Lawn and Garden Irrigation System

If you need to water both a lawn and a garden there are different ways how this can be achieved. The best solution at hand would be to use two different systems, one for the lawn and one for your garden. This is because both the lawn and the garden have special water needs. In order for you to build the perfect lawn and garden irrigation system that will have the highest efficiency possible you might need to invest more at the beginning. Setting it all up properly at the beginning means money will be gained on the long run and money is one of the most important things to think about when doing anything these days.

When it comes to lawn irrigation systems your best choice depends on your terrain and water source. In most cases the best solution refers to using underground sprinklers and irritation pipes. Centrifugal water pumps are usually employed although displacement pumps are also very popular. If your terrain is a slope you should use rotor sprinkler heads while regular spray sprinklers might work well in regular lawn terrain situations.

The best garden irrigation system you could get is the popular drip irrigation system. This is because watered is delivered directly at the root of the plant and such an implementation means the garden is getting as much water as it needs. If you would rather use a sprinkler system you will see that water is wasted because it will not entirely reach the most important area it should: the root. Water will remain on leaves and uneven watering might become a reality.

If you build a mixed lawn and garden irrigation system you also have the possibility of using two different systems, one for the lawn and one for the garden and build them both in the same main system. It is achievable and you can even connect a regular rotor head lawn sprinkler system with a drip irrigation system. This would actually be the best solution but you need to be careful weather one water pump can keep a handle on the entire system. You might need a more powerful one. If you use two separate systems you will of course need to water pumps that can be connected to the same water line. If the watering is done at the same time, be sure that you will have enough pressure. You can turn it all automatic and this means different sectors will start watering at different times. This way, possible water pressure problems are reduced considerably.
