Is Lawn Irrigation Worth It? Exploring the Benefits and Costs

Mar 27, 2024

Ever dreamt of a lawn so lush that you almost want to roll around on it all day? You're not alone! The road to that dreamy green oasis might bring you face to face with the big question: to irrigate or not to irrigate? With AquaQuest Irrigation by your side, we'll navigate the waters of efficiency and beauty together, discussing the many benefits of lawn irrigation systems.

The Mechanics and Types of Lawn Irrigation Systems

Overview of Lawn Irrigation Systems: Imagine an irrigation system that ensures your lawn and flower beds receive just the right amount of water. Whether you prefer the rain-like sprinkler systems or the gentle root-zone nurturing of drip irrigation, we have the right irrigation system for you.


Sprinkler Systems: Sprinklers, the life of the garden party, bring fun and coverage to every corner of your lawn. Perfect for grass that loves a good shower and diverse gardens. They're like your friendly neighborhood water bearers, ensuring no lawn goes thirsty. They come in all shapes and sizes from underground systems, drip systems, and more. Just remember, they can water a bit too much sometimes, especially when not watched closely. So utilizing an irrigation timer or controller is always recommended.

Diving into the Value of Lawn Irrigation

Can sprinklers make your home sparkle more? Absolutely! Lawns are like green carpets that welcome guests into your home. Showing love and care for your space goes beyond good looks. In addition to adding value to your home, AquaQuest's magic touch will make your lawn the talk of the town.

Efficiency and Water Conservation: Best Friends Forever

Winterizing irrigation systems is all about ensuring longevity, and for automatic systems, a paramount part of that process includes shutting down the controller (or timer) for the season. Be mindful that if you disconnect power to the controller entirely, you’ll have to reset the time and likely any other features you’ve personalized. However, activating the “rain mode” option simply serves as a substantial “snooze” for your valves while still protecting your preferred timers and other settings you’ve already programmed. As an extra provision to prevent a pump from kicking on mid-winter, which could harm your system, it’s a good idea to remove any wires routed to the Master Valve, just as an added cushion of armor.


Costs and Savings: Making the first jump for a new irrigation system feels like quite a financial leap. You’re investing time and money in the quest for a beautiful lawn with easy upkeep. Over time, however, you’ll see the savings in water bills, maintenance costs, and more green joy. 

ROI: It's Not Just About the Green

The return on investment (ROI) for a lawn irrigation system extends beyond just the visual appeal of a greener lawn. Such an investment can also lead to significant savings in time and money spent on lawn care, contributing to an overall increase in property value.

The Proof Comes from Our Customers

"I cannot begin to express how satisfied we are with the work performed by Devin, Steven and the team. They are upstanding professionals. They do exactly what they promise and more. Our system lacked pressure due to the many homes built in our area over the past few years and also had a few to many heads per zone. Devin reworked the entire system and was able to eliminate several heads. They upgraded us to much more water-efficient and easy to adjust K-rain heads throughout and switched out all of the rotors. Then came the game changer: they installed a top-quality Flint and Walling pump to maintain constant pressure whenever the system was on. Lastly, they added check valves to some lower heads to save water that usually drained onto the sidewalks after that zone finished running. They also did a great job rolling back sod and taking care to minimize turf damage. The system now works amazingly! All heads have overlapping sprays. So I say again, we couldn’t be more pleased with this group of professionals. 10 stars! Thank you!"
