Save Time, Money, And Energy With An Installed Yard Irrigation System

By Rebecca Hall


Do you own a yard at home that you are proud of? Many individuals take good care of when it comes to planting and setting up beautiful lawns to enrich the appearance of the landscape. The amusing thing is whereas put will spend this much effort to start such a project, most of them end up forgetting to give it the care it actually deserves. One thing that is major for the survival of the lawn like irrigation is also normally forgotten. While certain landscapes in exclusive climates may need little additional watering, it is almost impractical to maintain a lush lawn in warmer temperatures without an automatic yard irrigation system.

A drip watering system is great in an area where drought conditions exist, where the local authorities don't allow regular watering. With a timer regulating the way drip watering occurs, you can easily make a little water go very far. Let's look at how you would install a drip watering system above ground.

The important thing to remember is that plants differ not only in the quantities of water they need but also in the frequency of the watering. To take two extreme examples; annual flowers might require watering every three days in the summer, while many drought-tolerant shrubs and bushes are not only able to survive on a once-a-month-schedule, but actually, suffer from over frequent irrigating.

Many of the watering controllers available to the private garden market consider this, by having three programs that allow for three separate watering schedules. Effectively, this provides for one schedule for the lawns, one for trees and shrubs, and another for flowers.

When you place piping within the ground, you bring water directly to the roots of the plants, and there is no water at all lost to evaporation. It makes for the best kind of use of your water. No one will oversee you watering your lawn; they'll just to see how beautiful the results are. You do have to put in a little extra work, in the beginning, to bury all the pipes though.

A lawn watering system increases your home's value. Having the right system will result in noise reduction, dust control and carbon sequestration. (A natural or artificial process by which free-flowing carbon is captured and held, thus helping the environment.)

If you try to push to much more water, you would increase the velocity or speed of the water and thus cause excess friction and pressure loss. Also, you would increase water-hammer which is bad for the system.

On summertime, splitting you watering times for warm-season grasses by completing half the necessary amount in the morning and the other half in the evening is an excellent way of using water. Take extra care watering in the evening as foliage tends to stay wet through the night if too much water is used, which makes the lawn weaker and prone to diseases.
