If you’ve previously watered your lawn and garden by hand, a residential irrigation system can be a significant time-saver. Imagine hydrating your whole yard with a push of a button or by setting a timer. The guide below explores the benefits of this convenient, customized setup.

Why Choose a Residential Irrigation System?

Plan Ahead

Morning is the optimal time to water your lawn, before the sun is up at its zenith, causing the moisture to evaporate away. It is also much better for the plants than doing it at nighttime, since water clinging to the roots too long can cause disease. However, for many people, it's hard to find time before work to focus on their lawn care. With a customized system, you can advance-schedule when and for how long your sprinklers are on.

Use Less Water

Because your sprinkler system is designed explicitly with your landscaping layout in mind, it can provide targeted water exactly where it’s needed, instead of covering the entire yard. This means you’ll use less water total, which is good for both the environment and your bank balance.

Healthier Plants

In addition to focusing on certain areas of the yard, a residential irrigation system can also deliver water more specifically to the roots of plants. This will result in a greener, faster-growing garden.

Better Yard Aesthetics

Thriving plants will help your yard look more attractive, but they aren’t the only factor. You’ll no longer have hoses coiled up beside your house or sprawled out across the lawn to interrupt the view. Instead, water will be delivered by buried pipes and discreet sprinkler heads—a major improvement to curb appeal.
