Keeping your lawn green with no rain and water restrictions
  A major component to any new Atlanta home is the landscaping.  Everyone wants to keep their home picture perfect from the outside to the inside, but with the lack of recent rains and new water restrictions in Atlanta, it can be a challenge.  This month, Monte Hewett Homes wanted to review the recent restrictions in the City of Atlanta, Cobb county, Roswell and Gwinnett, as well as provide you with tips on using water responsibly.
 
  Restrictions:  We have done our best to compile the water restrictions for counties and cities with current Monte Hewett Homes projects.  Please note:  this is just a guide and not an official listing.  Restrictions can change at any moment.

  • City of Atlanta (from www.atlantawatershed.org):  "May 24, 2007 – The Department of Watershed Management is instituting new service-area-wide restrictions on watering. City of Atlanta customers may only water outdoors on Saturdays and Sundays between midnight and 10 a.m.; even-numbered addresses on Saturday and odd-numbered addresses on Sunday. No outdoor watering is allowed Monday through Friday until further notice. This service area includes the City of Atlanta, Sandy Springs and unincorporated South Fulton County." 

  • Cobb County (from www.cobbcountyga.gov):  "June 5, 2007 - In compliance with a statewide mandate by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, outdoor water use restrictions in Cobb County have been elevated to Level 2 of the Basic Drought Schedule for Outdoor Water Use.  Restrictions include: No outdoor water use between 10 a.m. and midnight daily. Even-numbered, or unnumbered addresses may water only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Odd-numbered addresses may water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. No washing of hard surfaces (sidewalks, driveways, curbs, etc. unless a public health issue). No outdoor water use on Fridays."

  • City of Roswell: (from www.roswellgov.com):  "June 4, 2007 - The City of Roswell will adjust watering restrictions to meet those imposed by the Fulton County Water System, effective immediately. Under the revised restrictions, outdoor water use will be limited to weekends only. Even numbered addresses are permitted to use water for outdoor purposes on Saturday mornings between midnight and 10 a.m., and odd numbered addresses are permitted to use water on Sunday mornings from midnight to 10 a.m."

  • Gwinnett County (from www.co.gwinnett.ga.us):  "June 6, 2007 - The State of Georgia currently limits outdoor water use to three mornings per week. Gwinnett County follows the state's regulations: Even-numbered addresses: Saturday, Monday, Wednesday Odd-numbered addresses: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday No watering after 10:00am. No watering on Fridays.

Quick Tip from the Monte Hewett Homes Service Department, Addie Cunningham

Most of the automatic sprinkler systems will reset to 30 mins per zone when
they lose their programming.  If you lose electrical power to your home, be sure to
check the programming in your sprinkler system. 
For most locations, 10 minutes per zone is more than enough!!

Water conservation tips:  According to Georgia's department of natural resources outdoor water consumption during the summer months increases 60%.  Just imagine the serve impact this has on our water reserves, streams and rivers, not to mention wildlife and their habitats.  Here are some tips to help conserve water, save time, and save money!

  • If available, join waterSmart.  This program was developed by the Education Rountable to deliver tools for homeowners.  Visit their website today:  http://www.conservewatergeorgia.net/

  • Water plants only as needed.  Did you know that most plants only need 1 inch of water every 7 to 10 days to stay healthy?

    • Simple sprinkling everyday is not as effective as a deep soaking.  Water your plants ONCE a week with a deep soaking of the roots to get the best results.

    • Don't water during the heat of the day.  The best times for watering is round 3am-9pm:  set your sprinkler system to work while you sleep.

    • When it rains, DON'T OVER WATER.  All systems have a shut-off.  Be sure to use that shut-off when we finally do get a good rain.

    • Keep your plants covered.  Mulch is the key.  Use bark, pine straw, or other coverage to keep the soil unexposed to the sun.

  • Do you know more lawns are damaged by OVER-Watering than Under-Watering?  Try placing a coffee can on your lawn.  When the level of water in the can reaches 1 inch deep, your lawn has had enough water.  For more information on lawns, visit our website at:  http://www.montehewetthomes.com/homecare/lawncare_tips.cfm

Sherwood Park - Townhome and Model Home to open June 18th

 


Monte Hewett Homes is pleased to announce the newest addition to the family, Sherwood Park.  Sherwood Park offers the opportunity to move into an as-yet-discovered area of the trendy Smyrna community with 57 three-story townhomes and 36 single family homes situated among pockets of greenspace and a neighborhood pool.

Next door to Sherwood, the City of Smyrna is investing more than $400,000 in Lake Court Park. That means residents can walk on a private path to access a new dog park, bocce court, volleyball courts and trails. Some residents will even have backyards that border Lake Court Park’s acreage. 

Plus, like all homes by Monte Hewett, those in Sherwood Park will meet EarthCraft construction standards for energy efficiency, minimal environmental impact and cleaner indoor air.  And, prices in this location beat all others with Towhomes in the $400s and Single-Family homes in the $500s
