How many of us would like to spend less time doing work in the yard and more time enjoying activities we really love? Unless you love yard work or have a green thumb, good chance there are days you'd rather forget about your responsibilities outside.

Even those of us who absolutely love working in our yard don't always have time to give it the attention it needs. And the busier our lives get, the less time we have to keep it in tip top shape.

By investing in a sprinkler system, more than half of your yard work can be eliminated by simply setting the system's control panel and walking away. All that is left for homeowners to do is cut the grass and pull weeds, which on average takes around 20-60 minutes each. Think of the time you'll save on your lawn maintenance.

An underground sprinkler system not only saves you valuable time in the yard, but it's great at conserving water as well. With the automatic system, homeowners don't have to worry about forgetting the system on or failing to remember to move it after the grass has had an adequate amount of water.

The most sought-after feature on each irrigation system is the automatic settings, which essentially gives the homeowner the option of when they would like to water their grass and for how long. Then the system turns itself off after completing a full zone cycle, which is great for those who tend to forget the sprinkler on. This feature is set through the main control panel, which is the brain of the entire operation. It knows which zones get how much water, how long each section is watered for and what time the system turns on and then off again.

If installed correctly, a sprinkler system maximizes water efficiency by only watering the vegetation in your yard, avoiding driveways, sidewalks and parked cars. One of the biggest complaints about a manual sprinkler is that more often than not, no matter where it is positioned, there is a lot of water waste. This problem is virtually eliminated when the sprinkler heads are aligned properly.

Other features lawn maintenance Calgary sprinklers provide is a drip system and rain sensor. Both these components are also great at conserving water.

Although it takes a little work on the homeowner's behalf, lawn care in Calgary doesn't have to be as stressful and time consuming as it once was. After researching the market, we've found some great sprinkler experts and are more than willing to share our findings with you.
