Hillside Landscaping - Properly Watering Hillside And Sloped Landscapes
Sloped and hillside lawns and landscapes tend to develop dry
dead spots during the hot part of the season. This is primarily
due to water run off before it has a chance to saturate into the
soil. Deep saturation is a key to a healthy lawns and plants.
Deep watering helps establish deeper roots that can handle
Summer heat stress.
Water that runs off or just barely breaks the surface, obviously
does the lawn or landscape very little good. So how do you give
landscaping and lawn on a slope better saturation?
Split your water cycle duration into two or three short cycles.
If your water cycle is 30 minutes, you might split the cycle
into three 10 minute cycles. So on watering days, you'll run the
system for the specified amount of time, let it soak for a few
hours, then repeat this for the number of times needed.
To determine the exact amount of time needed, turn on the lawn
sprinkler and watch for how long it takes for runoff to begin.
This is the maximum of how long
each cycle should be.
Don't just split your cycles into different days. You need deep
saturation for healthier plants. Plants and lawns like
infrequent deep waterings much more than frequent shallow
waterings.
Landscaping and specimen plants on a hillside will also benefit
from better saturation. Plants should be planted in larger holes
filled with good soil that absorbs water easily. Also, dams and
water wells should be built on the downhill side of the plant.
This will help give the water time to soak straight down to the
root zone before it runs off.
