DDM Irrigation | Sprinklers | North Liberty, IA

To improve the quality of your lawn, you need to have good watering practices. You might think you are taking care of your lawn, but in the real sense, you are destroying it. If you are watering the lawn manually, know the amount of water you need to keep the lawn moisturized and green. At the same time if you decide to buy sprinklers in North Liberty, know how to use it to avoid overwatering or under watering.

In most cases, most average lawns require just one inch per week to remain irrigated or watered. That is either through rainfall or irrigation via water sprinklers. However, that is not a standard rate since different lawns or plants require different amounts of water. You have to put into consideration the seasonal changes, the slope, the soil conditions, the sun and the location of the lawn before buying lawn sprinklers in North Liberty.

Here are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to use sprinklers in North Liberty.

The best lawns are produced when watering is done at intervals. Once you water the lawn, leave it for about fifteen minutes before watering it again.
It is best that you water your lawn in the morning hours so that it can have an entire day to dry. If you allow your lawn sprinklers to water the plants or grass during the day, most of the water will be wasted due to evaporation and the wind.
Make sure the sprinklers system installation is done properly such that the water can penetrate into the roots.
Before watering your lawn, make sure it is scorched to avoid making it so wet.
Normally, water sprinklers should take about ten minutes to water an average lawn. If you realize that it is taking longer than expected or it is watering too fast, it is time to call for sprinkler repair technicians.
Most sod grass can tolerate dry conditions over a considerable amount of time.

If you are not sure if your lawn is dry and in need of water, try looking at footprints. If the lawn has enough water, footprints will disappear within a short time, but if it is still in need of watering, then the footprints will remain visible.

Also, you can know by using a soil probe. You can use a large spike or a screwdriver to see if the lawn is dry. If the probe can penetrate the ground easily, then the lawn is still wet. But if you need to apply a lot of pressure to get the probe into the soil, then it is dry. Remember only water if the soil is dry.
