Deciding whether or not you need an irrigation system for your lawn and garden is an important decision. An irrigation company can help guide you in determining if installing a system is right for your outdoor space. Here are some top reasons why investing in an irrigation system from an irrigation company might be beneficial for your home.
Saving Time and Effort on Watering
Manually watering your lawn and outdoor plants can be extremely time-consuming. Depending on the size of your yard, irrigation may be required either on a daily basis or every few days, especially during hot and dry conditions. An irrigation system allows you to customize a watering schedule that provides your landscaping and garden with just the right amount of hydration at the ideal times. With an automatic system handling this task, you’ll save hours of your precious personal time not having to drag hoses and sprinklers around the yard.
Promoting Healthier Grass and Plants
It can be tricky to evenly water all areas of your yard when you hand water with sprinklers and hoses. Some spots inevitably get missed or underwatered. The customized spray pattern of an irrigation system delivers an equal distribution of water across all of your landscaping. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, in 2018, farmers irrigated 51.5 million acres of harvested cropland acres in the open. The consistency in moisture levels prevents dry, crispy grass and wilting plants. Areas that tend to get overwatered with standard sprinklers also benefit from better coverage. Healthier greenery with fewer dead patches results when you automate the watering process.
Customization Options for Your Unique Space
Every home landscape has its own unique size, shape, and arrangement of plants. The flexibility of an irrigation system allows the irrigation company to customize the equipment design specifically for your yard’s parameters. Options like spray distance, rotation degree and speed, and zone dividing provide precise hydration without water waste from overspray. Smart high-efficiency systems can even automatically adjust watering times based on weather conditions and soil moisture levels monitored by sensors. Any future additions or changes you make to gardens and landscaping can also be integrated into your existing system.
Efficient watering brings healthier plants while also conserving this precious natural resource. Irrigation systems apply water right at the soil level rather than spraying midair where some moisture evaporates before reaching the ground. Proper timing controlled by an irrigation company also ensures less runoff from applying too much water at once.
