The benefits of an irrigation system include, a healthier landscape and lower landscape maintenance costs. But if your irrigation is outdated or in need of repair it could be ineffective or wasteful of water, costing you money and time.
The biggest recent advancement in irrigation is the programmability of reasonably priced controllers. There is also a greater selection of specialized emitters, sprinklers, drip heads, and sensors that affect the controller program according to moisture, rain, freeze and flow.
These kinds of equipment upgrades, along with tweaking the system for effectiveness and inspecting for integrity and leaks can yield a great improvement in the health of your lawn and landscape and possibly reduce your water bill.
It’s possible the water bill savings alone won’t justify the upfront expense. But when you also consider savings in your landscape maintenance it will begin to make sense. A healthy lawn and landscape not only looks better and adds value, but it is also less expensive to maintain with fewer treatments, renovations and replacements.
