Watering and irrigation is a vital part of lawn care, and a sprinkler system is an excellent way to keep your grass and plants healthy. While it’s a common watering solution, there are many misconceptions floating around among homeowners about sprinkler installation.To learn a few, read below.  

4 Common Sprinkler Misconceptions

1. Duration of Installation

Some people assume their lawn will be dug up and in disarray for weeks on end while a sprinkler system is installed, but this simply isn’t true. It’s unlikely that installation will take more than five days, and it can be done in one day in some cases. The average time for installation is one to two days, but the size of your lawn is a factor in how long it will take the lawn care service. 

2. Damage to Lawn

Homeowners sometimes worry that the installation of the sprinkler system will damage their lawn, but this is a myth. The system they use utilizes vibration to install the pipe, and their machine is designed to precisely cut the sod rather than rip, tear, or otherwise damage it. 

3. Timing of Spray

Sprinklers are designed so that there are zones that water different areas of the yard at different times rather than running all at once. The zones can be easily controlled, and if you don’t want a certain part of your yard watered at a certain time, you can simply schedule it to be sprayed later or earlier.

4. Expense

Some may believe a new system will cost tens of thousands of dollars, but this isn’t the case. For an average-sized lot, it can cost between $2,000 to a bit more than $3,000. If this still seems high, think of all the time you’ll save in the long run and the health of the plants in your yard. Lawn care is definitely a worthwhile investment.
