Did you know that a third of the water most people use comes from watering their yards and gardens? With that much water being used for one particular task, it’s no wonder that choosing an irrigation system that is suited to your needs is so important. 

How can you know what system will work best for you, though? USA Hoich Irrigation believes that the first step is understanding the differences between your options. They service homes in and around Omaha, NE, and they have a few recommendations for learning about and choosing the right system for your lawn:

• In-Ground Systems: Among the most common home irrigation systems are the in-ground variety that spray a certain section of your lawn. These should be placed adjacent to an area you want watered without too much overlap with other sprinkler heads. This is a fairly common choice of sprinkler that fits a variety of needs.
• Soaking Systems: Not all irrigation systems spray water. Instead, some slowly soak the soil over a long period of time. These use a hose stretched over a section of your yard and pump water directly into the soil. This is a great choice if you’re concerned about water waste, since these types of irrigation systems can use up to 80% less water than a sprinkler.
• Drip Systems: Yet another variety of irrigation system is the drip system. A drip system runs a hose over a stretch of your yard and slowly drips water throughout the day. This is slightly less effective than the soaking method, but uses up to 90% less water than a traditional sprinkling system.

Your choice of irrigation ultimately comes down to how you want to balance your water use and costs. If you need help coming to a decision, consult with USA Hoich Irrigation.
