A well-designed irrigation system takes the guesswork out of watering your lawn and garden. While the Pacific Northwest is known for rainfall, our dry summers make supplemental watering essential for maintaining a healthy landscape.
The two main types of irrigation systems are spray heads and drip irrigation. Spray heads are ideal for lawns and open areas, covering large zones efficiently. Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots and is perfect for garden beds, shrubs, and trees — it reduces water waste by up to 50% compared to traditional sprinklers.
Zone design is critical to an efficient system. Different areas of your yard have different water needs. Lawns require more frequent watering than established shrubs, and sunny areas dry out faster than shaded zones. A properly zoned system ensures every plant gets exactly the right amount of water.
Smart controllers are a worthwhile upgrade that adjusts watering schedules based on local weather data. These devices can reduce water consumption by 20-50% and eliminate the need to manually adjust your timer throughout the season.
