Above-Ground Versus Underground Sprinklers  

Why Install a Sprinkler System?    

Using a sprinkler system instead of a hose to water your plants is much more environmentally friendly. It can be scheduled to operate at the ideal time of day and offers more uniform coverage. Some systems include a rain sensor and a seasonal adjustment program to determine how much water is necessary to grow a healthy lawn.  

Above-Ground Sprinklers  

Pros:  

• They are easily movable, so your watering plan doesn't have to be rigid.  
• You can easily install this yourself.  

Cons:  

• Every time you water, you must either remove and store the hose or deal with a garden hose that may be unsightly running through your lawn.  
• Utilizing tubing will lessen this, but you will still be able to see some hardware.  

Cost  

The only expenses are the sprinkler heads and possibly a garden hose or Poly tubing. Depending on the head type, you will spend between $3 and $18 per unit.  

In-Ground Sprinklers  

Pros:  

• They are especially beneficial for pets and children because there is a significantly reduced risk of accidentally tripping over a sprinkler head and getting hurt.  
• Additionally, you are spared the hassle of storing a hose after watering.  

Cons:  

• They cost a lot to install.  
• They are challenging to take out.  

• That doesn't mean they aren't worthwhile; make sure you intend to stay long enough to get a good return on your investment.  

Cost  

In-ground sprinklers installed by professionals range in price depending on the space that needs to be covered. These might be your best option if your property has a lot of corners, hardscaping, or areas with different water requirements (like a lawn and a vegetable garden).
