The yard dashboard

CTG turns public-source conditions into homeowner-scale signals. Derived scores are clearly labeled and reproducible.

🔥Heat stress17

How aggressively the next 24 hours are likely to stress exposed landscapes.

🌳Tree stress45

A CTG composite weighted toward drought and heat persistence.

💧Water need40

Landscape irrigation pressure—not permission to water.

🦟Mosquito potential88

Weather-based potential, separate from public-health surveillance.

🌱Planting conditions72

How forgiving current weather is for establishing plants.

📍Local spread52

Why your ZIP can matter more than the metro-wide average.

SHOULD I WATER?

Can you water and should you water are different questions.

CTG separates municipal watering rules from current landscape demand so you do not confuse an allowed day with a recommendation.
