Green Acres LOVES lawn irrigation!
The best investment you can make in your lawn – and in your property – is an automatic lawn irrigation system. As a hydroseeding company, we know that a lawn with an automatic sprinkler system will become established faster, grow in thicker and have no call-backs. We believe in irrigation systems!
New Hampshire experienced severe drought in 2015 through 2016. Many non-irrigated lawns that normally survive the summer were lost because even they could not sustain the hot, dry conditions. Once the homeowner realized lawn was stressed, it was too late to save it. An irrigation system would have prevented that from happening. Let’s face it, we all want to take care of our lawns, but life sometimes gets in the way. An automatic sprinkler system saves time and saves lawns.
Instant return on investment. Most irrigation companies charge around $4,000 to install a fully automated irrigation system. When you factor in the increase in home value due to curb appeal – and the time you will save not having to drag hoses and move sprinklers – you could realize a hundred percent return in only one year!
Saves water. Automatic sprinkler systems use less water because a measured amount of water is delivered daily. Consistent watering maintains a moisture level in the soil. Once dried out, it takes a lot more water to re-saturate the turf to where it will take up water. Town water bans sometimes limit lawn watering to an odd/even day schedule. An irrigation controller is fully customizable – from time per zone, days per zone, rainfall amounts, and yes – odd/even day scheduling.
Virtually invisible and maintenance free. You can program your sprinkler system to turn on at 3 o’clock in the morning so that it doesn’t interfere with other household water usage. Other than hiring an irrigation company to blow out the system before winter (usually around $60) and turning your system on in the spring, a lawn irrigation system is virtually invisible and maintenance free. The only thing you’ll notice is your grass is green all season long!
