Is a Residential Sprinkler System Worth the Cost?

February 1, 2022 · Cherry · Leave a Comment

 

When many people first buy a home, they spend substantial time and often money on their landscaping. Even when it comes time for renovations or home improvement projects, landscaping is a popular choice.

Of course, getting your lawn looking just right is one thing. Keeping your lawn looking just right is a very different matter. There are all the normal adult distractions and things beyond your control, like the weather. Some homeowners get a residential sprinkler system to help them manage their lawn’s appearance.

If your lawn suffers from irregular lawn watering, you may wonder if a residential sprinkler system is worth it. Keep reading for key information that will help you decide.

Residential Sprinkler Cost?

The true cost of a sprinkler system for your home will vary based on a few factors. One of the biggest factors is the size of your lawn. A bigger lawn means a bigger and more expensive system.

If you go with an in-ground sprinkler system, some are automatic while others are manual. Automatic systems will typically cost a bit more.

For general reference purposes, the average cost for a residential sprinkler system runs around $2500.

Time Savings

One of the key benefits of a sprinkler system is that it saves you time. Even if you must turn your sprinklers on and off, it frees you from standing outside with a hose and watering your lawn. Even with smaller lawns, that saved time adds up over the course of a year.

With larger lawns, that can save your hours every week. If you already work on a busy schedule or work for yourself, that saved time can figuratively or literally make you money.

Efficiency

The reality is that every lawn is a little different, which means it has different water needs. Maintaining a healthy lawn that looks great means dialing in the right amount of water. It’s very difficult to judge that amount by eye while using a hose.

When you get an automatic sprinkler system, you can dial in the amount of water used so it keeps your lawn healthy without wasting water and driving up your bill.

Maintenance

You should go into getting a sprinkler system with a clear understanding that the system will require some maintenance. For example, you must take winterization steps for the colder months. The good news is that you can outsource that work to a lawn service, such as Holmes Lawn & Pest.

Is a Residential Sprinkler Worth It?

Unlike things like a new roof after storm damage, a residential sprinkler is something of a luxury for a homeowner. It’s not a necessity that your home can’t live without, just something that makes your life easier.

That means you must weigh whether you value your free time enough that it offsets the installation and maintenance costs. If you work for yourself or in a highly-demanding job, it may well prove a trade-off you’re happy to make.
