Your lawn and garden are important to you and require a ton of tender love and care to keep them growing healthy. We all know that the most crucial ingredient to keep a lawn lush is a great irrigation system no matter how you slice it. If you’re looking to upgrade your watering game to a sprinkler system, look no further! We’ve got all you need to know right here:
How much water does my lawn actually need? The answer is a lot, but less frequently than you would think. Believe it or not, watering a little bit each day can actually harm your landscape rather than help it. Instead, water deeply once a week so the roots can really soak it all up. A good rule of thumb is to sprinkle about 1 inch of water during each session.
Can I use an above-ground system? While yes, a lot can be accomplished with an above-ground system and a garden hose, they may not provide the best benefits for your lawn and lifestyle. These systems are cumbersome and require a great deal of your time to manage. However, if your budget is tight and you’re not ready to splurge on an in-ground system, the above-ground option is inexpensive and can be used in tandem with a timer-system for best results.
And if I choose a below-ground system, what are my benefits? The best benefit of an underground system is the ability to water your garden with a lot less man-power needed. The sleek, hidden sprinkler heads are custom placed strategically to optimize water coverage for your landscape. There are a wide variety of sprinkler heads, including custom specialty heads and rotor heads, that provide different spray and coverage options.
How do timers and rain sensors work? With an underground system you’ll be afforded the luxury of not only implementing a timer system, but also taking advantage of rains sensors. Timers fully automate the watering process, allowing you to set your sprinklers to turn on and off whenever you choose. Rain sensors work in tandem with timers to trigger an automatic shut-off or timer bypass on days where it rains heavily. That way, your lawn isn’t overwatered, and water isn’t wasted.
