Investing in a sprinkler system is one of the easiest ways to keep your lawn, garden, or landscaping healthy and vibrant. Unlike hand watering, sprinklers deliver consistent, even coverage that helps prevent overwatering or dry spots. With a modern sprinkler system, you can even automate your watering schedule and manage zones with just a tap of a button.

Rotor sprinkler systems use rotating sprinkler heads to distribute water in a wide, sweeping motion. Unlike fixed spray heads that cover smaller areas with a constant fan of water, rotors move and water more slowly and evenly over larger distances. Here are some of the advantages of a rotor sprinkler:

We recommend having one sprinkler head for every 8 to 15 feet of coverage, depending on the spray radius of the lawn sprinklers you’re working with. Factors to consider are lawn size, water pressure, sprinkler coverage, plant types, and local climate. For some irrigation systems, it may be best to divide areas into zones based on plant type and sprinkler type.
Spacing between sprinklers is crucial to ensure uniform water distribution and avoid overwatering or underwatering. The most important factor to consider when adjusting rotor spacing is to determine the watering range and pressure of each water sprinkler head, then aim for head-to-head coverage. Rotor sprinklers, for example, can water plants that are 20 feet away or more, while drip emitters need to be placed near each plant.
To determine how many sprinkler zones are required to keep your yard at peak fitness, first divide your yard into zones based on water needs. Lawns may be in one zone, while flower beds or shrubs are in another, allowing for targeted watering based on the specific requirements of each zone.
Yes, if you’re working on a small to medium-sized yard and are comfortable with basic irrigation tools, you should be able to set up your sprinkler system on your own. However, it does require time, effort, and attention to detail. Installing a sprinkler system typically involves planning your layout, digging trenches, installing the sprinklers and pipes, and then connecting everything to a water supply. Installing your own sprinkler system is a great idea for smaller properties or drip irrigation systems.
Over time, some components may need replacement or repair, but a well-maintained sprinkler system typically lasts for up to 20 years. To extend the life of your sprinkler system, be sure to inspect heads and valves seasonally for damage or leaks. In climates with cold winters, also remember to winterize the system before freezing temperatures come.
The amount of time that you should run your sprinkler will depend on your sprinkler and your plants. In general, you’ll want to run your sprinklers for 15 to 30 minutes per zone, 2 to 3 times per week, to apply about an inch of water each week. You should also consider the weather when deciding how long to water. Hot and dry conditions call for more water, while rainy weather may not require any watering.
