Understanding your Irrigation System & Zones
Updating your irrigation system is a crucial step in the lawn conversion process. Modern irrigation systems equipped with smart controllers, flow meters, and high-efficiency heads can save money and conserve water—even if you aren’t converting your lawn.
With today’s irrigation technology, you can accurately measure how much water your landscape needs each day and program your system to meet those requirements. For precise watering recommendations, visit your local CoAgMet weather station, which tracks evapotranspiration rates to help determine daily irrigation needs.
