Over watering can cause more problems than you think!!!

Have you ever considered that overwatering landscape can not only waste water but cost you in the long run?  It is a very common finding to discover water damage  to retaining walls (and even the foundation of the home) from excessive water that works its way into the composition of the wall. Over time this will destroy the structural integrity of the wall and ultimately will cost the home owner considerable costs to replace.
