Drip Irrigation vs. Sprinkler Systems 

As a garden sprinkler system installation company, we are here to help you choose the right system for your needs.

There are many types of watering systems. For instance, in some cases, drip irrigation makes more sense than a traditional sprinkler system with pop out sprinkler heads.

What is drip irrigation?

Drip irrigation is sometimes referred to as micro-irrigation, low-flow irrigation, or trickle irrigation. It is the low application of water directly to the plants’ root zone in a pre-set pattern.

In short, drip irrigation is the preferred sprinkler system installation choice for gardens and landscaping.

Why do we use it?

Drip irrigation is perfect for landscaping and areas of high cultivation. It helps the soil remain at an optimum moisture level at all times. It also results in less water lost to the sun and wind. No water is wasted on non-growth areas. The root zone is maintained at its ideal moisture level, combining the proper balance of water and air for a very efficient irrigation system. 

Drip irrigation requires less work from you than hand watering with your garden hose, and in the end, it’s more efficient, too. You will have fewer water pressure problems, waste less water, and see better results when you choose to invest in drip irrigation.

  • Drip irrigation allows for more targeted, water efficient irrigation systems for your garden. Rather than installing sprinkler heads that cover a wide area with water, drip irrigation slowly and steadily irrigates the soil right at your plant’s roots so they receive the maximum benefit. We recommend drip irrigation systems for smaller scale landscapes, like your back porch or front yard landscape beds, where you have particular plant life requiring varying levels of water.

  • Drip irrigation systems are perfect for more delicate plants that need precise watering. These specialized sprinklers are also frequently utilized in greenhouses, orchards, and wineries.

    Our residential customers also love installing them in their gardens or on their deck to create a green space.

    Essentially, the answer to this question is “any plant in which you need to be extra precise in terms of its watering.”

  • Drip Irrigation systems are typically cheaper than the traditional, in-ground sprinkler system. However, the answer to this question will vary on the usual factors that affect install cost.

    Additionally, drip irrigation installations can come in a variety of forms.

    For an accurate estimate, questions need to be answered like: Are you simply adding on to an existing sprinkler installation or are you starting from scratch, for example. Plus, every project will necessitate a different amount of zones.

    In general, though, we’d estimate that an average drip irrigation installation cost is around $3k (for someone adding a system from scratch), while a typical drip system add-on could be as little as $500.
