Sprinkler Systems

Sprinkler systems have been acknowledged as the best method of ensuring an equal and optimum supply of water to every inch of your lawn and garden. Sprinkler systems can be of two types -- spray heads and rotor heads. Spray heads can either be hidden in the ground, popping out only when the sprinkler system is switched on, or they can remain visible above the ground even when the sprinkler is not activated. Spray heads release a large quantity of water in a short span of time, making them perfect for even surfaces. Rotor heads are better suited to slopes, because they release water more uniformly.

Home sprinkler system can also be in the form of automatic irrigation systems that can be programmed to switch on and water your lawn even when you are not at home. They can also be programmed to promote water conservation by delivering differing amounts of water in specified areas. Automatic sprinkler systems can actually save you money on replacing dead plants and grass. The kind of soil type your garden has can also affect your choice of irrigation system. For instance, sandy soil requires more frequent watering because the water can quickly percolate through the pores. For such type of sand, you need to program your garden sprinkler system to deliver water over many short durations. Clay soil types should also be watered in this fashion, because water needs time to absorb into the earth.
