How will I benefit from an inground sprinkler system?
Since handwatering is done on a random basis, and at irregular intervals, an automatic sprinkler system will actually, in most cases, use less water. It will also disperse the water at an even rate, and for a predetermined amount of time. This allows you to water sunny and shady areas for different periods of time, and to water when it is most efficient. One obvious benefit is the ability to continue a watering program while you are away on vacation, etc.
First and foremost, an irrigation system can save you money on your water bill. In comparison to hand watering, which is more often than not done on a random basis and time intervals, an automatic irrigation system is quite efficient. Secondly, irrigation systems disperse water at an even rate. This allows you to water landscape beds, sunny areas, shady areas, etc for the amount of time necessary and no longer. Another obvious benefit of scheduled irrigation is that it will keep your lawn adequately watered even if you are away from home. No need to keep dragging hoses across your lawn and having to worry with wasteful watering. Install an automatic irrigation system to alleviate the burden.
