Winter Watering Tips

1/31/2023

 
 Even though landscape plants are dormant and brown, they should be watered periodically.
When to water 
  • Water one to two times per month from November to April. 
  • Choose a warm winter day with air temperature above 40 degrees and unfrozen soil. 
What to water 
  • It is most important to water newly planted lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers. 
  • Established lawn areas and trees, especially those in sunny, windy, or exposed areas should also be a high priority. 
  • Do not winter water cacti, succulents, buffalograss, blue grama and very xeriscape plants. 
How to water 
  • Use a hose-end sprinkler or watering wand. Set a timer so you don't overwater.
  • Remove the hose from the spigot after watering to prevent freeze damage. 
  • Water slowly so it can soak in.

​Remove Snow and Ice Quickly

1/31/2023

 
Colorado Springs requires property owners to clear their walkways so that EVERYONE has safe access throughout the City!  Senior citizens, people with disabilities, parents with strollers, and mail carriers -just to name a few- struggle to negotiate hazardous walkways.  We need to do our part to make our community safe and accessible for all.

Timing: Once snow has stopped falling, residents have twenty-four (24) hours to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks adjacent to their property.  See the City announcement: coloradosprings.gov/neighborhood-services/page/snow-shoveling

Report A Problem: We encourage residents to work together to keep sidewalks clear for safe passage and to kindly remind neighbors with unshoveled sidewalks of the City's requirement.  To report a problem, please contact 385-5977 to provide the address of an unshoveled sidewalk.
