  Watering Instructions
   
(The primary reasons for failure of landscape material are 
overwatering or not watering to the depth of the root ball)
   
1. Select a Watering Method that is Best for You
Oscillating sprinkler
Leave the sprinkler on for 2.5 to 4 hours depending on spray pattern and size of root ball per section. Make sure to overlap each section.
 
Impact Sprinkler
90 degree angle with short spray pattern, water for 1 to 2 hours. 
180 degree angle water for 2-3 hours.
 
Hose Trickle
Place the end of your garden hose on top of the root ball and allow water to trickle at a moderate rate for 30 minutes to an hour per plant depending on the size of the root ball.
 
Soaker Hose
Make sure water hits each root ball. Also, make sure the holes are not clogged. Let this run for 3 to 4 hours. 
 
Watering Can or Bucket
It may take 5 to 8 pails to fully water each plant to the depth of the rootball. Poor slowly and make an earth saucer around the base of the plant to catch the water.
   
  2. Watering Times 
(Times will vary depending upon: outside temperature, sun or shade, soil types, size of root ball, rainfall and a plants moisture requirements)
