After all the hard work, it’s a wonderful feeling when you see your plants finally blooming and your trees bearing fruit. When the plants bloom, it is not the end of your garden work. In fact, the challenge has just begun. How long could you keep your garden vibrant and green, especially when you’re in sunny San Diego?
San Diego’s climate is mostly sunny and semi-arid throughout the year. Summer is usually hot and dry, although winter is milder compared to other states. If you’re a serious gardener, you know how hard it is to keep a yard green against the summer heat. Installing a lawn sprinkler system is very important to keep plants blooming year-round in San Diego.
Here are the top 3 reasons why you need to install a lawn sprinkler in your yard:
1. In addition to keeping a yard lush and green, even during the summer, installing an efficient irrigation system conserves a lot of water. It is estimated that 70% of water consumption in many homes occurs outside the home. With lawn sprinkler systems, 40% of this outdoor consumption can be saved. Compared to using a hose to water your garden, an irrigation system uses less water to keep your lawn green and nourished. When the dry season comes, you don’t have to worry about your plants drying out.
2. Depending on the type of irrigation system you have, it may provide even coverage in your area. All your plants will receive the same amount of water at the same time. No plant will be too thirsty or too flooded with water.
3. If you choose to install automatic sprinkler systems, you can save a lot of time as you simply have to set the controls and then you can forget about your lawn all day. Even shutting down the system shouldn’t be a cause for concern, as you can set it to your schedule.
Installation of the lawn sprinkler system can be done by a homeowner or by lawn sprinkler experts. For DIY sprinkler system, first, you need to make a layout as to where you will place your lawn sprinkler system. Next, dig trenches, make sure they are level, and lay the PVC pipes in the trenches. Cement the pipes together so they are strong enough and don’t leak. When you’re done with the hard part, start installing the sprinklers at the tees. Then tap the water supply line, install a shutoff valve and a shutoff and waste valve, and test the system if it works.
Better yet, you can seek out the services offered by reputable lawn experts. In addition to doing all the dirty work, professional installers save you money and time in many ways.
Having someone do it for you makes the job quicker than trying to do it yourself. The garden will not be a mess for a long time, the lawn sprinkler will be put to the test immediately and your garden will start to get greener sooner.
Professional maintenance service providers also know where to place the individual sprinkler heads in the system and where they will be most effective.
To make sure your plants stay vibrant year-round, install a sprinkler system in your garden.
