A Sprinkler System May Be Worth It

Posted on: 20 April 2017

Keeping a nice lawn takes a lot of attention, hard work, and dedication. You have to make sure that everything is just right or you can end up with dead grass and a very ugly lawn. There are a few different things that you can do for your yard that make it much easier to care for. One of the biggest ways to take a load off of your shoulders in regards to your lawn is installing a sprinkler system. There are many reasons that installing sprinkler systems can be a great idea for you and your lawn. Here are three great examples of how a sprinkler system helps you take care of your lawn.

Timing Is Everything

You may not know it , but watering during the day is a great way to waste a lot of precious water. Many people water during the hottest hours of the day, and they think it is going to cool off their grass. The truth is that the water is mostly evaporating before it can do any good. The best time to water is early in the morning. It is cool during this time, and when the sun comes out, the grass will be able to pop. Also when the sun comes out it will evaporate all of the excess water. Excess water, which mostly occurs when watering at night, can lead to fungus which can kill your lawn. 

Set Amounts

You do not want to water to much or too little, you also want to make sure that everything is actually watered. A sprinkler system allows you to set all aspects of watering your lawn. You can set timers of when you want to water and how much you want to water. During the hottest months you may choose to water a little bit more, but all of these settings can be completely customized in the sprinkler system.

Set It And Forget It

If you do not have a sprinkler system you are at the mercy of a hose and sprinkler head. You will have to pack this around, and most of the time it is in a terrible part of the day. A huge benefit of having a sprinkler system is that you can set all of your functions to exactly what you want them, and then just forget about watering your lawn. You know that with a high quality sprinkler system, your lawn is getting watered. This is going to take a great deal of work out of keeping a beautiful lawn.

Constructing and Filling Raised Garden Beds

Hi there, I am Kirk Blathers. I would like to share my knowledge about raised garden beds, so I created this website. My raised garden beds house tons of bulbs that push up out of the ground as soon as the warm weather arrives. Alongside the beds, I have a few tubs full of fresh herbs and vegetables that climb the trellises. I would love to share the information I've gathered about created raised bed frames from scratch. Some people have used actual bed frames while others created the beds out of wood materials. I will also discuss soil, seed, and fertilizer selection for each bed size and type. I hope that the information I share will help you create a beautiful set of raised beds for your yard. Thanks.
