It's impossible to create enviable grass without water. Certain regions are fortunate enough to receive the amount of water they need from rain. For all of us, sprinklers are the most efficient method to distribute water to your lawn.

What is the best method to water your lawn? If you're currently carrying a hose into your backyard with a portable sprinkler head that is attached to it, you might be thinking about installing an automated sprinkler system. Think about the pros and cons of a sprinkler system, so that you are equipped with all the details you require to make an informed choice.

Benefits of Installing an Automatic Sprinkler System

The main reason to switch to automatic sprinklers is to make the task of watering your lawn a more relaxed experience. It is possible to set up a timer to have sprinklers automatically appear and water your lawn according to set intervals on certain dates of the week.

• Safety and aesthetics: There's nothing appealing in a garden hose that is stretched through your grass. If you don't take the time to put the hose away at the end of each irrigation session, this view is a necessary consequence. The hose can also be dangerous for kids or pets who play on the lawn. On the other hand, automated sprinkler heads appear from the ground, sprinkle your lawn, and then disappear when they're done. This makes them the more secure and more attractive option.

• It is important to water your lawn at the right time: We recommend watering your lawn in the early morning. When the sun's down, it will reduce the amount of water that evaporates, and making the decision to water in the morning instead of the evening is a better choice which can reduce the spread of disease that may happen if your lawn is wet all night. The most effective method to benefit from early morning watering is to set the timer for your automated sprinkler system.

• The right amount of water: Modern automated sprinkler systems incorporate sensors for soil moisture and weather to ensure that you get the right amount of water exactly when it's required. When it detects rain, the advanced system can defer scheduled irrigation, avoiding oversaturating the lawn and saving you money.

• Drinking water while away from home: It's a great holiday time. Simply because you'd like to go away doesn't mean you're penalized with a lawn that is yellow upon your return. Automatic sprinklers remove the requirement to ask an acquaintance to sprinkle your lawn when you're away.

Drawbacks of Installing a Sprinkler System

• Cost: Maybe one of the reasons why you've not yet put in a sprinkler system is due to the thought of expense. But, with the help of the experts, you know precisely what the price will be before getting to work.

• Landscape damage: It's better to put in the sprinkler systems before the landscaping is finished and the sod is laid. If not, the installation of a sprinkler will require sections of lawn that need to be sunk so that pipes can be laid and connected to the house's plumbing system. It can take a few days or weeks, depending on the size of your lawn. That means that if you are retrofitting your lawn with automatic sprinklers, make sure to combine it with other projects in the event, like planting trees and installing a hardscape so that the entire project can be done in one go.

More difficult repairs include underground pipes, automatic sprinkler heads, mechanical components, timers controllers, and other parts and components. Many issues can arise with an automated sprinkler system. Luckily, skilled specialists can troubleshoot and fix issues with sprinklers for a low cost.
