Everyone wants a beautiful, green lawn, but watering can be a pain, especially during the hot St. Louis summers.
Adding an irrigation system to your lawn not only saves you from this, there are other benefits as well.
1. Saves time
Installing a sprinkler system is a massive time saver. You can set when you want the system to run, and how long you want it to run for. This means you can water your lawn when you’re out of town, at work, or asleep.
2. Saves water
An irrigation system will use just the right amount of water for your lawn, which means no more over or under watering. The system is positioned so it’s not watering the streets or the sidewalk, and most sprinkler systems have a sensor so they won’t turn on when it rains. You can also adjust the settings of your system during droughts, periods of water conservation, or periods with unusually high rain.
3. Adds value
Having an irrigation system installed adds value to your home. Simply having the system adds value, but it also indirectly adds value. An irrigation system makes sure your lawn looks good year round which increases the curb appeal.
You can DIY a sprinkler system, but it’s always better to contact a professional because:
• A professional can determine the best type of system for your home.
• A professional can design the best set up so you are getting the most out of your system.
• A professional can install you new irrigation system with minimal damage.
While a sprinkler system can be installed any time of the year, it’s optimal to have it installed in the spring or fall.
You’ll also want to be sure to schedule regular maintenance appointments so that your irrigation system is always in peak condition.
