The mandatory water restrictions in effect in Lubbock, Texas temporarily prohibit anyone from using sprinklers. Limited hand watering of flowerbeds and gardens is permitted but landscaping is discouraged. Tom?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??s Tree Place has been working on lawns in Vintage Township and just laid sod, before the water restrictions went into place. A project that typically requires daily watering, which is something that can?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??t be done with the current restrictions, causes problems for nurseries and landscapers during their busiest time of the year. Alex Scarborough, a landscape architect with Tom?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,?? Tree Place says this is the first time he?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??s experienced anything like a stage four water restriction. He also adds that he?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??s sorry because if he would have had some advance warning of the restrictions he could have planned accordingly. The surprise means Tom?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??s Tree Place has to void all their warranties because usually warranties are only good if plants or trees are watered and cared for. ?EUR??,,????'?????<????????If you don?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??t water it, we don?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??t warrant it,?EUR??,,????'?????<???????? Scarborough said. For now the only saving grace is Mother Nature. Aric Johnston with Little Red Riding Hood Nursery said, ?EUR??,,????'?????<????????With rain everyday, we?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??ve had a little rain in the evening or in the mornings. Just enough showers thus far to keep us from having problems with drying out.?EUR??,,????'?????<???????? For now, preventative measures are the best protection. ?EUR??,,????'?????<????????If you haven?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??t mulched your beds, let?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??s mulch the beds and preserve the water we have. I wouldn?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??t mow my grass really short right now. I?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????EUR??,,??d let it grow a little bit longer and just keep things you know as good as you can,?EUR??,,????'?????<???????? Scarborough suggests. Source: WorldNow and KCBD
