Water Your Plants Strategically Your landscaping needs water too, but not as much as your lawn. Learn how to water based on your plants' needs and soil type.

1: Water plants on days you don't water your lawn (if needed). Use your finger to check soil moisture. 2: Choose native plants that are adapted to your climate's water conditions. 3: Sandy soil drains quickly and needs frequent watering, while clay soil retains moisture and needs less frequent watering.
