Do you know what kind of soil type you have at your property, or its PH? What kind of grass variety do you have? Do you have more than one? How many hours of sunlight does your front yard get anyway? What about the plants of the east side of your property? What are their watering needs? If you are considering installing an irrigation system at your property, these are all important questions to consider.
Let’s be honest, after our recent brutally hot and brutally dry Summers here in Middle Tennessee, more people than ever are looking to irrigation to help manage their properties watering needs. Nashville only received 39 inches of rain in 2023. It was our driest year ever recorded. However, 2024 has only brought us 35 inches of rain! If this trend continues, it’s likely that you will need to make a decision between installing irrigation, continuing the burden of manually watering or letting your plants and grass die.
We are big fans of efficiently and intelligently installed irrigation systems. It’s really important that you have a system designed that meets your individual properties’ needs. How many zones do you require? What’s the right sprinkler head? Where should your valves be placed and what kind of backflow prevention do you need in place?
Without a partner to answer these questions you could end up with a system that costs you more at the time of installation but also costs you more each month in your water bill. It’s important that you work with an expert that can help guide you in the process, get you the best value for your money and helps assure that your property will stay beautiful in the face of our changing weather patterns. Not only that, but you will also need someone who will help you maintain your system each year.
These are all important considerations as you weigh whether to install irrigation at your property.
