Let’s discuss why it’s worth installing a sprinkler system this spring.
Spring is finally here, and lawns are returning to life. Installing a sprinkler system is a great way for property owners to save water, money, and time. However, not all irrigation systems are formed equally, so there are considerations when installing one in your home. For most people, the benefits of working with a licensed irrigation company far exceed the drawbacks and may prevent the need to spend more money in the future. Let’s discuss why it’s worth installing a sprinkler system this spring.
Save Time with Lawn Irrigation
Watering a small front and backyard manually can become time-consuming. Multiple factors will determine how much water your landscape needs and how often you will need to water, including:
- Where you live
- The current season
- The type of sod your property has
- Whether your landscape has native or non-native plants
- Your soil’s water-retaining capabilities
- The square footage of the area you will water
- Sun exposure – Full Sun, Part Sun, North, East, South, West, etc.
Take Advantage of Irrigation Timers
For professionally installed sprinkler systems, the whole system is primarily controlled through an irrigation controller or an “irrigation timer.” Current and new irrigation owners must certainly consider these valuable irrigation upgrades. Some irrigation advancements include soil sensors, rain sensors, and WiFi pairing, which allows you to control your sprinkler system remotely.
In particular, rain sensors are excellent for avoiding constantly adjusting your controller during the spring and fall when rainfall is more susceptible. In addition, the ability to water and monitor water consumption remotely is perfect for those who travel frequently.
An Irrigation System Will Help You Save Money
A sprinkler system is also great for saving you money. You won’t have to worry about paying a neighbor or landscaper to drop by to water your plants while you are out of town. Water is likely one of your expensive utilities monthly, especially in the summertime. By installing a sprinkler system in your home, you can help conserve more water and reduce your water bills.
Another great benefit of lawn irrigation is that you can water everything separately on its own timer. Installing a combination of drip irrigation and lawn sprinklers on various zones makes it possible to water every plant and patch grass with less water waste. Drip irrigation refers to water as a trickle from a hose, allowing your trees, plants, and garden to absorb the water supplied slowly. As a result, there is less water runoff.
