Water is a true necessity for a healthy lawn, and you may do your best to hydrate your lawn and garden as needed through your hose and sprinkler. However, there are few outdoor maintenance chores that are more bothersome than watering the lawn. Consider the struggle associated with lugging the hose to different areas of your lawn and carefully positioning the sprinklers so that all areas of the lawn receive the same amount of water. You may have to make several adjustments to the placement of the sprinkler before you get the stream of water in exactly the right location. More than that, you may struggle to find time in your day to water the lawn when it needs it, and because of this, you may find that your lawn goes several days or more without water when it is parched. You can more easily protect and serve your landscaping with an automatic sprinkler system.

Give Your Lawn Water When It Needs It
When you water your lawn with a sprinkler and hose, you must watch the clock so that you can accurately control how much water your lawn receives. This means that the process can take several hours of your time in some cases. Both over-watering and under-watering can be detrimental to the health of lawn and gardens. In addition to this challenge, you may also find that the day when your lawn really needs to be watered, you are too busy to do so. With an automatic sprinkler system, you simply program the system to turn on and off as desired. Many modern systems also have rain gauges and temperature sensors, and this means that the system can be programmed so that it does not turn on after it has rained recently.

Enjoy the Benefit of Thorough, Even Coverage
Another challenge associated with watering the lawn on your own is getting the sprinkler adjusted properly to ensure that all areas of the lawn receive even coverage. The positioning of the sprinklers as well as the intensity of the stream of water can impact coverage. When an automatic sprinkler system is installed, the positioning and the placement of the sprinkler heads is carefully determined. Furthermore, the power of the stream of water is controlled by the system. This takes all of the guesswork and hassle out of watering your lawn and gardens.

Watering your lawn may be one of your least favorite activities, but it must be done to keep your lawn and gardens healthy. Investing in an automatic sprinkler system is a great way to take the hassle out of this chore while ensuring that your yard gets the water it needs.
