When it comes to landscaping and lawn maintenance, there is no one-size-fits-all approach that will work for every property. Each home requires a different irrigation system that will tend to their yard’s unique flora. The right irrigation system will not only be able to keep up with the watering schedule you set during the spring and summer months, but it should have the reach and technological capability to cover the entirety of the space without gapping or overwatering. 

The first step in choosing the correct irrigation system is to know what’s on the market and how it may benefit you:

• Flood Systems: Homes with gardens and plants that are prone to overwatering should try a flood system. The concept is that by flooding the actual soil surrounding the plants instead of blasting them at the top, you can avoid introducing too much moisture. These irrigation systems are great for homes with fruit trees or rose bushes, but because they use so much water, it’s important not to use them on a slope.
• Spray Irrigation Systems: Perhaps the most common sprinkler system, these simple attachments pop up when they are being used for watering and move back down into the ground when the job is finished. These systems use less water pressure, which makes them perfect for smaller yards with separated garden areas. These systems are also excellent for homes that require constant mowing or have small children, as their ability to disappear underground makes them less susceptible to damage. 
• Rotary Sprinklers: These sprinklers rotate and can cover a circle of up to 100 feet in diameter. While these systems are perfect for larger landscaping and turf, they utilize highly specialized components that will only work in places with strong water pressure.
