There are many choices of irrigation and sprinkler systems from which to choose. The important question is to ask yourself what your needs and plants’ needs are. Is your current water situation working, or does it need to be updated?
Water is Life!
Your garden can’t thrive without water; that’s a fact. Too much water floods your plants and ruins your landscape and your home. Too little water and your garden starts to wilt- so where is the happy medium? 
Irrigation systems have different types of designs, whereas sprinklers have different styles. Sprinklers water your garden slowly and evenly, but over time your lawn can start to puddle. An irrigation system is more controlled than rainfall but requires more attention.
Automatic or Manuel
Manuel irrigation can take up more of your time and is easy to overwater. Automatic timers help control the amount of time you are watering your garden. Custom Acres can install timers to your irrigation system if they fit your needs better.
Choosing between automatic or manual irrigation systems and sprinklers depends on preference. How is your garden reacting to its current watering status? An irrigation change might need to be considered to improve the quality of your plants.
The most important aspect to keep in mind is the goal is to have your flower beds watered efficiently. It is to reduce the chances of erosive runoff and erosion occurring. Depending on your chosen irrigation system, it will need to be upgraded or installed.
Dirt, Dirt, and More Dirt
Soil has nutrients that root systems intake through water and sunshine, otherwise known as photosynthesis. Irrigate your garden properly, and your soil won’t wash away- reducing erosion. Drip irrigation helps by dripping water onto the base of the plants going directly to the root system. The amount of water is controlled by how big the holes are in the tubing. Just remember to have Custom Acres maintain the functionality of the system.
Irrigation systems don’t require to be timed or reminded to be shut off like some sprinkler systems. As long as the tubing isn’t damaged by lawn care or weather, it should last a long time.
Sprinklers can reach a large area of your garden, keeping each section nice and green. Some sprinkler systems can be moved and rearranged to reach different garden parts throughout the day. Other systems can pop up and water the lawn at specific times throughout the day- depending on where they are located.

Design Your Irrigation System
Irrigation systems can require more maintenance than sprinkler systems. However, drip irrigation systems are the easiest to control water. The drips drop directly to the base of your plants, keeping them well hydrated.
Grading is not required like it is with sprinkler systems. The shape of your landscape only determines the shape of your irrigation system. Sprinkler heads can get clogged, though, and require cleaning to get them working again.
Be Mindful While Mowing!
One pro for sprinkler systems that hook up to your home through a hose is the can be moved out of the way, reducing the need for repairs. Sprinkler systems that retract into the ground can be closed, and mowers go right over them. A con is remembering to move the sprinklers out of harm’s way.
With irrigation systems that use tubes and a whole design, it can be difficult to move out of the mower’s path. A pro is most irrigation systems are big enough to be seen and avoided because they follow the lawn’s shape. Custom Acres recognize what sprinkler and irrigation systems look like and avoid them when on the mower.
