In the fall, everything in your yard turns from green to brilliant shades of red, yellow, orange—and then brown. When you’re preparing for winter, you’re probably not thinking about your sprinklers or watering your yard in general. But did you know fall is one of the best times of year for a lawn sprinkler system installation?
A well-maintained sprinkler system will reduce your utility bills, save water and run efficiently for years. Here are three reasons to consider a lawn sprinkler system installation now:
- Weather: In warmer climates, homeowners can install a sprinkler system at almost any time of year. Things are little different during New York’s cold winters—you don’t want to deal with sprinklers in the snow! Start now while the weather is still relatively warm, and the summer heat is no longer an issue.
- Soil Conditions: To properly install a sprinkler system, the ground shouldn’t be too wet or too dry. If the ground is frozen from winter snow or wet from spring rain, you risk damaging your landscape. In the cool weather of fall, your yard will be perfectly poised for a sprinkler installation.
- Get Started Early: Planning to do some new landscaping or plant a large garden next spring? You’ll need an efficient water source, and it’s best to install a new sprinkler system before you lay any sod or plant seeds. Prepare for next year’s warmer weather with a new lawn irrigation system. When spring arrives, you can start planting immediately and enjoy your lush new landscape before the summer heat rolls in!
