Plano’s watering rules, and why turf changes the math
From April 1 to October 31, Plano asks residents to water no more than twice a week on the days set by address: even-numbered addresses on Mondays and Thursdays, odd-numbered on Tuesdays and Fridays. Sprinklers are prohibited between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., watering during rain is prohibited, and runoff is not allowed. A separate winter schedule applies from November.
Checked September 2026. Rules change with drought stages; the Plano Watering Guidelines and Management page is the authority.
Zero water
With strict local ordinances and tiered water rates, artificial turf offers a zero-water solution. A typical 1,800-square-foot lawn can save approximately 99,000 gallons of water annually, potentially reducing water bills by 70%.
Built for the Texas sun
We exclusively install heavyweight (73–111 oz total weight) UV-stabilized turf designed to withstand the harsh Texas sun without fading or melting. Does turf get too hot in Texas?
What we install in Plano
Every install starts the same way: excavation 3-4 inches deep, Class II road base with decomposed granite, drainage, a commercial-grade weed barrier, then the turf cut to fit and finished with infill and power-brushing. The full six-step process is on our services page, and what sits under the turf is explained layer by layer in our base guide.
