In San Jose, we recommend watering between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Watering within this window of time takes advantage of relatively low winds and less loss of water to evaporation.
Precise watering times vary depending on the type of watering device, soil, slope and plants. Keep in mind with clay soils, running an irrigation system on a lawn for more than five minutes will generally result in runoff.
