Mastering the Art of Professional Irrigation: Tips and Tricks for a Lush and Healthy Landscape

What Are The Key Benefits Of A Professional Irrigation System? There are many benefits to having irrigation professionally installed and set up specifically for your garden’s needs. One benefit is providing your garden with enough water for each plant to thrive naturally and healthily while encouraging new growth. Another benefit would be the ability to sync the system up with a timer to save you time and water. Depending on the model, these timers can be installed on your phone or the irrigation system itself. How Can I Determine The Optimal Watering Schedule For My Landscape? As a rule of thumb, the best watering times are in the morning before the sun rises or in the evening when the sun goes down. This is so the grass, flowerbeds, and trees don’t get scorched by the heat of the sun and the reflection bouncing off the water. If you water daily, you don’t have to water for too long; this also depends on the type of plants you have on your property. What Are Some Common Mistakes To Avoid When Designing An Irrigation System? Poor water pressure is one mistake; this is simple to avoid. We prevent the sprinkler heads from getting too clogged by extra plant and lawn debris, allowing the water pressure to work without delay. However, by not keeping up with the maintenance of the irrigation system, it can begin to leak and break down, causing your landscape to flood and drown, making you start from square one again. How Can I Ensure That My Irrigation System Is Efficient And Conserves Water? Consistent maintenance is the key to having an efficient irrigation system. Conserving water is possible when the sprinkler system is synced up with a timer to ensure each flowerbed gets plenty of water without overwatering and causing irreversible damage. Our team here at Custom Acres is all about helping our community improve and enhance itself, and by starting with your property, we create a ripple effect and enhance one neighborhood at a time. What Types Of Irrigation Systems Are Best Suited For Different Types Of Landscapes? Drip irrigation systems are perfect for flowerbeds because they are less invasive and more out of sight, which is perfect for curb appeal, and you have your own secret weapon. Sprinkler systems are best for open lawns to get the grass and sod nice and hydrated, and we angle them just right to maximize the green of your lawn. Our team first considers the layout of your landscape and its specific requirements before designing your irrigation system to ensure we have built the correct model. If the right model is built, your plants could be getting the right amount of water and could drown or suffocate by not having the proper amount of nutrients required for their health. How To Prevent Common Mistakes With Irrigation Systems? Aging and worn pipes crack and split after time, even with proper care; that’s just the nature of pipes. Without proper and regular maintenance, the condition of the pipes will go unnoticed until the landscape and your home are flooded. By then, the damage is costly to reverse, and an entirely new irrigation system is required. What Advanced Features Or Technologies Can Improve My Irrigation System’s Performance? From timers to drip irrigation, irrigation technology constantly improves, and gardens are becoming more vibrant and healthy. You won’t have to worry about your plants drying out soon. Custom ensures our team creates the best irrigation system for your garden and promotes new growth every time your plants are watered. How Can I Winterize My Irrigation System To Protect It From Freezing Temperatures? The best part about Florida is that winterizing your irrigation system is unnecessary. If it’s already rainy, the irrigation system can be shut off or delayed for the next day. It just doesn’t get to freezing temperatures here, even if it might feel like it to us. With our team of experts, your property will receive the attention it deserves and needs all year round. What Are Some Best Practices For Maintaining And Servicing My Irrigation System? Custom Acres checks your water pressure to ensure your irrigation system works properly and provides enough water for all your plants. The angle of the sprinkler heads is essential for getting the perfect amount of water for hard-to-reach areas. In addition, our team adjusts each sprinkler head for maximum water exposure and to keep your garden green.
