🌲 💦Welcome to Your Shannon Pines Watering Guide! 💦🌱

Hey Neighbors!

We know keeping our lawns beautiful while conserving water is important to everyone. Here's your simple guide to watering in our community:

🏡 Your Watering Schedule

If your address ends in an ODD number (1,3,5,7,9):

• Water on Wednesdays & Saturdays

If your address ends in an EVEN number (0,2,4,6,8):

• Water on Thursdays & Sundays

⏰ Best Times to Water

✅ Early Morning: 12:00 AM - 9:00 AM  ✅ Evening: 5:00 PM - 12:00 AM

💡 Smart Tip: Setting your sprinklers for early morning (like 3-6 AM) works best! Less water evaporates, and your plants will thank you.

⛔ Please Remember

• No watering on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays

• No watering between 9 AM - 5 PM (helps prevent water waste)

Approved Traditional Floratam Grass

Turf or sod must be one of the following grasses, as required by our Governing Documents.

1. Floratam

2. Seville

3. Sapphire

4. Palmetto

5. Captiva

You have your choice of outside plants, bushes, and trees, so long as they are planted on your property and not in the easements, that they are not invasive species prohibited by the State of Florida, and that your landscaping plan is approved by the Board before planting. An Application to Proceed with Exterior Modifications is on page E) Forms for Members.

If you would prefer to have less grass and more plants, then you might consider a Florida Friendly Landscape. A booklet about this type of landscaping is below, and more information can be found online. Remember, any changes to your yard require an approved Application to Proceed with Exterior Modifications.

We have also included a guide from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) titled "Water Wise" with best practices and tips for using less water while maintaining your lawn and plants.
