Maintaining a beautiful lawn can enhance the appearance of your landscape, increase the value of your home, and provide a comfortable yard where your children can play and your friends can socialize. However, many homeowners are choosing to use sod as the material for lawn development. If you want to cultivate a healthy and attractive lawn, you should learn about the many benefits associated with Denver sod services.

Reliability

A sodded lawn is comparatively more reliable than a seeded lawn. Sod turfs consist of grass that is already attached to soil layers, and the turfs can easily be rolled and installed onto your yard by local professionals. Installing sod lawns has many advantages over seed lawns. Seed lawns can render you susceptible to certain problems. For instance, the seeds might not take root, might be displaced by wind or animals, and might leave unhealthy bald patches in your yard. In contrast, sod is generally more reliable and conducive to consistent growth. The sod grass takes root effectively, the grass grows in each area successfully, and installing sod can allow you to rest assured that the grass in your lawn should take root and flourish with a lush and beautiful appearance. The ability for the sod grass to grow evenly in the various sections of your yard can prevent your yard from displaying bald, uneven, or unhealthy patches.

Speed

Denver sod services will allow your lawn to look beautiful in a very short amount of time. Seeds can take an exorbitant amount of time to take root, which can prevent you from being able to utilize the lawn for up to 3 months following the seeding process. However, sod takes root and grows very quickly. Your local landscaping experts can install sod, arrange a sprinkler system that is most conducive for your yard, and ensure that you can enjoy a full and healthy lawn within 1-2 weeks after installation. Additionally, the sod can take root and thrive during any time of the year, as long as water is available. This instant-lawn quality of sod can enable your family to sit, walk, and play on a luxuriant lawn of healthy grass almost immediately after installation.

Low-Maintenance

The sod turfs are also easy to maintain. Sod lawns do not require as much water as seeded lawns. Although sod is more expensive than seed lawns, sod lawns can be cost-effective in the long run because the lower water requirements can help you conserve water and reduce your bill. Sod can also effectively prevent weed problems from developing on your lawns. This is especially beneficial, for the sod can protect your plants from being damaged by weeds, preserve the healthy quality of the grass, and prevent you from needing to spend time and energy eradicating harmful weeds. Additionally, having landscaping professionals install sod can also reduce your maintenance requirements by quickly decreasing mud, dust, or erosion hazards.

Implementing effective sprinkler systems can improve the health of your plants, the beauty of your landscape, and the atmosphere of your home. However, understanding the top types of sprinkler systems can help you determine which system is most appropriate for your landscaping needs. If you want to cultivate a superior landscape, you should learn about the best Denver sprinkler installation service that lawn professionals can provide.

Rotor Sprinkler Systems

Premier Denver landscaping companies can install rotor sprinkler systems. A rotor sprinkler features a sprinkler body that is mounted on a platform, a swinging mechanism can strike the sprinkler, and this enables the sprinkler body to gradually spin and rotate while distributing water to your lawn. There are many advantages to rotor sprinkler systems. The rhythmic and balanced rotation allows the sprinklers to distribute water evenly to each section of your yard, generate uniform growth among the plants, and ensure that each section receives the optimal amount of water and nutrients required to flourish with exceptional health and to radiate with exquisite beauty.
The rotary nozzles can also maximize the water efficiency. Many experts avoid using traditional spray sprinklers because the spray heads tend to wastewater, increase your water bills, and damage the soil and plants in your yard. In contrast, rotary nozzles are significantly more efficient and effective than traditional spray heads. The timing systems and the spinning motions enable each rotor sprinkler to irrigate a substantial amount of territory and to refrain from overwatering any particular area. As a result, rotors can help you conserve water, lower your bills, and enjoy an even and lush landscape.

Pop-Up Sprinkler Systems

You can also utilize pop-up rotor sprinklers for your Denver sprinkler system. Pop-up sprinklers are buried in the ground and connected to springs that can elevate the heads above ground when watering the plants and retract the heads back into the ground while the sprinklers are dormant. The diversity of styles from which you can choose is especially beneficial. For instance, pop-up rotary nozzles can fulfill many different timing and distribution patterns so you can determine which particular patterns would be most conducive for your yard. The pop-up sprinklers are especially appropriate for small areas and gardens, as the sprinklers can quickly and accurately distribute water to each plant in the area. Additionally, the ability for pop-up sprinklers to remain in the ground while dormant increases the safety of your yard and enhances the pristine beauty of your lawn.  

Drip Irrigation System

The top Denver landscaping companies can also install a drip irrigation system. Drip irrigation systems utilize plastic tubes, the tubes feature tiny emitter holes, and water can slowly drip through the holes and drop down onto the soil. This is an effective method for watering trees and shrubs. The water can drip directly onto the base of the plants, soak deep into the soil, and ensure that water and nutrients can reach the roots of the plants. This is also beneficial for trees and shrubs because the drip irrigation systems can prevent infestations. Allowing tree leaves to be drenched with excessive amounts of water can attract pests, facilitate diseases, and impair the health of your yard. As a result, drip irrigation systems can repel disease or pest infestations by refraining from watering the leaves on your trees and shrubs.

Although you won’t have to use your Denver sprinklers as frequently now that the snow has (finally) arrived, there’s no better time than the present to make sure everything is in order with your system. It is best to get a leg up on things before sprinkler season is in full swing once again. Here’s what to look out for when performing routine maintenance on your irrigation system this winter:

Take A Closer Look at Your Sprinkler Heads

The first step in the sprinkler maintenance process is checking the condition of your sprinkler heads. Heads can easily be damaged by kids playing in the yard or someone being careless with a lawn mower, so take a close look at each of yours to ensure there are no cracks or missing pieces. If you do have damaged sprinkler heads, you will need to order replacements, so contact Water Solutions to have a professional assess your needs.

