Benefits of Irrigation Systems
The demand for irrigation in a residential landscape can change with the season and landscape because different plants have varying watering requirements. At Auburn Irrigation, we understand this and offer custom irrigation design and installations to our clients in central Alabama.
Every plant in residential landscaping requires water to develop. As a homeowner, you want to guarantee that each plant receives the proper amount of water without wasting water on parts that do not require it or on vegetation that needs less. An Irrigation system:
- Enables you to ensure that your whole landscape receives the water it needs at set intervals to withstand the climatic changes and thrive.
- Permits you to water select zones for a longer time, resulting in much more water for plants that require it.
- Prevents irrigation of places that do not require water.
- The irrigation controller allows you to establish the timetable, and the system will automatically irrigate each region (zone) according to the schedule.
Why You Need Professional Irrigation Design
Although many companies offer irrigation design, you must hire a proven and credible company because they will:- Have the knowledge and experience to understand your needs.
- Survey the available space before drawing up a custom irrigation design.
- Provide you with all the details you need about the available irrigation systems.
- The most common modern irrigation systems are Hunter and Rain Bird. They have some similar features and some unique ones. Skilled irrigation specialists explore how these systems work and will then set them up to ensure your landscape gets adequate amounts of water at the right time.
The Importance of High-Grade Irrigation Installation
There are many reasons to opt for modern, automated irrigation system installations, such as:- Automation - Apart from flicking a switch, no manual effort is required to operate an automated system. You do not even need to be there when your lawn is irrigated.
- Efficiency - Water conservation is perhaps the most compelling advantage of an automatic watering system. Say hello to properly hydrated walkways and roads. Automated systems give accurate coverage, removing the need to worry about over-or under-watering your grass. Timers can be programmed for daily and weekly watering and low-evaporation periods. Moreover, you can incorporate "smart" moisture sensors in various systems. These devices detect precipitation levels in real-time and activate only when the soil is dry.
- Cost-effective - Automatic irrigation systems deliver water to your lawn precisely where and when required, reducing utility bills, and offsetting the initial cost of installation. Automatic sprinklers pay for themselves within a few years and can even increase the value of your house.
- Service and Maintenance - Many irrigation professionals now utilize a vibratory plow for rapid installation and minimal damage to a lawn that leaves practically no indication that the ground was even disturbed. A skilled contractor will also provide essential irrigation maintenance services and check the sprinkler heads and pipes for signs of damage or deterioration, fixing them before they get out of hand.
