The best time to install a Lawn Irrigation in Wichita KS system is before the landscaping is installed. That allows the homeowner to decide where he wants to place the lawn, trees, shrubs, flower beds or possibly a vegetable garden. A representative from Rain Link Inc. can then design the appropriate system to ensure the proper water flow to the different areas of the yard. However, if the homeowner has just purchased the house with existing landscape, the company can use special equipment to install the system to minimize disruption to the landscape.
Spring and fall are the optimum times to install an irrigation system in Wichita KS. The soil should not be too wet or too cold. During the summer, hot and dry conditions can kill grass in areas disturbed by the installation. Once the homeowner approves the irrigation system design, it can be installed in one day. After that it will be easy to program the system to water at the best time of day. Usually, this is between midnight and dawn. The most common exception is watering newly seeded or sodded areas. They may require a midday watering to prevent the area from drying out during hot weather.
Lawn Irrigation in Wichita KS makes it easy to keep landscaping beautiful and lush. If the homeowner travels a lot, there is no need to hire someone to make sure that the lawn is watered. Some homeowners may wonder how much they should water their lawn. During the summer a lawn needs about one inch of water a week. If the weather is hotter than normal, then the homeowner will have to increase the amount. If the temperatures cool down less is needed.
Homeowners have to monitor their landscape and see how it’s responding to one inch per week. If plants look brown and the soil is very dry, then they will need to increase the watering schedule. However, boggy and spongy patches in the grass indicate that it’s getting too much water. After observing their lawn, it is easy for the homeowner to reprogram the irrigation system. Experts recommend that its better to water fewer times per week and for longer periods. This allows the water to sink deep into the soil, which encourages plants to grow deep roots. This makes them better able to withstand harsh weather conditions.