Check For Clogs

Clogs are one of the most common problems with sprinkler systems, so checking for them is an absolute necessity. Sprinkler heads can become clogged from grass clippings or debris that may have been stirred up during a summer or fall thunderstorm. How can you spot a clog? A sprinkler blowout is necessary to make sure your pipes remain clear and do not freeze over the colder months. During your service, if it seems like the water flow is interrupted, uneven, or blocked, you most likely have a clog in the sprinkler head - your local Denver sprinkler service can determine whether this exists during maintenance. Usually, your sprinkler service will be able to deliver the appropriate advice and will have to do a more thorough cleaning by removing the head and soaking it in clean water for a few minutes.

Evaluate Your Layout

The colder months while your system is turned off is a great time to assess the current setup and determine whether you have the best layout and coverage by your sprinkler system. Ideally, sprinklers will be setup so every inch of your yard is being sprayed with water by at least one sprinkler head. Multiple heads should never spray the same area, and there shouldn’t be patches of grass that are left dry after the sprinklers have been turned on. A professional will be able to gauge the effectiveness of your layout and decide whether any major changes should be implemented for the spring, and get that scheduled out.

Lower the Heads

Take a walk through your lawn to ensure the sprinkler heads are placed low enough into the ground to avoid being hit or damaged. The ideal position would put the top of the sprinkler head about a half an inch above the ground level. This protects sprinkler heads from damage while also keeping them away from dirt that could cause clogs. Read more about the benefits of an automatic lawn sprinkler system in Denver.

Whether you want to go solar, colorful, bright, or classic, there are a lot of different lighting options to consider. Here are a few tips for choosing the best lighting for your space:

1. If you spend a lot of time outdoors and like a more rugged feel, a firepit is the perfect solution to some of your lighting problems.

Plus, fun can be had for the whole family - s’mores anyone?
2. If you have a statue or a fountain in your yard that you would like to accentuate, consider some LED lights. You can get color changing lights that shift through a color scheme or stay fixed on the color of your choice, or you can get a clear light to simply illuminate that pride and joy.
3. If you have a path to and from your door, consider getting some path lights put in. They are excellent for preventing trips and falls, and can be colorful or a simple white or yellow light.
4. Motion sensor lights are a great way to make it easy to get from your car to your house, and they are a good security measure if safety is a big concern of yours. They can be placed where you park your car, at backyard entrances, over pools, or anywhere else where you need great visibility when you’re moving around.
5. If you have stairs or railings, consider step lights and railing lights. These double as being a nice way to feature your architecture and being a great safety measure. Avoid falling over stairs or bumping into railings with these great additions.
6. If you have a pool, having lights inside your pool is a great way to make sure you can still swim at night, which is ideal for summer. You can also add lights to your hot tub, because we all know getting in the hot tub at night is the best way to relax!
7. Many of the different lighting options can also be bought in solar. Solar lights are an excellent way to save on your energy costs and reduce that electric bill.

When you have a beautiful lawn, it says a lot about your home, your family, and the type of investment you are making in your neighborhood - a well kept lawn shows you care. To keep your lawn maintained it is best to use an automatic sprinkler system. An automatic sprinkler system has many benefits, much more than just maintaining the lawn and keeping it green. A fully automated sprinkler system could save you time - individuals who water with a hose can often miss crucial watering times or waste valuable time for themselves. Additionally, with a sprinkler system, you might be able to conserve more water, but that will also depend on the size of the lawn. An automatic sprinkler system for the lawn means that you can get more done in less time and your neighbors and onlookers will come to appreciate the value it offers to the neighborhood.

The Installation

If your home is newly constructed, then you also should be looking at your lawn and landscape. A professional landscaper will be able to install a sprinkler system so you can begin the journey of creating a beautiful environment. Even if you have already planted your trees and a garden, feel free to contact your local landscaping service for assistance with the installation of your sprinkler system, which most likely was put in place before the sod was laid. Install your sprinkler system before the winter weather hits - don’t wait until spring, when Denver sprinkler services are in high demand.

Existing Property

If you are trying to installing a sprinkler system to an existing property, this will involve some digging. However, a professional installer will have other methods to minimize any grass disturbance such as creating narrow furrows in the area where pipes may be buried. It will usually take roughly a month for plowed grass to heal and for your yard to look as full again.

The Design

The sprinkler is a simulation of rainfall and again, it prevents the use of a hose. For a sprinkler design to be effective, it has to include a specific type of spray head for the right water pressure. If you have a big yard, you may have to consider choosing from a wide variety of zones and spray heads. If the topography of your lawn is diverse, then you may need to think about choosing different types of sprinkler heads, even with one sprinkler system. The installer will consider the spray radius and also your water coverage. This allows for all areas of the lawn to be watered.

The Sprinkler Heads

The newer sprinkler heads are not obtrusive and they are usually not visible to anyone unless the lawn is being watered. It is only when they automatically turn on do they actually come above ground level. There are several types that you might want to consider:

• Misters – distributes water in 360 degree spray on medium sized lawns
• Arc Spray – Flow of water is controlled and comes out in an arc-like direction
• Rotary – driven by gears, covers wide areas, and sprays in a single stream
• Bubblers and Drip Lines – watering takes place close to the home’s foundation
• Impact – this produces low water pressure and won’t clog easily, but observable above ground

Your grass needs the right amount of moisture to remain green and healthy. Automatic sprinkler systems take the speculation out of watering the lawn. You will save time, money, and effort in the long run. Do you want to have an automatic sprinkler system installed on your property?
