The Benefits of an automatic sprinkler system |
Having a beautiful landscape doesn't mean you have to spend hour after hour working in your yard. With a professionally installed automatic sprinkler system, your lawn will be the envy of the neighborhood!
In addition to keeping your landscape attractive year-round, an automatic sprinkler system will help conserve water too. Your system will place exactly the right amount of water on specific lawn and garden areas so that water is not wasted. The automatic sprinkler system also has moisture-sensing devices that can automatically turn off your system when it rains and some time after.
In fact, a professionally installed automatic sprinkler system is one of the best investments that you can make for your home. Just ask anyone who has one. There is no easier or more cost-effective way to beautify your home, increase its value, and save yourself a lot of time and money.
Keep in mind, however, that there is more to a sprinkler system than just sprinklers! System design and installation are critical factors that will affect your system’s performance and longevity. This is why it is important to have a professional irrigation contractor design and install the right system for your home. You can count on a professional to do the job right the first time.
So put away your garden hose and let Parkland do your watering for you -- automatically! You'll have greener grass, healthier plants, and much more free time to smell the roses instead of watering them.
Our sprinkler system is a complex network of pipes, valves, sprinklers, and electrical connections. Because it serves as the circulation system for your entire yard, the design and installation of your sprinkler system is critical. This is a complicated process that requires specialized tools and equipment, as well as a strong knowledge of landscape design and hydraulics. This is why it is so important to have a professional contractor design and install your system.
We will not economize that:
Not including a backflow preventer: This is often required by local codes to protect your drinking water.
Installing sprinklers too far apart: This makes it impossible for certain areas to receive enough water and can cause brown spots during the hot summer months.
Mixing sprinklers with different application rates on the same line: This causes one area to be overwatered in order to sufficiently water another.
Not using special watertight connectors and a protective valve box: These components are necessary to safeguard the electrical elements, guard against short circuits and prevent corrosion.
Trust Parkland. We know how! |

Drip irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigating. While sprinkler systems are around 75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are 90% or higher. What that means is much less wasted water! For this reason drip is the preferred method of irrigation in dry regions. But drip irrigation has other benefits which make it useful almost anywhere. It is easy to install, easy to design, can be very inexpensive, and can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants. If you want to grow a rain forest, however, drip might not be the best choice!
Drip irrigation works by applying water slowly, directly to the soil. The high efficiency of drip irrigation results from two primary factors. The first is that the water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run off. The second is that the water is only applied where it is needed, (at the plant's roots) rather than sprayed everywhere. While drip systems are simple and pretty forgiving of errors in design and installation, there are some crucial rules that has to be followed, in order to have a much better drip system.
