Ask the Experts, Irrigation Control The Benefits of Having an Irrigation System April 5, 2021 Your trees, turf, and plants all need ample water to thrive. Having a proper irrigation system installed offers numerous benefits for your landscape. Not only will it help you maintain a healthy garden, but an irrigation setup can help you save energy, time and money. An automated system will also prevent under-watering and over-watering. As a bonus, it can help keep your landscape looking vibrant regardless of the season. Your manual watering system may be failing if it shows these signs: brown grass, inadequate water distribution, and unhealthy looking plants. Especially in Texas, where the weather is generally warm, having an efficient irrigation system is a cost-efficient way to ensure the diversity and sustainability of your landscape. If your current system has seen better days or if you have a manual irrigation system, it may be high time to invest in a brand new, professionally installed system. Protects your yard Naturally, having an automated irrigation system will help protect your plants, trees, and turf from drought and inefficient watering. A well-designed system will ensure that your landscape is getting the right amount of water. During the summer season or periods of drought, an irrigation system can spell the difference between dying plants and brown grass and having the best yard in the block. It would also be good to note that too much water is bad for your lawn. Excess water will drown your plants, can be harmful to the soil, and may lead to weed germination. A good irrigation system will effectively help control the amount of water in your yard.

It will give you one less thing to worry about, especially if you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time.
