odd-numbered addresses may only water on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
• All watering must be accomplished before 8 a.m., or after 6 p.m.

New Plants and Landscaping:

New plants (other than lawns) have a 60-day establishment period:

• On days 1–30, new plants may be watered any day of the week.
• During days 31–60, new plants may be watered approximately every other day. Even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Odd-numbered addresses may water on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
• All watering must be accomplished before 8 a.m., or after 6 p.m.

Sprinkler System Or Hand Water?:

• New plant material must cover at least 50% of an irrigation zone in order to water with an in-ground sprinkler system during the initial establishment period. If not, the new plant material must be hand watered.
• Only those zones containing 50% new plant material may be watered, not the entire yard.
