A lush, green, perfectly manicured lawn is the ultimate goal of many homeowners. However, unless you are fortunate enough to live in an area which receives abundant rainfall each year (Seattle, anyone?), you'll probably need a little help with the "green" part. A lawn sprinkler system can ensure that your grass receives the proper amount of moisture throughout the year.

  1. Type of sprinkler system. The first decision that you'll need to make is what kind of lawn sprinkler system will work best for your yard. The most basic type, of course, is to take your sprinkler out to the middle of your lawn, hook it up to a hose and turn on the water. This type of watering system is very low-cost - some sprinklers cost as little as $15, but it is does require turning the water on and off manually and moving the sprinkler around the yard to guarantee that all areas receive moisture. It also wastes a large amount of water because it's not a very efficient system.

    If you want a more permanent solution, you'll need a permanent, in-ground lawn sprinkler system. There are two types of these - automatic and manual. Just as the name suggests, automatic lawn sprinkler systems are electronically controlled. They have a timer which can be programmed to turn the sprinkler off and on at certain times. Some automatic lawn sprinkler systems can even detect when your lawn needs to be watered, and when the moisture levels are adequate. Manual sprinkler systems are controlled by you. Just as with a portable sprinkler, you'll need to turn the water on and off when your yard is dry. It does eliminate the tedious step of moving the sprinkler around the yard, though. Manual lawn sprinkler systems are more reasonably-priced than automatic ones....
