Inground Sprinkler Systems - convenient, conserves water and Saves Plants
At first glance, installing an inground sprinkler system may seem to be purely a matter of convenience and not actual conservation. As wonderfully convenient as inground sprinklers are, they also help prevent the wasting of water that happens through over-watering, run-off and evaporation. Most horticulturalists agree that over-watering can be just as harmful to lawns and plants as under-watering. Over-watering hurts most vegetation by either killing it outright, or by not encouraging the plant to send roots deep into the soil.
Unsightly Hoses and Finding Time To Water Your Landscape - Problems Solved!
An inground sprinkler system eliminates the need for unsightly hoses - you won't have to worry about hiding your hoses and hose reels. The system itself is hidden from view and, other than when it is actually watering, it is practically invisible. Another benefit to having an inground sprinkler system is that you won't have to find the time to manually water, because electronic timers turn each station of the system on and off at the perfect time of day for maximum effectiveness in that area of your yard. Each station is independently controlled, and the settings are easily adjusted so each station has a custom watering schedule and length of watering cycle. Going away for the weekend, or even longer on vacation? No problem - your plants will never notice you're gone, because they will be watered right on schedule.
Evaporation And Run-off Are Minimized
The timing of watering is very important, because the desired result is to (1) minimize the amount of water actually being used, and (2) minimize the amount of water lost to evaporation, (3) minimize the amount of water lost to run-off, and (4) maximize the amount of water made available to your lawn and landscaping for healthy growth. An inground sprinkler system installed by Blue Ribbon Landscape will do all this and more!
