Is it worth it to install sprinklers?

A new professionally installed sprinkler system comes with several benefits, including;

• Plant health - automated watering leads to consistent moisture levels and better plant/lawn care

• Efficiency - easier garden maintenance by automatically delivering water to the roots

• Convenience - saves the time and the effort involved in manually watering your plants

How many sprinklers do I need?

How many sprinklers you need depends on several factors, including;

• The size of the lawn or land

• The coverage area of your sprinkler

• Your plant and landscape needs

• Other factors like spacing and water pressure

Always measure your garden or land to ensure you get the correct number of sprinklers. Remember to consider the above factors for uniform watering.

You can also ask a good sprinkler installer for advice.

What is the minimum distance between sprinklers?

Always space your sprinklers evenly to avoid overlaps or gaps and ensure even watering.

The distance between sprinklers will depend on water pressure and type of sprinkler head. But, the standard rule is to use 'head to head' spacing. Your sprinkler should throw from itself to the next sprinkler.

For lawn sprinklers, the distance is about 50% of the nozzle throw diameter from the adjacent head.

A sprinkler installer can help you determine the minimum distance between sprinkler heads for your garden.

How much area does a sprinkler cover?

How much area a sprinkler covers will depend on the type of head, radius and throw distance.

But, in general, most spray sprinklers can cover anywhere from 8 to 38 feet.

If you're using professional sprinkler installation, they can help you find the right sprinkler to cover your area.
