Keeping your landscape well-watered is key to making sure your plant life and greenery always look their best. Though it is possible to water your landscaping by hand, a proper irrigation system comes with many benefits.
- Healthier Plants. Hydrating your landscaping with a hose or watering can is often unprecise and may leave some plants overwatered and others without enough. A well-designed irrigation system means your plants will be watered consistently and properly every time. During the irrigation planning process, your landscape will be evaluated to determine where to place sprinkler heads and how to time watering, ensuring complete, consistent watering for your entire landscape.
- Convenience. Because the best time to water most landscapes is early in the morning and before nighttime, disrupting your day to water your yard can be a hassle. If you have a larger yard, you may need to spend a lot of time and energy making sure all your greenery is watered. An irrigation system can mitigate the need to manually water your plants and can keep your lawn healthy even if you are unable to water it.
- Water Conservation. A properly configured irrigation system will save you water in the long run if you are currently hand-watering your plants. Because irrigation systems are consistent, they only use as much water as is necessary for your yard. Using a hose or watering can, it is difficult to tell when you have given your plants enough water, which can lead to overwatering. An irrigation system mitigates this issue and prevents wasted water by always dispensing the necessary amount.
