subject: Why You Need Lawn Sprinklers For Your Home [print this page] The process of manually watering your grass can be quite tiring. You have to drag the hose (this is after making sure that it is properly connected) and setup a sprinkler head, only to move everything to water another area. Not only is this manually tiring, it is a very time consuming task to partake in a few times a week. This is why homeowners choose to install an automated lawn sprinkler system in their homes. Not only are you saving time and money, you have one less weekly chore to worry about while ensuring you are providing your lawn and garden with the ability to flourish.
Having a green lawn can be important for your home, as it adds aesthetic value. However, few people take pride in their lawns and gardens for financial gains as opposed to homeowner pride and personal interest. Caring and tending to your garden can be a meditative task that yields results the whole neighbourhood will enjoy. As anyone who has tried knows that this task is not as easy as it seems.
By adding a professional irrigation system to your landscape, you are providing your plants with an optimal growing environment that will allow them to not only survive, but also thrive. Regular and systematic watering will ensure that your green space gets the required amount of hydration at appropriate times, which will make the task of maintenance and care much easier.
For lawns, having a proper water supply will ensure that they stay green, soft and healthy. Regular watering allows the grass to continually grow without ever starving the plant of much needed nutrients. Once an area of lawn has dried up and the nutrients have been scorched from the soil, it can be very difficult to replant grass there ever again. If you live in a household with pets or children, you probably know that they both can unintentionally damage your lawn. Having a proper nutrient supply for the lawn ensures the grass regrows and dead spots can be alleviated, leaving you with fewer chores to tend to throughout the summer.
Gardens need a larger supply of water than grass (depending on a number of factors), and in just a couple of forgetful days all your hard work can be wilted. A permanent system also ensures that no areas go dry, again allowing the garden as a whole to thrive. An automated sprinkler system can be programmed to water specific areas with specific quantities of water by programming the length at which the system remains on for. Furthermore you can program the entire system to activate at peak watering times such as sunrise and sunset.
While having a beautiful garden will certainly add to the curb appeal of your home, most green thumbs put the amount of time and effort they do into their green spaces because they care. They are homeowners who want to come home to picturesque flowers and soft green lawns. Perhaps you even grow vegetables, which require ample amounts of regular irrigation. Whatever your reasons are, having an irrigation system will help ensure your success.
