Sprinkler Systems
A well planned sprinkler system for your garden will save you
water, time, energy and money! Sprinkler systems
will deliver the correct amount of water to your lawn and garden
whenever you want it and produce a lush lawn and healthy flower and
vegetable gardens. No more dragging your hose all over the
plants in your yard! When you install your own sprinkler
system you can even deliver water to
hanging baskets and container plantings too!
Lawn Sprinkler Systems
The roots of your grass are actually very shallow, generally
between two and four inches deep. This means that your
lawn will dry out quickly in hot weather and before you know it,
you begin to see yellow and brown patches as your grass goes
dormant. Light watering results in the penetration of water
to only one or two inches which means that your lawn roots
become even more shallow causing them to be even more susceptible
to drying out. As well, the weeds that live in your
garden often have deeper root systems and this means that they
will continue to grow and thrive in the dryer conditions!
Flower and Vegetable Sprinkler Systems
The beauty of an automated sprinkler system is that you can
adjust each sprinkler head for each individual plant or area. The shady moist areas need less water while the hotter dryer areas
receive just the amount they need to thrive. Vegetables
like cucumbers can get an even and regular amount of water
preventing bitterness, while plants like tomatoes or squash that
don't like their leaves to get wet, can be watered from low
mounted drippers.
As you investigate sprinkler systems you will find there are
many different types available. Some require a lot of
digging and professional installation, but there are systems that
are much simpler that you can put together yourself in just a day. Check out some of the merchants we have rated that feature all
