Irrigation Services
There are several basic tips you can keep in mind to keep your lawn properly watered. For instance, you can water it in the morning instead of in the middle of the day when a large amount of water is lost to evaporation or in the evening when the risk of disease is high as grass stays wet all night. Getting the right irrigation systems for your lawn is another way to maintain its healthy look.
Different Types of Irrigation Systems
There are different types of irrigation systems that can be used for lawns and gardens. An experienced landscaping contractor knows what system to offer as part of their irrigation services. Each of these methods varies and is applicable to certain climates, soil types, and total land areas. For instance, sandy soil needs more watering as the water it absorbs dries quickly compared to soil that is mostly clay.Below are the different types of irrigation systems that our company recommends:
- Drip irrigation. This is a type of irrigation system that provides a continuous supply of water in small amounts to prevent the lawn from drying out. A soaker hose is used to supply water to the lawn. This is basically a rubber water hose with small perforations or holes throughout its length. This is a good option to consider if you want to conserve water as it doesn't spray large amounts of water on top of the lawn or plants but supplies the water at the ground level.
- Sprinkler. This particular type is ideal in residential irrigation systems as it is simple and inexpensive. The irrigation products that are required for this are sprinklers and a timer. One sprinkler can cover a large lawn area. There are several types of sprinkler heads that you can choose from for this irrigation system.
- Rotary sprinklers. These works by supplying water in a full circle through the use of a spinning sprinkler head. We usually recommend this irrigation service to Kentucky homeowners and commercial business owners who have vast lawns. For these sprinklers to work efficiently rotary sprinklers are installed with appropriate spacing between them so the whole area can be watered all at once.
- Underground irrigation systems. This is a very effective type of irrigation system. The pop-up sprinkler heads are installed underground, with a spring-loaded mechanism that causes the sprinkler heads to rise when it is time to water. The sprinkler heads go beneath the ground again when the timer ends. However, this is also more expensive. But for Kentucky homeowners who want an effective irrigation system in their lawns, this can be an excellent option.
