Working in the garden is a very popular past time in Australia, with millions of people around the country priding themselves on how green and lush their yard looks like. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same amount of time to spend on keeping their garden looking great, and if you find yourself busier than you would like, you might consider automating some parts of your garden care. Watering your garden is one task that is simple but takes a lot of time and effort. That is why you should consider an irrigation system to take care of your gardens needs on time, every time.

Choosing Your Sprinkler

The primary component of your backyard irrigation will be the use of sprinklers, but not every sprinkler is built the same. Sprinklers can be extremely high tech, to the point where you can program them to turn off and on at certain points in the day, or they can be relatively low tech and require you to open the tap that supplies water to them. Price is the determining factor here, but there is no real bad option as even the more budget-friendly sprinkler systems provide adequate coverage and irrigation of your property. 

Sprinkler Installation

After you decide on your sprinkler, you come to the most arduous task in this entire process: sprinkler installation. While this might seem daunting, all it takes is time and a bit of elbow grease and it can be done by all own your own. However, if you don't have the time or energy to do this, then you can always hire out some irrigation professionals. They will be able to strategically install your sprinklers so that they are at the perfect depth to not disturb the root system, do it quickly and efficiently, and ensure that no mistakes are made that might require you to have to adjust your system in the future. All in all, hiring out a company to do your sprinkler installation for you could be the smart thing to do, especially if you aren't very familiar with the system yourself. 

Usage

Once your sprinkler system is installed, you will struggle to remember how you ever managed without it. No longer do you need to spend hours each week ensuring each plant gets adequate water, now all it takes is a simple turn of a tap (if that!) and perhaps adding some mulch to problem areas every few weeks and that is it. A good irrigation system can also add a lot of value to your property, which can come in handy if you ever decide to sell your house down the track.
