When it comes to watering lawns and gardens, there are several options. The simplest method is to hand-hold a hose with a spray nozzle or connect a hose to a lawn sprinkler that you move from spot to spot. But this can be a hassle because it requires your presence—if you don’t perform on schedule, your lawn and gardens turn brown.
A far more low-maintenance, dependable, less expensive, and hassle-free option is to use an automatic sprinkler irrigation system. Installing lawn sprinklers is a suprisingly easy DIY project, is relatively affordable, and offers huge payoffs in convenience and your water bill.
