Want Green Grass this Summer?
Sounds impossible given many in our area are already in stage 3 or 4 water restrictions. However, there is an amazing new technology that
will allow you to have green grass during the drought and will save you money on your water bills. It is a new underground drip irrigation system for your lawns. This is easiest done when you are installing a new lawn but it can be done on an existing lawn.
Here is how it works - Tubing is trenched about 3"-4" below the grass surface and covered over with sod. When the system comes on, the grass roots are watered -which is the only part of the grass that needs the water. Drip irrigation is the world's most efficient type of irrigation and subsurface drip is especially so because it is unaffected by wind and evaporation resulting in 70% less water use than conventional overhead sprinklers.
Pretty Amazing - Save Water and Money and have green grass all year long!

Stage 3 Drought Restrictions are Looming for San Antonio
While San Antonio is currently under stage 2 drought restrictions, it is very likely we will get to stage 3 soon.
In stage 3, watering is limited to one day every other week for all irrigation systems, sprinklers and soaker hoses. This will have a significant negative impact on your landscaping if you currently rely on a traditional irrigation system.
However drip irrigation will be allowed Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays during the restricted week as well as hand watering will be allowed every day.
Preferred Landscape and Lighting is one of the leading irrigation professionals who has been recommending and installing drip irrigation for years. We recommend all new landscape beds be equipped with drip irrigation because it is better for the health of the plants and saves a significant amount of water.
