Automate Your Sprinkler Scheme When You Upgrade Your Garden
There are many reasons why you may want to upgrade your garden landscaping. You may want to have a more water-efficient garden or add a hardscape. Whatever the reason, it is a good time to consider your sprinkler system. Landscape design in Las Vegas requires very careful watering, and some people prefer plants that require infrequent watering as well as decorative rocks to reduce energy consumption. This process can be made much easier with an automatic sprinkler system.
Five Reasons Your Sprinkler System Needs an Automatic Upgrade
• Consider the age of the system. Does it have old pipes and low water pressure?
• Does your system have leakage along the pipes?
• Does it need frequent repairs?
• Has your water bill increased for no apparent reason?
• Do some areas of your garden get too much or too little water?
The Latest Technology to Increase Efficiency
If you own a smartphone, you can take advantage of technology to maintain your garden. You can access an app that allows you to adjust your automatic sprinkler system and irrigation from anywhere. Some apps also include flow meters and other technology that checks for leaks in your system.
The smart controller will automatically adjust to the amount of water your garden needs according to the weather in Las Vegas. It accesses local weather data and applies it to the amount of water needed to keep the plants healthy.
The system will automatically:
- Turn off the sprinklers if it rains a certain amount.
- Decrease the irrigation by about 50 percent according to the amount of rain.
- Increase watering if the forecasted temperature is high with no rain.
- Stop watering if high winds are forecast.
If you are modifying your landscaping, it’s a good time to consider a new automatic sprinkler system. It will save you time and money, and you can have the confidence that whatever variety of plants you choose are receiving the right amount of water and the right time of day.
