San Diego Watering Information
What Time of Day Should I Water?
In the San Diego region, we recommend watering between 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. Watering within this window of time takes advantage of relatively low winds and less loss of water to evaporation.
How Long Should I Water?
Precise watering times vary depending on the type of watering device, soil, slope and plants. Keep in mind with clay soils, running an irrigation system on a lawn for more than five minutes will generally result in runoff.
