Keeping your plants hydrated, your yard green, and your garden healthy takes time and consistent effort. With temperatures rising consistently year after year the effort required to maintain a healthy home landscaping is more labor-intensive than ever. But not if you’re taking advantage of an automated home sprinkler system with smart sprinklers, wifi connectivity, and smartphone controls. Finally, modern technology has taken a stake in home and lawn care.
Benefits of a Wifi Connected Sprinkler System
Rockland County Home Sprinkler System Company
There are lots of ways to maintain your property’s outdoor aesthetics and decor. Let’s consider the lawn, trees, shrubs, and other plantings; we’ll leave out design updates like outdoor kitchens or patios for now; and what it takes to keep them green and healthy. Traditional home sprinkler systems came in two or three varieties:
- The homeowner is out there with a hose in their hand watering areas of their property.
- The homeowner uses a hose-connected individual sprinkler which must be manually moved around the property.
- The homeowner does a rain dance and hopes the rain gods are listening!
As you can see these are some pretty limited and not always successful options. You either get out there by hand or hope it rains! That isn’t a way to ensure your yard is healthy and green. Sure there are automated sprinkler systems from years past but they require additional rain sensors and more maintenance to maintain.
The Convenience of Lawn Care
The internet has proven incredibly useful in all aspects of our lives and so to does that apply to your home landscaping, if you can believe it. A smartphone-controlled system is full of benefits:
- Convenience and ease of use
- Turn sprinkler On/Off on the go
- Monitor your yard while away from home
- Focus water on certain problem areas
- Use water more efficiently (less waste and reduce water costs)
- Water at the smartest times (like night)
- Stay connected to your property
- Modern sprinkler rotors have dramatically improved efficiency
- and more
This is a whole new ball game for homeowners with a penchant for a good-looking yard. Green grass-obsessed parents can now keep an eye on things while on a road trip or at the office. No more going on vacation and taking bets on how burnt the grass will be when you get back home.
Not Just for Home Landscaping Either
Smart sprinklers aren’t just ideal for your home either. Businesses of all shapes and sizes are taking advantage of the cost savings provided by a new sprinkler system because it just makes sense. We have seen a high level of adoption for homeowners but also:
- Commercial retail locations
- School system/University fields and lawns
- Golf courses and athletic fields
- Gardens and Farms
- Rental properties & other housing
- and more
Installing a smart system with wifi control, flow meters, and soil + rain sensors offers a whole range of benefits in terms of cost savings through efficient energy and water consumption and a reduction in necessary labor costs and repairs.
Smart Sprinklers Make Smart Home Investments
When you break down the cost benefits of a smart sprinkler system and the incredible convenience they provide, it’s easy to overlook that they also add to your home’s property value. This isn’t just about keeping your lawn green, it is a true home improvement project that will make home maintenance easier and also add some value through investing in your property. Because new home construction is at a lower level than existing home sales (due to a whole slew of reasons including commodity costs and the exodus from metro areas due to the pandemic), people are looking for items that stick out. If you ever plan on selling your home and moving, an automated sprinkler system will increase your sale price.
