New plants, trees, lawn sod and grass are allowed all the water they need for 60 days following installation. You can get the latest information on water restrictions for southwest Florida by visiting www.sfwmd.com. You may also try to use drought tolerant plants and trees (natives). Lastly you may want to consult your landscaper about low volume irrigation which can be used “as needed” (year round) for all landscape plants. Take the time to educate yourself on the requirements of the plants you are interested in to make sure they will be able to receive the proper water, sunlight, space etc.
