Who has the time to fight with a hose sprinkler these days? Watering your lawn is the most important thing you can do for healthy grass, but it can be fussy to do yourself. Toss that hose sprinkler. A professionally installed irrigation system will save you time, money and water.

1. Maximum Control
Different areas of your yard can have different water needs. Shady areas need less while sunny areas need more. That awkward, swampy spot in your side yard may do better on a different schedule than the rest of your lawn. From the right sprinkler heads to the right control box, an irrigation system lets you customize your irrigation plan to the finest detail. You can even have custom settings for planting beds.

2. Set It and Forget It
Not everyone can get out and water their lawn at 5:00 AM. With an automated system, you can set your schedule and walk away each season. Each zone can have its own schedule, and systems with rainwater detection built in will even adjust automatically to prevent overwatering.

3. Even Coverage
No matter what you do, hose sprinklers will leave gaps and cause unnecessary overlap that stress your grass. Irrigation systems are installed carefully to ensure every area of your lawn gets even, exact coverage. It cuts back on brown spots and the potential for disease.

4. Save Water
If you’ve ever forgotten to turn your sprinklers off, you know how easy it is to waste water with DIY watering methods. Lawn irrigation systems allow for precise applications of water. No more watering the sidewalk. Your system will be calibrated to minimize water use while maximizing the health of your lawn.

Irrigation installation is best performed by professionals. A sprinkler pro can match the right system to the right lawn, install it properly and adjust it for maximum benefits. Don’t forget to have regular maintenance performed to keep your system running beautifully.
