There is a common misconception that keeping a well-hydrated yard and helping the environment conserve water do not coincide.

However, here at Georgetown Irrigation Specialists, we believe that having an eco-friendly sprinkler system is more than possible; it is doable. All you need are the right tools, a well-researched layout and plan, and if the job seems real tough, help from professionals. Here are some tips from experts to help get you started.

Use Local Plants in Your Yard

Having a wide array of plants in your garden does not have to be a collection of exotic, rare, or hybrid plants. Try to read on what kinds of flowers and shrubs can grow in your area, and you would be surprised at the selection.

The best thing about having native plants is that they are already attuned to your climate. As a result, if you’re a beginner at landscaping, maintaining them would be easier, with less risk of withering and less water and equipment involved. Do not let your vision get hindered by a limited knowledge of flora. Ask for professional advice in selecting the appropriate native plants and sprinkler systems for your ideal garden.

Have Your Plants Watered Early Morning

Proper scheduling of turning on your sprinkler system can go a long way. If you start to water your plants in mid-day, you are most likely releasing more than what is necessary and at the same time not all of your plants might get hydrated long enough. If you let them get soaked in the evening, they might be prone to diseases. Watering them at the perfect time of early morning can help them last longer without constant attention, especially during summer.

Invest in a Weather Sensor

If you’re eying a long-term irrigation and eventually growing your landscape to a picturesque view, then eventually, having a weather sensor might be advisable. Having sensors connected to your sprinkler system can help you allocate water properly during freezing temperatures, strong winds, and rain.
