The serious drought this summer affected our lives in many ways.
We all tried our best to keep our grass green, or at least hoped the roots are still alive so they would come back next year.. We watered trees and bushes of course.
But did you remember to water your foudation??
I have been seeing properties with cracked soil/ground around their foundations.
A friend of mine just inquired about it today!
Well it already had happened, you can fill the cracked ground with top soil so you amend the existing clay soil. Start watering around your foundation to keep moisture. Automatic sprinkler systems make your job easier, but you can hose around foundation.
Lastly, do not forget we are still in Stage 2 restriction in Austin.

Hope we get through this drought soon.
