When it comes to lawn care and watering, there are a few different types of sprinkler systems to choose from, but which one is right for your lawn? That will depend largely on your needs, the local weather, and various other factors. Let's take a look at three common systems that you may benefit from.

Traditional In-Ground Sprinklers

Many people now opt for in-ground sprinklers. These systems are a great option if you want a mostly hands-off experience because once the sprinkler system is set up, it'll largely operate on its own. You may have to turn it off and on as the seasons change, or make small adjustments to provide extra water during a dry spell, but beyond that, the sprinklers will handle most of the work.



These in-ground sprinklers often use rotor heads and can disperse a lot of water. Indeed, according to the Utah Department of Natural Resources, rotor head sprinklers will need to operate somewhere between 30 and 75 minutes to distribute 0.5" of water on a lawn. These sprinkler systems are an investment, but they offer exceptional value, all things considered.

Drip Irrigation Systems

One more type of sprinkler is a drip-line irrigation system. These use a perforated hose to allow water to drip out and water plants. In our experience, these sprinklers are best used for flower beds, greenhouses, and similar setups as most of the water goes directly to the plant.
