Benefits of an Automated Sprinkler System

Are you sick of moving the sprinkler around all day, every day? Are you tired of lugging your garden hose around and removing its kinks all the time? Are you over dry, bald spots, and overwatered, muddy patches? If you answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, then it’s time to consider installing an automated sprinkler system.

In this blog, the Bakersfield landscape supply experts at Kern Turf Supply will take a look at the benefits of having an automated sprinkler system to take care of your lawn and landscaping. While it costs some money up front to have one of these systems installed, the ease of use and environmental benefits will make the installation well worth the price!

An automated sprinkler system is convenient.

You’re headed on an amazing roadtrip down to Baja to see if you can catch some marlins on your boat and enjoy some quiet beaches—but how will you take care of your lawn at home while you’re away? You could pay a friend to move your sprinklers around eight or nine times a day for the entire week that you’re away—but we’d imagine that most friends will “have a thing at a place” during the time that you need help. Nobody wants to do their friend’s yard work for them. You could keep your sprinklers off all week and hope for the best—not exactly a great idea in sunny and toasty Bakersfield. You could even leave your hose on your lawn and turn on the water so it’s slowly flowing out of the hose—but you might just spike your water bill and flood your neighbor’s basement.

This is where automated sprinkler systems come in handy. Whether you’re stuck in the office all day or on vacation for a week, automated sprinkler systems allow you schedule when and where your sprinklers turn on, so you can keep your yard looking spectacular even when you’re not around to enjoy it. No more begging neighbors to move your sprinklers—with an automated system, you’re in full control.

An automated sprinkler system is eco-friendly.

We’re all human beings—we forget to turn off our sprinklers every once in awhile. While this might not have consequences for your lawn, but it definitely has consequences for the environment, especially when you consider the fact that your friends and neighbors forget to turn their sprinklers off, too.

California isn’t necessarily known for its water surplus at this point—it’s important to do your part and conserve water when you can. Automated sprinklers allow you to do just automatically shutting on and off so you only use the water you need. That can save hundreds of gallons of water per year!

An automated sprinkler system is cost-effective.

Saving water is great for the environment, but it’s also great for your wallet. Automated sprinkler systems can help you save hundreds of dollars per year on your water bill—which means your new automated sprinkler system will truly pay for itself.

An automated sprinkler system is aesthetically pleasing.

You’ve worked hard and spent a ton of money on your home’s curb appeal—do you really want to cramp your style by running sprinklers and hoses all over the place? Your yard will look much better with an automated sprinkler system—once your sprinklers are done watering, they’ll hide themselves like turtles hiding in their shells, and all you’ll see is your stunning landscaping.

Did we mention that scheduled watering from an automated system will make your lawn look better, too?

An automated sprinkler system takes watering off your plate.
