Installing a new sprinkler system can be an excellent investment, but knowing exactly when to take the plunge isn’t always easy. Depending on the type of irrigation system you choose and what you hope to accomplish, certain times of year may be better for residential irrigation installation. Installing underground sprinkler systems, for example, may be a better project for fall or early spring because it can take a toll on your grass. If you’re not sure when to proceed with residential irrigation installation, read this blog and contact the experts at Sposato Irrigation!

Factors to Consider Ahead of Residential Irrigation Installation

When planning your residential irrigation installation project, there are many variables to consider. What kind of sprinkler system do you want to install? How healthy or established is your current landscape? Are you trying to get your property ready for a specific event? Discuss these questions and any other considerations that may apply to your project with your team of residential irrigation professionals.

Benefits of Waiting for the Right Time

While it may be tempting to install your new sprinkler system immediately, there may be some drawbacks to summertime irrigation installation. Irrigation service professionals are often busiest during the peak of summer, so you may not be able to get your project started as soon as you’d like. Many irrigation professionals also offer discounts for installation and service during off-peak months, so it may pay to wait. Now is also the time when your plants are doing their best to grow; if you’re trying to establish your lawn, installing an underground irrigation system during the summer can hinder those efforts. While you can certainly have a successful residential irrigation installation project during the summer, you may have better results if you wait until fall or early spring.

Fall is Ideal for Residential Irrigation Installation

Fortunately for homeowners in Delaware, fall is just around the corner. Autumn is one of the best times for residential irrigation installation because temperatures are still fairly mild (so no need to worry about digging into frozen ground), and plants are also starting to go dormant. Many irrigation professionals (and local licensing offices) experience a lull during this time, so the installation process is often faster and smoother. Another benefit of installing irrigation systems in the fall is that your landscape will have the hydration it needs come springtime to grow and fill out!
