Garden irrigation system benefits

When you water by hand, more than 50% of the water is wasted through runoff or evaporation. Automatic irrigation settings, by comparison, offer multiple benefits to reduce your water supply usage, therefore conserving resources while reducing your costs.

Saves you water and time

Both sprinkler and drip irrigation systems can be set to daily or weekly watering, as well as timed for specific hours during day or night. The system will also automatically shut the water off when the irrigation process is complete. You do not have to be physically present for the water system to be effective. The automatic shut off will keep your water usage to a minimum, and lower your costs since less water will be used also meaning less pump hours and lower electric bills.

Reduces weed growth

By installing an irrigation system specifically designed for your landscape, only areas that truly need water will receive it, thus limiting your potential weed growth. Drip irrigation systems are particularly efficient at this: the system directs water specifically to each plant’s roots, rather than sprinkling over the entire garden.

Improves plant growth

Plants will grow faster and greener when watered with smaller amounts of water over a longer period, which is exactly what irrigation systems are designed to do. Installing an irrigation system will improve your plant growth significantly.

Preserves soil nutrients

Watering by hand often leads to excess water seeping into the soil. Water runoff seeps into the soil and carries precious nutrients away from your plants. Using an irrigation system will preserve your soil structure and keep your plants absorbing nutrients, not the runoff water.
