Irrigation companies provide a valuable service to homeowners and commercial property owners. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there has been a 1.3% growth in water supply and irrigation system industries every year for the last five years. This industry is growing because the demand for irrigation companies and their services continues to increase. Here are three reasons why you should partner with an irrigation company.

1. Saves Water

Property owners concerned about water waste find that irrigation systems are an ideal solution. Irrigation systems conserve water. An irrigation company installs an irrigation system strategically to ensure that water is not wasted and reaches its intended target. The system can be timed and outfitted with a “rain detector” to ensure water is not funneled into the landscape when it is not necessary.

Conserving water using an irrigation system is good for the environment, your wallet, as well as your landscaping, crops, and gardens. It's an easy way to stop wasting water. Water is a precious resource, so it's important to do your part to make a difference.

2. Saves Time

The labor hours involved with manually watering landscaping can be extensive. With an irrigation system, the entire process is automated. That means no one has to turn the water supply on or off, nor do they have to drag around watering devices.

An irrigation system can save a lot of time. The irrigation company can automate the system to deliver water to highly targeted areas. Irrigation companies also offer Wi-Fi-compatible systems, which can be monitored or controlled with a smartphone or a computer.

3. Prevents Erosion

Irrigation systems can help to reduce or entirely prevent erosion. Hand watering or using a moveable sprinkler system can use too much water pressure, which can disturb the soil and cause the soil to erode. This isn't good for the soil and the plants.

Soil erosion can damage roots and encourage plant disease. Irrigation systems can mean healthier plants with stronger root systems. You can experience less plant disease, fungal growth, and root damage with an irrigation system.
