Autumn is officially upon us - Days are getting cooler and shorter, and we've been seeing some wonderful rain. 🍂🌦️

All of which means: it's time to turn off your irrigation! 💧

Even on days when the sun is out, your landscape will retain enough moisture to sustain it, without the need for irrigation. So, go ahead and shut your system off for the season... and don't forget to schedule your sprinkler blow out. 😉

Happy Fall Y'all! 🧹😎🍂 Friendly reminder for when you're cleaning hard outdoor surfaces like sidewalks and driveways - please grab a broom as your tool of choice!

Using a broom rather than spraying down surfaces conserves water for where it's needed most. Collect your sweepings with a dust pan, and help keep our storm drains clear, too!
