People are naturally concerned with keeping their lawns green and their landscaping healthy and beautiful. There is also much concern about conserving our precious water resources, and Tampa has year-round water restrictions in place to ensure a sufficient water supply. At the time of this writing, watering within Hillsborough County limits is restricted to two days per week, with watering days scheduled according to address.
Improper Watering
Over watering can damage lawns and plants, and create a harmful buildup of pesticides and herbicides in the lawn. Too little water will also cause damage, leaving the lawn looking brown, and wilting or killing plants. A lot of water is wasted when manually watering lawns due to runoff and evaporation, while corner areas may become too dry and brown.
Tampa Sprinklers
A sprinkler system will help you to conserve water, while providing a beautiful lawn and landscape. It will save money by watering when only when irrigation is needed, thereby reducing waste. Sprinklers are timed and set to come on automatically at specified intervals, so there is no need to worry about forgetting to water. Once you set the schedule, the system does the work so you don’t have to interrupt your schedule to tend to it.
A well installed and properly maintained sprinkler system will deliver water to all the right areas at the right time. There will be no unsightly brown spots contend with, and no water wasted on paved or other areas. Irrigation can be scheduled for cool times, like at night when you are asleep, this reduces evaporation loss and ensures that all the water is put to good use.
Water Scheduling and Maintenance
An irrigation timer/controller will ensure that the sprinklers stop when the right amount of water is received. This will save you from buying water that runs off and is wasted without doing any good. Water can be conserved even more by adjusting the watering schedules according to seasonal changes to make sure that only the water that is needed is always delivered.
To remain efficient, each sprinkler system needs periodic inspection. Adjustments to misaligned sprinkler heads and rotors may sometimes be needed. They may become broken or clogged and need to be replaced.
