Live In An Area That Gets Little Rain? Install A Sprinkler System
If you live in an area that gets little rain, it can be hard to grow a healthy lawn. One thing you can do is install a sprinkler system to provide your lawn with the water it needs. Below are three different types of sprinkler systems you can choose from so you can get one installed and start using it.
Pop-Up Sprinkler System
A pop-up sprinkler system is commonly used by homeowners to water their lawns. The spray heads pop up out of the ground when you turn the sprinkler system on and go back down when you turn it off. This makes it much easier to mow your lawn without damaging the sprinkler system.
Depending on the pop-up sprayer you choose, you can determine how wide of an area it will spray. If you have a very large yard, you should consider installing more than one to ensure all the grass is provided with enough water.
Pop-up sprayers are popular because they are not as expensive as other types and require much less maintenance when compared to other sprinkler systems. You can purchase a timer with the pop-up sprinkler system to automatically turn the sprinklers on and off at a certain time each day.
Rotary Sprinkler System
A rotary sprinkler system is also sometimes called a rotating sprinkler system. This type has spray heads that spin around when the sprinkler is turned on. A high speed is used with this sprinkler so it can cover a wider range. Because of this, this would be a good choice if you have a larger yard.
There are different types of rotary sprinkler systems you can choose from. One type is a stream rotary sprinkler, which has more than one rotary so it can spray water in different directions at the same time.
There is also a gear-driven rotary sprinkler system. This type has gear-driven spray heads where constant pressure is used to provide the water through the spray head on a continual basis.
Impact Sprinkler System
Another type you can choose for your lawn is an impact sprinkler system. You will also hear this referred to as pulsating or impulse sprinkler systems. This type rotates the water in a circle as it waters your lawn. How large an area it sprays will depend on the size of the sprinkler system you choose. If you have a large yard, you may need to purchase more than one. For example, you could place one sprayer at one end and a second sprayer at the other end of your yard.
You will hear a clicking sound when the impact sprinkler system is running if you are standing near it. You can adjust the pattern the water sprays, and lower water pressure can be used with this sprayer.
Make sure you have your sprinkler system installed by a professional to ensure it is done correctly.
