What should I consider when picking out a sprinkler?

Looking to step up your lawn watering game this summer? The summer comes with scattered rain here and there so it is always a good idea to look into getting a sprinkler system whether it be above or underground. As always there is a wide variety of systems on the market and it is best to do your research but also keep your lawn in mind!
A few things to consider when looking for the best sprinklers are; soil type, size of the area, the shape of the area, water usage, connection, and last but certainly not least budget. The size and shape of your lawn are very important because you want to make sure the water is being distributed thoroughly with the sprinter system. Lawns that are on the smaller side and not above 5,000 sq ft can get away with a fixed system, while a rotating or oscillating sprinkler would be best suited for a larger lawn for a wider and fuller coverage distribution of the water. Soil type should always be an important factor and will let you know how often you should be watering, sandy soil requires more water while clay soil can receive less water. Water connection and usage are the real starting point here. You want to be sure that your system has a strong metal connection to increase reliability and stay on top of leaks and clogs. When picking out a system check out your city or county water rules to see if there are any restrictions on usage that would require you to get a system that requires less water for conservation. Budget is the glue that binds everything together and solidifies your decision when picking out a sprinkler system. How much are you willing to invest? Are you looking to install a system underground? Will a budget-friendly system be the best thing for the long haul?
