Vancouver's wet winters and comparatively dry summers make efficient irrigation useful for keeping lawns and gardens healthy without unnecessary water use.
Why Invest in an Irrigation System?
Modern irrigation can improve water efficiency, automate regular watering and provide more consistent watering for lawns and planting areas.
Types of Irrigation Systems
Sprinkler Systems
Sprinklers are commonly used for lawns and larger areas where even overhead coverage is appropriate.
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation applies water near plant roots and is well suited to many garden beds, shrubs and planted areas.
Smart Irrigation
Modern controllers can simplify scheduling and may use weather information or sensors to help adjust operation.
Choosing the Right System for a Vancouver Property
Consider the landscape, soil, plant material, sun exposure, pressure, available flow and the maintenance needs of the system. Different areas often need different watering methods or schedules.
Maintenance Matters
Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks, cleaning or replacing nozzles and filters, adjusting heads, reviewing controller programming and winterizing the system when appropriate.
