Schedule: Twice-weekly in summer, weekly in shoulder seasons.
Emitters: 1–2 emitters per plant, monitored during heat waves.
Flowering perennials, citrus, and lush accents need more attention than true desert plants.
Arizona yards have very different microclimates. West-facing walls, glass, artificial turf, pavers, travertine, porcelain, and pool decking all increase reflected heat. AE considers these before confirming placement.
- Verify attachment surface
AE verifies pool deck, paver, foundation, wall, and utility clearances before final planting.
