It’s not every day we get to irrigate 21 floors above the ground. Interesting challenge concealing all the pipe work on this one. 😊

FAQ What is the Best Watering System for Lawns?

An automatic watering system with sprinklers is the best watering system for lawns as it provides a more even application of water, compared to hand watering or portable sprinklers, and ultimately uses less water. Depending on the size of your lawn depends on the sprinklers. The small rotators are ideal for small to medium lawn areas and the larger rotors are best suited for larger lawn areas and acreage properties.

Some automatic watering systems are still allowed during the Level 1 water restrictions.

FAQ How Much Water Does My Lawn Need in Autumn?

How much you need to water your lawn in Autumn really depends on the climate you live in. However, no matter where you live, how you care for your lawn in autumn greatly differs from how you look after it during the hot months. Most likely, your lawn will not need as much water in autumn as it would during spring or summer. In fact, watering your lawn too much in autumn can actually damage your lawn more than help it. If you feed your lawn too much water, you could saturate its root system and inevitably damage your lawn. Generally speaking, during autumn you will want to water your lawn 2-3 times a week (depending on rainfall).
