During the summer months, do you have a sprinkler that you use? Do you set aside time to water your garden and try to make sure that you do not end up with too much water in one area or another? It is something we have all dealt with and most of us have forgotten to turn off the water at some point. This makes a big, muddy mess; whether you are watering a garden or the lawn. For that reason, most new homes are being built with lawn irrigation systems installed because it does offer several benefits that you do not think about if you have never had access to a system. Do you know the many benefits of having lawn irrigation sprinklers installed?
Saves Time
Having a sprinkler system that turns on and off on a regular basis will save you a lot of time. You will no longer have to stand around and turn on the water, let it flow for a little while, and then turn it off to move the sprinkler to some other area. You will be able to go to the store and not have to wonder whether you turned off the sprinkler. You will not take a chance on adding more water than you need to and risk causing more damage to your lawn than good. Less worry will equal more time for the more important parts of life.
Saves Water
Most people, especially those who live in drought prone areas, have a limit to the water that they can use on a weekly or monthly basis. They may only have certain times of the day or certain days during the week when watering is acceptable. Odd numbered houses may be able to water on Tuesday and Friday, while even numbers can do it Monday and Thursday. It gets confusing and what happens if you forget? You have to wait and then your lawn sustains a setback. By using lawn irrigation, you no longer have to worry about wasting water. You do not have to worry that your water bill will rise or that some areas will get more water than others in the amount of allotted time.
Protects Against Disease and Erosion
Over watering can cause diseases to attack your lawn and it may also lead to soil erosion and washed out areas. It can cause an overgrowth of moss and weeds, turn your yard into a mud pit, and more. With an irrigation system, all areas get the amount of water that is needed and never anything more than that. Which do you think is best for your lawn?
