A lush, green lawn is the desire of most homeowners; after all, the lawn serves as the backdrop for your entire landscape. Keeping a lawn green and healthy requires regular watering, of course. There’s just one problem: maintaining a manual watering schedule can be a tedious task. Wrestling with hoses, battling with sprinklers, constantly moving the sprinkler around, and trying to figure out the perfect placement so that your entire lawn gets wet (which often involves getting yourself wet in the process) can be time-consuming and frustrating, to say the least. Fortunately, there’s a way that you can simplify the task of watering your lawn. How? Automate your lawn watering!
Automate Lawn Watering & Other Landscaping Tasks
Thanks to modern technology, automating lawn watering has never been easier. You can delegate this all-important job to technology, sit back, relax, and enjoy a beautiful, healthy, green lawn. Lawn watering isn’t the only landscaping chore that you can automate, however; there are several other tasks that you can use technology to take care of.
Are your interests piqued? Read on to find out how you can automate other landscaping tasks around your home as well.
Lawn Watering
Manually watering the lawn can be a time-consuming, stressful, and frustrating task. Needless to say, it can get pretty overwhelming, and sometimes, rather than dealing with it, you’re really tempted to just put off the watering altogether. Avoid the temptation – and the brown lawn – by automating the process.
For a hassle-free lawn watering experience, you can either opt to invest in a sprinkler system, or you can set one up yourself. While the former is certainly the most hassle-free out of these two options, it can also be expensive. If you have the funds, it’s a worthwhile investment, but if you don’t, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the benefits of an automated lawn watering system.
There are loads of tutorials online that will teach you how to set up a watering automation system. In short, setting up an automated watering system involves setting using a series of hoses and sprinklers, strategically placing them around your yard, and setting them on a timer. While this option might be a bit more involved, it’s more cost-effective, and it will make watering your lawn a hassle-free experience.

Plant Watering
Just like watering your lawn is important, if you want to keep your landscape looking great, properly watering your plants is a must. However, just like manually watering your lawn, manually watering your plants can be a big hassle.
Again, you’ll need to wrestle with hoses, as well as hoses and hand-held nozzles. Not only that, but you also need to figure out exactly when your plants need to be watered. Some varieties need daily watering, while others, such as drought-tolerant varieties (succulents, for example), can go long periods of time without water. In fact, for these types of plants, watering them too frequently can kill them.
What’s the solution? A smart irrigation system! These systems not only automate plant watering but also let you know when you need to water. They compile data related to the weather conditions – past, present, and forecasted – and will tell you when it’s time to water your plants. The best part is, you don’t have to be home to water them, because smart irrigation systems can be monitored and controlled via a smart device.
Lawn Mowing
Mowing your lawn regularly is a must if you want to keep your landscape looking neat and tidy. Who wants to mow the lawn in the middle of the summer heat? Thanks to modern technology, you can automate mowing your lawn, too!
