Let’s face it, the best time to install a lawn sprinkler system is before your grass dies.
But if you’re looking for more specific time of year, we have some tips. A couple might surprise you.
When is the best time to install a sprinkler system?
Grab your calendar and let’s take a look.
Lots of people do. It sounds like a perfect plan — get that system in as soon as the ground thaws and it’ll be ready to roll for the heat of summer.
But good irrigation companies are crazy busy in the spring, getting lawn sprinkler systems up and running for thousands of their current customers.
It’ll be a challenge to get on their calendar for a new installation until after Memorial Day.
Depending on your situation, summer or fall can be the best time to install a sprinkler system.
Summer is an ideal time for installing a sprinkler system due to reduced scheduling conflicts after the busy spring season, allowing for more flexible installation dates.
The weather conditions are favorable for both installation and for the system's immediate use to support lawn health during the hotter months.
This timeframe allows for optimal conditions for the installation process, as the cooler temperatures of fall make it easier to work on the system without the risk of heat stress.
Plus, by completing the installation before the ground freezes, you ensure that your sprinkler system is ready to go as soon as the spring arrives, giving your lawn the early care it needs to thrive.
If you’re building a new home, that’s the best time to install a sprinkler system.
You’ll actually spend less money than having a system installed in existing landscaping.
Installing a lawn sprinkler system in dirt takes less time and labor than installing one in grass.
Installers don’t have to worry about digging up portions of lawn and replacing them after running the lines.
If you’re building a house, you’ll be planting grass. Growing grass is harder than you think.
Dragging your hoses and old school sprinklers around several times a day will get old fast.
You’ll be happy for that lawn sprinkler system to get your grass growing.
New homes are exciting — but real budget busters.
If your budget doesn’t allow for an irrigation system when you’re building your house, but you know one is in your future, work with your builder to prepare for it.
Increase your well pump size. Stub out the plumbing. That will make things easier when you’re ready to roll.
