How Often Should I Water My Trees & Shrubs?

It's important to know the best way to care for your new trees and shrubbery once you have them installed on your property. When there's no rain, you should water them about twice per week and make sure to direct the water towards the root ball of the trees and shrubs where the live roots are situated. Once they're established in your lawn, you should only need to worry about watering them once per week when it doesn't rain. You can also ask about having a moisture meter/tensiometer installed to help you keep a closer eye on their water needs.
