You may have a plush green lawn with beautiful plants and balanced landscaping. A big part of maintaining your lawn and plants is ensuring that they have ample water supply. You can achieve that with underground sprinkler systems or inground sprinkler systems.

You will find that underground sprinkler systems, such as the rainbird sprinkler system, help you eliminate the need for hand watering; underground sprinkler systems can water your entire yard automatically. The convenience of lawn irrigation systems, like rainbird irrigation systems, is coupled with the aesthetic benefit of its underground location. You don’t see any hoses, and sprinkler heads can retract, becoming almost invisible when not in use.

Lawn sprinkler systems are water efficient. Your system comes with an automatic controller to schedule operation at times when water loss due to evaporation and wind is least likely to occur. The controller also eliminates over- and under-watering due to human forgetfulness. You typically organize your underground sprinkler systems into zones and locate plants with common watering needs near each other, conserving water and creating a healthier garden.

The requirements for modern underground sprinkler systems are elementary:
• A fresh water supply (well or municipal) with adequate pressure and flow rate. (It is best if the water is free of sediment and harsh chemicals);
• Electric power to operate a programmable controller;
• Building permits, when required.

Your rainbird sprinkler system is most conveniently installed after you have graded the lawn and big plants such as trees and large shrubs are already in the ground. At this point, you can dig the narrow trenches required for underground piping, and you can set the sprinkler heads in the ground at their finished height.

You will find it relatively simple to install underground sprinkler systems because modern trenching equipment causes minimal damage to existing lawns or beds.
