Winter and early spring can be a challenging time for homeowners and farmers attempting to maintain their plants and grow crops year round. Due to the drop in overnight temperatures, it’s common for greenery to suffer from frost. Luckily, there are ways to protect against this problem, and installing an irrigation well is a great place to start. 

What Is an Irrigation Well?

It refers to a water well that feeds directly into your landscaping or farming system. Instead of using your primary unit to provide water to your home or business and supply your sprinkler systems, it’s beneficial to hire a contractor to create this secondary resource. Moreover, since it does not connect to the municipal water system, you’ll save money each month on related bills.

How Do Irrigation Wells Protect Against Frost?

With an irrigation well on your property, you’ll have on-going access to water that can feed your sprinkler system. The setup allows you to schedule them overnight or when the cold weather hits. By keeping your plants damp and well-watered, you’ll reduce the risk of frost damage from frigid temperatures. Instead, the water will freeze on your plant life and crops, releasing heat and creating a barrier against cold air. The solution is known as frost-freeze protection and can save greenery during harsh conditions.
