Did you know that most people tend to overwater their lawn? The fear of a brown yard and tumbleweeds in the summer cause folks to get a little too liberal with the H2O during warm weather months, basically subjecting their lawns to mini flash-floods that drown the grass root system. An good irrigation system can provide the proper amount of water your lawn needs and help avoid overwatering. When irrigating, remember to give your lawn a refreshing drink either in the morning or evening hours; the evaporative effects of the wind and heat are at their lowest during these times.
There are many types of irrigation systems available to fit your type of lawn and keep it looking its best throughout the year:
Sprinkler Irrigation - The most common type of irrigation; great for watering lawns and for entertaining children.
Sub-Irrigation - This very effective irrigation system is contained in the ground and waters the root system directly.
Drip Irrigation - A piping system used to consistently provide deep watering. These systems are typically seen in gardens and areas of lawns that contain potted plants.
Surface Irrigation - A technique typically seen in large-scale farm production that temporarily floods an area to introduce ground moisture; it does occasionally have a place in home lawn applications.
