Save Money, Time and Water With These Smart Sprinklers

Maintaining a lawn, especially a big one, is difficult. The impulse to constantly water is an understandable one, but it’s one that is neither good for the grass nor the environment. In fact, the majority of lawns need to be watered at most twice a week. Infrequent but thorough watering encourages the roots to grow deeper, and this makes for a healthier lawn. Also, watering in the morning is best. The water won’t evaporate as quickly in cooler temperatures, and a damp lawn will be better equipped to deal with direct sunlight as the day progresses. The evening is not an ideal time to water, however, because the lawn will stay wet for too long.

That may seem like a lot to remember, especially considering the million other things the average person has to remember. If you have flowerbeds or parts of the lawn that receive different amounts of sunlight, your grass will require even more care and attention. While you may have your entire house connected to a smart home system, you might not have considered managing your outdoor property the same way. Smart sprinkler controls, which connect through your phone, allow you to have a perfect lawn with minimal effort.
