After all the hard work, it’s a wonderful feeling when you see your plants finally bloom and your trees bear fruit. When the plants bloom, it is not the end of your gardening work. In fact, the challenge has just begun. How long could you keep your garden and green vibrant, especially when you’re in sunny San Diego?

San Diego’s climate is mostly sunny and semi-arid year-round. Summer is usually hot and dry, although winter is milder compared to other states. If you are a serious gardener, you know how difficult it is to maintain a green yard against the summer heat. Installing a lawn sprinkler system is very important to keeping plants in bloom year-round in San Diego.

Here are the top 3 reasons you need to install a lawn sprinkler in your garden:

1. In addition to maintaining a lush, green yard, even during the summer, installing an effective irrigation system conserves a lot of water. It is estimated that 70% of water consumption in many homes occurs outside the home. With lawn sprinkler systems, 40% of this outdoor consumption can be saved. Compared to using a hose to water your garden, an irrigation system uses less water to keep your lawn green and nourished. When the dry season comes around, you don’t have to worry about your plants drying out.

2. Depending on the type of irrigation system you have, it can provide even coverage in your area. All your plants will receive the same amount of water at the same time. No plant will be too thirsty or too flooded with water.

3. If you choose to install automatic sprinkler systems, you can save a lot of time by simply setting the controls and then forgetting about your lawn all day. Even shutting down the system shouldn’t be a cause for concern as you can set it to your schedule.

Lawn sprinkler system installation can be done by a homeowner or by lawn sprinkler experts. For DIY sprinkler system, first, you need to make a layout as to where you will place your lawn sprinkler system. Next, dig trenches, make sure they are level, and run the PVC pipes in the trenches. Bond the pipes with cement so that they are strong enough and that they do not leak. When you are done with the hardest part, begin installing the sprinklers at the T’s. Then tap the water supply line, install a shutoff valve and a shutoff and waste valve, and test the system to see if it works.

Better yet, you can seek the services offered by reputable lawn experts. In addition to doing all the dirty work, professional installers save you money and time in many ways.

Having someone do it for you makes the job faster than trying to do it yourself. The garden will not be a disaster for long, the lawn sprinkler will be put to the test right away, and your garden will start to green sooner.
