Water Restrictions Looming
We anticipate SAWS declaring Stage 1 drought restrictions within the week.
With the La Nina event continuing, drier than normal conditions are likely to continue. The long range outlooks are continuing to call for greater chances for below normal rainfall and this will lead to drought conditions getting worse during the next several months.
Drip Irrigation is not restricted by drought restrictions! Now is the time to have drip irrigation added to your system - call us at 210-657-7737. |

Customer Spotlight
Ricos is a family owned and operated global company that has been  headquartered in San Antonio for over 30 years. They recently build a new HQ and we were honored to be part of the project from start to finish. They requested a design that incorporated only native plants and that would be very water conscious. Their landscape design went beyond the city's tree ordinance requirements and also qualified them for several rebates from both CPS and SAWS.

You can't control the weather but you can help your landscape survive a drought with these easy steps:
1. Mulch is an essential part of gardening in South Texas. It helps save the water by insulating the soil and keeping it cool. The summer sun beating down on bare soil heats it to  temperatures so high that root growth does not exist in the upper two inches of the soil. When we only have 4 to 6 inches of soil, we cannot afford to lose the top two inches. 2. Have your irrigation system checked to confirm it is working correctly and efficiently. 3. Don't overfertilize your plants this spring 4. Drip irragation is an excellent way to water your plants as  efficiently as possible. It can be installed in landscape beds, pots, etc
5. Assess your landscape - do you
have native plants that can survive a drought?
