With the cooler fall weather, plants need less water than they need during the hot summer months. Just by resetting your landscape irrigation timer to water once a week, it should be plenty for your plants.
Fall is the ideal time to also renovate your landscape by converting it to low water using plants. With the cooler weather, it is a good time to establish new plants without a lot of supplemental water.
When the rain starts falling, you can pretty much turn off your irrigation and let nature do the watering for you.
