Anyone who owns or manages the outdoor portion of a property in San Diego understands that about half of the year is spent supplying water to yards and plants by way of sprinklers because Mother Nature is not providing any of it for us. However, when winter arrives there are times when rain seems to be present regularly, and rain water can provide several benefits to homeowners aside from the fact that people get to turn off those expensive sprinkler systems and have their yards and plants watered for free.
However, there are strategies that can be employed that will help you to maximize the potential benefits that the winter rains of San Diego can provide for any homeowner. You will also find examples of ideas that could provide a substantial return on investment. Anyone who wants to work with the climate that exists here should obtain the help of experienced San Diego landscaping professionals as soon as possible.
Managing the Lawn in the Rainy Season
There are certain strategies that tend to work well for people who want to make sure that their lawn continues to survive and prosper during the rainy winter season. For instance, it’s beneficial to mow the lawn when the conditions are relatively dry and before a rain so that the rain water penetrates more deeply into the roots of the grass. However, the lawn should be left a bit longer than usual so that the roots are not washed out.
Managing the Plants in the Rainy Season
Managing the plants in your yard during the rainy winter months requires a bit of ongoing analysis and observation. Plants should be checked regularly to see how well watered they are at any given time, as they should not be allowed to dry out completely only to have them deluged with rain water when a storm hits. In short, the water that your plants receive should be kept as regular in terms of amounts and intervals as possible. This may require a light watering of them from time to time.
Managing the Rain Water in Winter
There are also possibilities for people who want to maximize the usefulness of rain water. For instance, many communities in the county allow for the purchase of water storage tanks that can be used to save rain water throughout the rest of the year. There are different sizes for these units that come at different costs, but if it’s done right such an investment could preserve rain water and save money on utility bills throughout the dry summer months.
Overall, any plan for a yard with regards to the winter rains will depend on the specifics of that outdoor space. If you are ready to put Mother Nature to work for you, all you need to do to get started is to seek the help of San Diego landscaping professionals who have been working successfully with homeowners throughout the county for many years.
