What are the benefits?
    When an irrigation system is installed by a quality company, you will immediately see a change.  Your entire lawn and garden will turn and stay green and plush with the push of a few buttons.  No manual sprinkler can cover your lawn the way a system will.
    Besides appearance there are a few other benefits.  The first is that it will save you time.  The best time to water your lawn is just before sunrise.  Most people are still asleep before sunrise and definitely don't want to go outside and move a manual sprinkler around their yard four or five times before going to work.  Once the clock is set, the system will automatically come on and water your entire lawn before you even wake up.  When any type of watering is done during the day, most of the applied water evaporates in the hot summer sun and causes damage on leaves and flowers.  Aside from plant damage, you're wasting money by wasting so much water.
    Secondly, a system will improve lawn and plantlife quality.  When installed and fine-tuned correctly, and irrigation system will disperse the right amount of water to the right places.  You've seen it before: most people who water their lawns manually have patches of very green or very dead grass all over the place.  An irrigation system may seem slightly expensive at first, but the paybacks and benefits will pay it all off with years of a beautiful lawn.
