If you water your lawn by turning sprinklers on and off, moving them to different sections of your lawn, you might find that you have under or over-watered. The better option to easily maintain your landscape is to install an automatic sprinkler system. Consistent watering will improve your landscape and save you time and money. And an attractive lawn and well-maintained home will increase your home’s value. How to Save Time If you’re tired of dragging around hoses and watching how long your sprinkler has been watering, moving hoses and sprinklers to a new location, then it’s time to consider automating watering your lawn. No more hoses; no more tracking time; no worries about over or under-watering. Lawns are easily over-watered. However, an automatic sprinkler system will conserve water by directing water to specific areas. The correct amount of water at the right time of day or night will ensure that your grass and plants look greener and healthier. How You Can Save Money Using a Sprinkler System It starts with a good system installation and proper programming. Many people water at night because there will be less traffic on the lawn. Watering at night also allows grass to absorb more water which should reduce the amount of watering needed. This will save money and produce a greener-healthier looking lawn. If your watering system includes a rain sensor it will detect a certain amount of rain and will automatically turn off the system. When the sensor is dry, then the sprinkler system will continue running as scheduled. Rain sensors also detect freezing or below freezing weather and will automatically shut off the system. Actually, your sprinkler system should be winterized and turned off during the winter months. If you're ready to automate the watering of your lawn, contact us to get a FREE estimate.
