When it comes to the health and beauty of your lawn, sprinkler systems have so much to offer. These devices ensure grass remains well-hydrated and green even in the hottest weather. However, they can also provide homeowners with some additional benefits. Here are a few reasons to discuss installation with a landscaping contractor.

How Do Lawn Sprinklers Work?

The type of system you choose will dictate how it functions. Oscillating sprinklers are very common thanks to their effective yet simple design. The oscillating heads move back and forth over the lawn to ensure even watering. In most cases, you can control the width and length of the spray to determine the proper coverage. If you're concerned about wind reducing the amount of water on your grass, an impact sprinkler is a great option. These devices utilize a high-pressure stream of water to ensure sufficient watering of grass and plants. 


Misting sprinkler systems are a great option when you want precise watering over a specific area. They can be set on a timer to distribute a fine mist of moisture to flower beds and other plants. If you want to cover a larger area, consider a traveling sprinkler. These devices use wheels and tracks to spray water over a substantially sized lawn. 

What Benefits Do They Offer Homeowners?

While it might seem like hand watering is the better option when it comes to water conservation, the reverse is actually true. Sprinklers provide a controlled amount of water, which can actually save you money on your water bills in the long run. It also ensures healthier grass and plants since it reduces the risk of overwatering. 


When it comes to time and effort, sprinklers greatly reduce your role in essential lawn maintenance. You can set the timer to go off during certain times of the day, such as early in the morning before the sun is at its hottest. Timing is crucial when it comes to watering, as moisture will evaporate much quicker in the midday sun.
