After taking care of some other financial obligations, the homeowner decides that the time has come to install an in-ground sprinkler system in Maui. The question is what type of system would provide the best service and support. Here are some tips that will aid in making the right choices.
Adequately Covering the Yard
One of the first points to ponder with any sprinkler system in Maui is the number of sprinkler heads to include. This will mean allowing for the amount of square footage that each of the heads will cover. The right amount of coverage will mean that no area of the yard gets soaked with water, and there are no sections of the lawn that do not receive an adequate supply during dry weather conditions.
Deployment of the Sprinkler Heads
With an in-ground system, the design of the heads matters. When retracted, they need to be so low that there is no chance of damaging one with a lawn mower. At the same time, they need to deploy quickly and be relatively easy to keep clean. It helps to see a live demonstration of a system before actually making any type of purchase.
System Features and Controls
The whole idea of having a sprinkler system is to ensure the yard can be watered when and as needed. During certain times of the year, it pays to have a system that can be programmed to activate at a specific time, and then shut off according to a set schedule. Along with being able to program the system using some type of keypad at home, it never hurts to consider models that include remote features for activation and programming. This will mean if the sprinkler system is programmed to activate in the late afternoon and a rainstorm passes through, the homeowner can use the remote access to disable the system from work.
For homeowners who are thinking about the installation of system, it pays to work with a landscaping professional. Doing so will make it easier to settle on features and the placement of the sprinkler heads. In addition, the professional will know how to test the new system before and after the sod and other elements of the landscape are moved back into position.
