The Texas heat is taking a toll on all us and especially our lawns this time of year. It is especially important to keep our lawns and other landscaping watered on a regular basis. Per the City of Plano's regulations we are currently allowed to water our lawns twice per week and use soaker hoses and hand watering as needed. Of course, healthy, watered lawns make our homes look so much better and protects our property value, but there are several other reasons that regular watering is necessary. Keeping your lawn watered protects your home's foundation. A cracked foundation due to dry ground shifting can be extremely costly. Keeping your lawn watered on a regular basis is also a common courtesy to your neighbors who are trying to keep their lawns watered and healthy as well. Finally, watering your lawn and landscaping on a regular basis and keeping your lawn alive and attractive is a requirement of your Fairfax Meadows Homeowner's Association Covenant's and By-Laws. Let's all do our best to keep things alive and well during these hot summer months! Happy Watering!
