Water Smart, Not Hard | Denver News

When the rain’s gone dry on the Front Range, smart watering saves your yard—and your wallet. Forget sprinklers running every few days—deep, infrequent soaks are the real trick. Aim for an inch of water per session, letting soil dry out between. Check your sprinklers’ output, fix leaks, and water only when plants show signs of thirst—like wilting leaves or footprints that stick. Mulch thickly (4 inches) to lock in moisture, zone your system by plant type, and swap out thirsty plants for drought-tolerant ones. Your yard can still thrive without the guesswork.
