Garden Watering Kent ? How to do Perfect Irrigation

Posted by CesarMuler on January 21st, 2016

Do you do your garden irrigation work correctly?  Although watering gardens may seem like a simple, straightforward task, the truth is that it is not. It can be a daunting task, explaining why you might need a garden watering Kent consultant. Landscape irrigation is much more difficult and requires professional help more than any other garden work.

When it comes to garden irrigation, there are two commonly used methods. One is watering by hand and the other one entails using a watering system.  When you call a garden or a landscape irrigation Hampshire service provider, they will mostly come with the watering system. They are in business and do not have time to waste. But this does not mean that they do shoddy jobs. It is just that watering with special machines simplifies work and saves time.

Hand watering is the most traditional method, though, and one either uses a garden hose or a watering can. When a spray nozzle is used, water usage is minimized unlike using a garden hose with an open end. A watering system is much more complicated and sophisticated than watering by hand. There are a number of options one could choose depending on the kind of watering task they want to do.

If irrigating the entire landscape, systems like oscillating sprinklers, rotating sprinklers, impact sprinklers, travelling sprinklers or pop-up sprinklers are just unavoidable. A garden watering Kent specialist will probably arrive with more advanced automatic irrigation machines, including micro Jet and Spray Systems, drip irrigation and mini sprinkler systems among others. If you are mostly looking to water your lawn, the session must be done thoroughly to keep the grass looking green and healthy.

For best results, the water should go through at least four inches into the soil during the warmer months of summer. Watering could be done daily while ensuring that water soaks up to about an inch. During cooler months you could aim for half an inch depth every day.  A movable sprinkler system that is placed above the ground or a pop-up sprinkler system is perfect for lawn irrigation.  The latter is installed under the soil and the only time that pop-up sprinklers are seen is when the system is activated.

The landscape irrigation Hampshire crew will set up computerized timers to ensure that your automatic pop-up sprinkler system is working perfectly. The travelling sprinkler is fun to use as it propels itself along a pre-set path and it can push itself for roughly sixty meters. Though it may offer an uneven sprinkle pattern, the travelling sprinkler saves a lot of time. The service provider may also use a rotating sprinkler with spinning arms that generate a ring of fine water droplets.

This system can be adjusted for extra fineness, however. An impact sprinkler generates a thin arc of very fine water drops and the jet spins as a set of pulses. Hence it splashes around a patch of turf, making it ideal for larger landscapes.  Drip irrigation is also another method that is perfectly applicable for garden irrigation. It saves time because water is passed through pipes that have holes or drip emitters that are carefully placed for each plant. It does not only save time but also reduces water bills.

It is really not very hard to hire a Landscape irrigation Hampshire professional when you need urgent assistance with gardening work. We can be called upon to water your landscape and provide garden watering Kent services to any individual or business.
