Does anyone use a sand point well for watering there lawns? Got my water bill and $300 for water is going to kill me in the summers. If so how deep and what are the cost am I looking at?
Thanks,

You could let your yard go dormant and take the extra time that you save by not mowing and spend it fishing.
Same goes for the $300 for water. I’d buy some toys with that instead.

I agree I have only mowed 3 times this year!
Just remember the grass in always greener on the other side…. so take it to the extreme!

Would $300 in green spraypaint cover your yard?

Funny, but in college I actually played football on a field in Texas that was spray-painted green. It looked nice and lush on film, but we got there and it was mostly dirt and some shreds of grass painted green

August 7, 2007 at 9:28 pm #597890I dont know a lot about sand points but I think they are figured as a shallow well. This means 25 feet or less. Going deeper than that it may be tough to do by hand. Talking to a local well company may be a good place to start. They most likely know the most about water levels in your area.
There are still a lot of people around that swear by witching stick for finding water also.

That’s what I do, I have mowed maybe 6 times this year and only once since Fathers Day weekend
My neighbers yard looks like a golf coarse though
