Include drip irrigation in gardens, planters and beds. Drip irrigation can

In hot weather keep grass taller. This will lessen the soil’s exposure to the
sun and allow the soil to hold on to moisture for a longer period of time.

sidewalks and buildings.
Use mulch or bark in beds and planters to reduce sun exposure and water
loss through evaporation. This also helps prevent weed growth.
