A key part to maintaining your landscaping is watering. But ensuring the different parts of your landscaping are receiving the right amount of water can be tricky, and poorly designed and installed sprinkler systems are bad for the environment and for your budget.

Read on to learn about all the benefits of a well-designed sprinkler system.
One of the easiest ways to recognize a poorly designed sprinkler system is to observe how much it’s watering surrounding pavement, as opposed to the lawn. This is a huge waste of water. Manually watering your lawn and landscape may seem like it would solve this problem and conserve water, but it also leads to a lot of water waste.
Water is one of our most precious resources and it’s important to not use more than necessary when taking care of your landscape. Besides being a waste of water, overwatering can also be harmful to your landscaping-even more so than underwatering.
Overwatering your lawn or plants can weaken them, leaving them susceptible to disease, or drown them and kill them, paving the way for weeds to grow instead. In addition to weakening or killing your plants, excess water runoff can carry away vital soil nutrients your plants need to be healthy.
Designing and installing a sprinkler system helps prevent overwatering, which leads to happy, healthy plants and lawns.
Saving water through sprinkler system installation saves you money as well. No more paying to water the pavement, or overwater your plants. Sprinkler systems use less water more efficiently, and less water in turn means a lower water bill.
Automating your sprinkler system saves you time during your day and is also helpful in making your watering more effective. During the hot summer months, recommended watering times are often early in the day-requiring you to sacrifice sleep unless you’ve automated your sprinklers to water for you.
When automating your sprinkler system, you can also install sensors which will detect when your plants and lawn have received enough water and turn off automatically. If it rained earlier in the day, or it starts raining when your sprinklers normally turn on, automatic sensors will turn them off-helping you water effectively and save water where possible, and saving money on your water bill.
Adding an irrigation system to your home is considered an upgrade and adds value. Whether you’re looking to sell your home, or you just want to increase your investment into your home, installing a sprinkler system is a perfect way to do so.
Plus, with the extra time and money you’ll save with your sprinkler system, you can tackle other home projects you’ve been thinking about!
