Looking at a crispy brown lawn day after day is a downer. But before you run to the nursery for pallets of sod, consider this: a new lawn — whether it’s Bermuda, St. Augustine or Zoysia — takes an immense amount of water and care.
Couple that with once-a-week Stage 3 rules and you’ve got a no-win watering scenario.
That’s because no exceptions or variances are granted for watering newly replaced turf, whether due to drought, disease, winter freezes or any other reason. Plus, if your residential water use goes above 20,000 gallons per month, a hefty drought surcharge will appear on your next bill.
Here’s a better idea: Instead of replacing grass, why not turn those unsightly dirt patches into the drought-tolerant landscape of your dreams? We’ll even help you pay for it! Learn more at GardenStyleSA.com/coupons.
