Watering the grass may be something retires can do with a hose, but if you have to spend five days a week working, you likely won’t be as thrilled with the idea of spending your weekends that way. Because of this, your results are likely to be unsatisfactory even if you decide to use the hose anyway. You’ll have other things to do, and this will often lead to you forgetting to water the lawn at all. If you use a sprinkler that’s connected to a hose, distractions will still be a problem. Forgetting to turn those sprinklers on or off will result in either droughts or flooding, neither of which are good for the grass.
The solution is to have a Grand Rapids professional lawn irrigation service install an automatic sprinkler system. These systems can be set up so that they run at certain times every week to keep the lawn watered. You won’t have to spend any time fussing with manually-activated hardware store sprinklers, stand outside with a hose, or even remember to turn the system on. You also won’t have to take on the project of installing such a system yourself if you have a professional do it.
When you hire a company like Sanderson and DeHaan Irrigation, they’ll send experts over to your location to design the perfect sprinkler system. This will ensure that all of the areas of your lawn will be properly covered by the sprinkler heads. There won’t be any grass-killing ponding, missed areas, or other such problems. Another important aspect that will be covered is the control panel. The choice of panel will determine what customizations can be programmed into the system. Some systems can only handle simple programs, while others can be customized to do different things depending on factors like the day, month, and whether or not it’s raining. It’s a good idea to get a rain-sensitive system so that you don’t end up watering the lawn while water is blasting down from the sky.
Once all of the options have been decided, it’s time for the Grand Rapids professional lawn irrigation service to do the work of actually installing the sprinklers. How long this takes depends on the size of the property, but for most people, the installation will be complete in a day or two. After that, you won’t have to stand there with a watering hose again!
