Yes, it is watering.
There are many ways to water your lawn regularly, and the most commonly used equipment is the sprinkler. Sprinkler system is easy to install on your own, and less costly too. In this article, we will explain the steps to install your sprinkler system.
Planning:
To begin any project, there is a need to plan effectively that you will do and how you will do it. So, firstly measure your lawn area accurately by using a professional measuring tape or any tool. This formula can measure the area of your lawn:-
Length × width = Area of your lawn.After measuring the area, you must look for the target spots and mark them by pinning a stick to install the sprinklers. Always target the spots in the middle of the lawn to avoid water splashing on the roadside or over the people passing beside the lawn.
Water supply:
Once you have finished planning, here comes the water supply. Decide whether you want to get water from the main water-line, or the lawn spigot. It is recommended that you get water supply to your sprinklers from an already installed spigot to provide steady and consistent water pressure. You need to install an extra valve whichever method you use for the supply.
Digging
It is time to dig a trench to set up the sprinkler. Digging a trench till a specific depth is required, and the ideal depth is 7 to 8 inches into the soil. Always dig the soil for setting up the sprinkler in the slant position. By doing this, it will be much easier to fix the sprinkler firmly and fill backspace with the soil afterwards. The dug space/hole must be a little wider than the size of the valve manifold.
Digging can be done nicely with the help of a vibratory plough called a trenching device. The trenching device is most commonly available with the lawn owners. You can get it from any lawn equipment rental centre nearby. You can also dig manually using a digging tool, but it will take much time and effort.
