Why a Sprinkler System is the Best Lawn Watering Solution?

Answer 1

There are many ways to keep a lawn watered, but sprinkler systems are the easiest and most reliable of the choices. Standing outside with a hose is cheap, but it's also boring and time-consuming. This makes it too tempting to skimp on the watering, causing the lawn to turn brown even if one seems to have spent ages standing outside.

Using an inexpensive sprinkler from a discount store is often the first thing people will move up to after giving up on manually holding a hose. These are a slight step up, but still require the owner to move them around in order to water every area. They're also easy to forget about entirely; after a long day at work, watering the lawn is not usually on the top of someone's mind.

True sprinkler systems address all of the concerns with other watering methods. Though they're more expensive, they eliminate all of the hassles once they've been set up. Sprinkler systems often run on timers, so they automatically go on whether or not anyone is paying attention to them. They also can be set up to water the entire lawn at once or programmed to water sections of the lawn in succession. In a great improvement over the systems of years ago, some systems can even be hooked up with rain sensors so they don't go on during a natural shower.

It's always easy to spot the lawn of someone who has installed a sprinkler system. It's the one that stays green even in the heat of summer. Thanks to the regular water supply, it is also healthier and more disease-resistant. The only downside is that it's also the one that needs more mowing. This, however, is almost always considered better than having a lawn that's too dormant to need any cutting.

Installing a sprinkler system is simple from a technical standpoint, but it can be hard physical work if the lawn is large. For this reason, many prefer to hire installation services to do the work. It takes about a day for a service to install sprinklers in a small lawn, and a couple of days for a larger residential property.

Whether you do it yourself or hire it done, the lawn will have bare tracks where the hoses have been laid. These, however, are quickly eliminated by seeding over them. In just a couple of weeks, you are left with a beautiful lawn that requires a lot less work.
