Planning And Installing An Automated Yard Irrigation System

By Rebecca Hall


Having a verdant, lush lawn doesn't just happen. It takes numerous hours of fertilizing, aerating, mowing, weeding and watering in order to have that gorgeous green, manicured finish. These long hours are often why many people settle for simply having an average looking yard. But quite often even the average yard can look better with a watering schedule that is designed to work with the type of grass and your climate. One such way to do this is by implementing a yard irrigation system.

A drip watering system is great in an area where drought conditions exist, where the local authorities don't allow regular watering. With a timer regulating the way drip watering occurs, you can easily make a little water go very far. Let's look at how you would install a drip watering system above ground.

Not sure if a lawn watering system is worth the investment? Then consider these benefits of having one installed. Your lawn will always look great, from the beginning of the season and beyond. No more need to hide your head in shame when you see your neighbor's great looking lawn.

Many of the watering controllers available to the private garden market consider this, by having three programs that allow for three separate watering schedules. Effectively, this provides for one schedule for the lawns, one for trees and shrubs, and another for flowers.

When you place piping within the ground, you bring water directly to the roots of the plants, and there is no water at all lost to evaporation. It makes for the best kind of use of your water. No one will oversee you watering your lawn; they'll just to see how beautiful the results are. You do have to put in a little extra work, in the beginning, to bury all the pipes though.

A lawn watering system increases your home's value. Having the right system will result in noise reduction, dust control and carbon sequestration. (A natural or artificial process by which free-flowing carbon is captured and held, thus helping the environment.)

An watering system encourage water retention for the soil, so your grass looks healthier because it can easily get the nutrients it needs. Having a lawn watering system is a great way to acquire that magazine-worthy landscape. Talk to a lawn specialist to learn what system will be best for you.

On summertime, splitting you watering times for warm-season grasses by completing half the necessary amount in the morning and the other half in the evening is an excellent way of using water. Take extra care watering in the evening as foliage tends to stay wet through the night if too much water is used, which makes the lawn weaker and prone to diseases.
