As a homeowner, saving money on your home’s maintenance and landscaping is always a priority. While an experienced gardening crew will help maintain the look of your yard, you’ll still need to make sure the plants receive enough water each week in order to thrive. Installing a sprinkler system for your landscaping in addition to your outdoor gas lighting can help save you money, time, and energy while helping maintain your plants and your landscaping. The team at Cincinnati Gas Light Co. in Erlanger, KY, explains how sprinklers can save you money and why they should be a priority in your outdoor landscaping design.  

Why Sprinklers Save You Money

When properly installed, irrigation sprinklers use less water than other irrigation methods, keeping your plants hydrated while helping keep your water bill low. It does this by relying on a scheduled timer and watering only at optimal times of day when the sun will evaporate less water, allowing most of the moisture to go directly to the roots of your plants. In case of rain, automatic moisture sensors in sophisticated systems will trigger the control unit to shut itself off, helping further reduce the water your home’s landscaping uses. The lower your water consumption, the lower your water bill will be throughout the year, saving you money over the long-term.

Why Install Sprinklers When Installing Outdoor Gas Lights

Just like your yard’s outdoor gas lights, these systems help reduce your home’s carbon footprint while saving you money at the same time. However, during the installation of an outdoor gaslight system, gas lines will need to be run throughout the yard. Depending on existing fixtures, you may need to dig up soil in certain areas. Save yourself time and money by installing sprinklers when the soil is already disturbed. This way, you’ll reduce the damage done to your plants and keep installation costs at a minimum.
