Protect the landscape within the rules

The goal is not to run every zone as long as possible. It is to reach roots while limiting evaporation, overspray and runoff.

Prioritize established trees and valuable shrubs with targeted drip or soaker-hose watering within the city’s limits.

Pause plans for new sod or planting until Celina changes stages or confirms that your project qualifies for a variance.

Inspect every irrigation zone for runoff, broken heads and overspray before using your weekly sprinkler day.

Cycle→Soak→Repeat

Break a long run into shorter cycles. Pause between cycles so clay soil can absorb water before it becomes runoff.
