Installing a sprinkler system does not necessarily mean that you need to dig up your yard or garden.
There are simple systems like a tripod sprinkler that with the correct sprinkler head will water your garden as good as any other system.
For the home lawn or garden, you do not need the industrial sprinklers which are more commonly used in farms.
Depending on the size of the area that needs watering your best bet would be a tripod sprinkler system.
Together with the right sprinkler head, this system works just as well as those used by professional farmer.
The system is planted firmly on the ground and the height is adjustable so it can handle the job at hand well.
Another type of sprinkler system is the Pop-up sprinkler.
This type of sprinkler is more costly and entails the digging of your garden during installation but it also has its advantages.
As the name suggest, this sprinkler system "pops-up" from the ground to water your lawn or garden and "pops-down" and away from sight when not in use.
The main advantage of this system is that there is no unsightly sprinkler jutting out from your lawn or garden.
There is no eye sore to ruin the view of your lawn or garden.
Both of these types of sprinkler systems can be connected to a timer which can then be set to turn on and off at a certain time of the day.
Regardless of the system you use, an important part of any sprinkler system are the lawn sprinkler heads that you will choose.
The sprinkler head determines how the water is distributed to make sure every inch of your lawn or garden get the right amount.
