Implementing Irrigation
The weather in North America can be unpredictable to say the
least. It can feel like temperatures across Canada flip between extremes, which
can be difficult to keep up with – particularly outdoors. Dry months can
terrorize lawns and gardens but there is a way to keep your spaces green, even
during a drought.
Whether you are caring for a large lot or small patch of land,
water and hydration is key to lush, uniform and healthy growth. For as long as
humans have grown their own food, there has been irrigation systems to help you
out. If you are looking for an easy way to encourage growth, an irrigation
system may be the answer for you:
The Advantages of Irrigation
Installing an irrigation system can help to reduce your water
intake, conserving both resources and costs. These methods can also help to
direct water and resources to certain areas, making it possible to treat
problem areas directly.
Sprinkler Irrigation: Above ground or in-ground sprinklers
that spray water in a way that imitates natural rain fall. Small droplets,
released into the air allows these heads to reach further, treating more
surface area without wasting water.
Drip Irrigation: works through a system of pipes to water
grass and plants at the root level. This method can be used in all sorts of
non-turf areas, making it an ideal choice for gardens (both floral and
vegetable) as well as lawns and green patches of all sizes. This system stands out
as the most efficient, saving time, money and man power.
Subsurface Irrigation: Similar to drip irrigation but
tubes run underground. This is a great choice for higher heat areas. Because
pipes are under the surface, there is no risk of water evaporation. Materials
tend to last longer when they are underground, reducing the impact of animals
or other accidental damage.
Professional Installation
Because there are so many options for irrigation, it
is always better to consult with a professional before breaking ground on your
irrigation project. Specialists can help you choose the right method for you
and provide proper installation. When working with water, it is always better
to choose expert installation to avoid leaks and water damage.
