  1. Basics of Lawn Sprinkler System Design Designing and installing a lawn sprinkler system is not everyone's cup of tea. But it's your lawn sprinkler system that will keep the garden lush green when you are out of town or when you're too occupied to water it. Lawn sprinkler systems are meant to take care of watering the landscape so that you don't have to do it manually. Suppose you plan to install lawn sprinkler systems Westchester and the surrounding area. Then read this blog to understand the 5 basics Undoubtedly, it is essential to grasp fundamental physics, structure, and water dynamics. of lawn sprinkler system design. ● Sprinkler Types A lawn's landscape depends a lot on the type of sprinkler you use in the landscape. Mainly, there are two types of sprinklers: rotary sprinklers and spray nozzles. 1. A rotary sprinkler allows head rotation along a set arc to distribute the water. 2. The spray nozzle allows sprays to have an even distribution in a particular pattern. For example, 90-degree nozzles are for corners and 180-degree nozzles for a driveway.

  2. The types mentioned above of sprinklers are available in a pop-up format. And Pop-ups are perfect for lawns with areas with taller vegetation that are typically irrigated by a sprinkler mounted on a riser that elevates it just above the foliage, so the spray is not blocked. ● Measure the Lawn Size Determining the actual size of the lawn is the most critical aspect of lawn sprinkler system design. To do so, start by drawing a schematic map of the property that you wish to design. Hence, using the map to mark the piping route underground and install the valves and sprinklers. How to measure the lawn size? ● Get a tape measure to take the lawn's measurement. ● Start by measuring the building perimeter. ● Draw the property to scale and other items you wish to install on a piece of paper. ● Keep a check on water supply: Valves. Valves are the ones that control the water supply as well as the opening and closing of the pipe. These valves are located under the soil's surface and maintain a different irrigation zone. The component attached to the valves makes the sprinkler system function seamless. This is due to a sediment filter that keeps the sprinklers from getting clogged, a backflow prevention device, and reduces the water pressure for drip systems. The primary pipeline that connects the building's water system any suitable. It should be close to the water meter and downstream to minimize pressure drops caused by water usage in the building. ● Divide your lawn into hydro zones It is beneficial to divide your lawn into hydrazone while designing a sprinkler system. Landscape design entails positioning plants with water, soil, and sunlight. This reduces water use and protects plants from being under or water watered. Hydrozones include the following four variables: ● Hydrozones can be of any size and the house and the front yard, including the turf strips covering the front and backyard.

  3. ● Shadowed areas of property don't need much water compared to the part of the lawn care Westchester NY that gets full sun throughout the day. ● There are plants that require a lot of water, such as lawns, and native plants that don't need much water. The soil type determines what kind of sprinkler heads and rotors you need to ensure all plants get adequate water. ● Measure water flow and rate Having a pressure pump installed will help keep a check on varying pressure. You can also check the supply pressure you get at your home using a water pressure gauge. It is recommended to note down the reading of the outdoor hose where you have installed your lawn sprinkler. Suppose you've decided where to install the irrigation system in your water supply system. You can technically figure it out by gauging the pipe diameter at that point and employing pressure measurements. Also, you can measure flow rate, which is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). A well-planned design and a properly functioning lawn sprinkler system require much hard work and brainstorming. If you are planning to install a lawn sprinkler system in New York or anywhere in the bay area, then now is the perfect season as summer is just around the corner.
