The
Woodlands Great Lawns
 Lush
green lawns, extraordinary landscaping, colorful
displays of native plants...Whether you are a new
Woodlands resident or you've been here a long time, it
is likely that the appearance of your property is
important to you. That's a good thing because we all
take pride in living in such a lovely environment.
Unfortunately, we've gotten in the habit of watering our
lawns and gardens a lot more than they need to be.
During the spring and summer months,
approximately 80 percent of the water we use is for
irrigation...and about 50 percent of this water is
wasted! The days of cheap and plentiful water supplies
are behind us...and it is time that we all learn to use
this precious natural resource more efficiently. Here
are some good resources to help you maximize your "Great
Lawn" while keeping the demand for water in check...
Remember - Native plants and grasses
need no irrigation water beginning November 1st until
late Spring 2008, so please adjust your sprinkler
systems accordingly.
