Save Water, Save Money

Those who manage or own commercial properties have a challenging task on their hands. They have to balance the needs of their current customers and tenants, with the ever-evolving desires of prospects. In doing so they need to keep their landscape maintained to keep the current clientele happy while adding enhancements to provoke interest from prospective clients. This leads to inevitably tough decisions, weighing the benefits versus the cost for any number of different enhancements. It is not often that there is a crossover between both of these goals that keeps everyone happy. However, one of them is irrigation. Greener grass attracts new business and keeps current customers loving the lush turf. You may even be surprised by how the installation of an irrigation system will both, save you water, and money.

What is Smart Irrigation?

To many people, the idea of an irrigation system just brings to mind a large sprinkler system that still must be manually operated. This could not be farther from the truth of modern irrigation systems. Nowadays, these systems rely on real-time weather data and automation to keep your hands off. This technology also optimizes the way water is distributed in both location and quantity. If you don’t have an automated system, or you have an outdated system, it may be time to upgrade your irrigation controllers to control how much water is sent to each zone.  Never before has irrigation been this efficient, and we will show you why this benefits you in these next few sections.

Save Money with Optimal Quantity

Although it might surprise you, commercial properties are notorious for overwatering. Many people think that an excess of water can do nothing but good, but this is not true. Too much moisture costs money but also sits on top of the soil without soaking in. This creates an environment where disease, pests, and weeds can fester. Additionally, coverage is generally not optimized when done in-house, and you lose dollars every day that pavement is hit by water intended for the turf. One way to conserve water is by upgrading the spray and rotor heads periodically to ensure they are clean and operating correctly. An irrigation system installed by Priority will be feeding only turf, and with the optimal amount of water based on weather data and monitoring to put money back in your pocket.

Healthier Turf from Automated Watering

Water is one of the essential nutrients that turf needs to survive. This means that one way or another you need to get an adequate amount of water into your soil. With an automated irrigation system, it will never be a to-do list item that you forget. In fact, you now get part of your day back not having to worry about irrigation at all. When your turf is receiving these constant nutrients, it will appreciate and return the favor by growing healthier than ever. The benefits of having the greenest grass on the block include improved curb appeal and an increase in property value.
