Yes, it’s spring and the season’s rains have just begun – but when summer arrives, the rain seems to come to a screeching halt. How can you protect your landscape – flower beds, grass, shrubs, and other investments in your Kansas City property? An automatic sprinkler system may be just the solution you’re looking for.
At IDL Company, we know that trying to water your landscape manually and do it correctly can be almost impossible. Using a water hose and $15 sprinkler to water one area at a time, or even hooking up several and watering various areas requires a substantial amount of physical labor. Even then, how long should you water – for 30 minutes, an hour, longer? And, how often do you need to go through this routine? The fact is, trying to water your lawn manually will likely not result in the beautiful landscape you want.
An automatic sprinkler system is the best way to protect your landscape investment. Why? These systems can be programmed to water specific areas only as often or as much as they need it. For instance, shrubs on the north side of a home that are shaded wouldn’t require the amount of water that grass located in an area that gets full sun for most of the day would. Certain plants require frequent watering, while too much water will kill other plants. In addition, the type of soil can make a difference.
Another important reason many Kansas City homeowners choose to have automatic sprinklers installed is water/cost savings. Manual watering can result in substantial waste of water. Automatic sprinkler systems are designed to help ensure your watering needs are met, while excess water is not wasted.
Flexible programming makes it possible for you to control the amount of water you use. If you want to put an inch of water in one zone and 1/2 inch in another zone, you can accomplish your goals. Whether you have shrub beds, a vegetable garden, azaleas, hostas, roses, crepe myrtles, oriental trees, ferns, or a combination of many different types of plants/flowers located in various locations, it’s easy to maintain a beautiful landscape without wasting one of the earth’s most important resources – and your money.
Why not take a “set it and forget it” approach to keeping your landscape beautiful and healthy? Forget dragging around hoses, hand watering, and hooking up cheap sprinklers that don’t distribute water evenly. At IDL Company, we provide automated sprinkler and irrigation solutions for Kansas City homeowners who desire to protect their landscape investment, and add to curb appeal. Give us a call today!
