Having an irrigation system and the benefits are only positive. You will find that you actually are conserving water, time, money, your lawn, plants, and flowers.
Water is a natural resource that we sometimes take for granted. Some areas around the world have more than others, some are affected, with pollution, filtering systems, or lack there of, and we want to make sure that we are using it as effectively as possible. Using an irrigation system is a great way to save on water, as you are only using what you need and when you need it.
Time is money. The time it takes for you to keep going out to move the hose or sprinkler and keep looking up at the clock to see if it is time, with an irrigation system it will be on a timer so that you don’t have to worry about that. In the long and short run, this is going to save you your valuable time and money. Those water bills won’t be as high either! You may also live in an area where there are water restrictions, so you will also benefit from using an irrigation system for this reason as well.
Even though most lawns need a lot of water, it is possible to over water, which in turn can cause fungus and disease to your lawn. To create the most environmentally friendly lawn, watering in the early morning hours are best when the wind is calm and usually cooler.
As far as your lawn, plants, and flowers, they will be looking as beautiful as ever. The irrigation system will be strategically placed so that it will give you the best coverage. You can also program your system to know when to water more or less depending on the needs of your lawn and plants, for example, when your grass is turning a blue or grayish color, as it may not be getting enough water. The great thing is that you can adjust your pressure and timing whenever you need to.
