Located 16 miles south of downtown Dallas in Cedar Hill, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. Nowhere in North Texas can one find a greater variety of rare species than in Dogwood Canyon. Plants and animals from east, west and central Texas converge here, making the Canyon the only place in the world where one can find the Black-chinned Hummingbird of west Texas nesting in the flowering dogwood tree of east Texas.
Spring is just around the corner and now is the time to make sure that your irrigation system that's been hibernating all winter is operating at peak efficiency. Just like anything else, your irrigation system needs to be maintained. Since outdoor irrigation accounts for up to 60% of water use in the spring and summer we need to make sure it is functioning correctly as to not waste a single drop.
