Frequently asked questions
What affects irrigation cost?
Lawn size, number of zones, local labor rates, and any obstacles like rocks or hard soil. Adding a backflow preventer or smart controller raises cost.
Will it save money on water bills?
Yes, if installed properly and used with a smart controller, it can reduce water waste by targeting specific areas. However, initial cost takes years to recoup.
How can I lower installation cost?
Get multiple quotes, choose a simpler system, and consider DIY for small yards. Also, ask about rebates for water-efficient systems from local utilities.
