With spring around the corner, you may already be planning what flowers to plant around the hawthorn tree in your front yard, or perhaps you’re planning to sod certain areas of your yard. Whatever your lawn looks like, we all know that extensive heat during a Chicago summer can be very damaging to our green lawns and it becomes a chore to make sure every inch is watered with the proper amount.
At first, you may think that installing a home irrigation system throughout your lawn is more of a headache and an extra expense rather than a luxury. But, after reviewing the benefits, you may just change your mind.
GO GREEN
Green is hot right now. We have grocery stores providing incentives for using reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags and our vehicles are becoming more gas efficient. As we inhabit this earth, it is our responsibility to take care of it, and with an irrigation system in your yard, you will help with that mission.
Installing an irrigation system will save water, which not only helps our environment, but also helps your pocketbook. The sprinklers are capable of being set to water your lawn and garden at specific hours of the day to guarantee maximum absorption. Whether you’re home sleeping in, or out at a breakfast meeting for work, your lawn will be watered early in the morning when less water is evaporated by the sun.
Saving water isn’t all about timing. It’s also about placement. How much water do you think is wasted when sprinklers not only water your lawn, but also water your driveway? It may not seem like much, but when a small leak in your bathroom sink can add up to over 70 gallons of wasted water in one day, just imagine what a sprinkler can do.
SAVE TIME
Plenty of people enjoy gardening, but how many actually enjoy watering? Perhaps there are a few people who enjoy pouring water as a hobby, but most of us see it as a chore.
Irrigation systems are set to schedulers and timers so you don’t have to worry about waking at the crack of dawn on a Saturday morning to make sure the peonies get enough water.
HEALTHY LAWN
Home irrigation systems make sure every inch is covered, which means no more brown spots! Your grass, bushes, and flowers will be bright and beautiful this summer. So consider installing a home irrigation this spring.
