(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 31, 2013 ) Orlando, FL -- While green lawns are pretty look at, they don’t do much for the environment. Trees and shrubs help remove pollutants out of the air and keep dust away from the house, as well as providing privacy and improving property value.
One eco-friendly investment that helps save time and money is an irrigation system. If you consider it, opt for a licensed contractor with an established reputation for an installation. They can help ensure there are no do-it-yourself problems, such as issues with water pressure and uneven sprinklers.
While they aren’t cheap, irrigation systems won’t necessarily break the bank either. The base price for a system is about $2,200, according Adam Pizzi, owner of APZ Enterprises in Carver, Massachusetts. That price includes timers, wiring, installation and all in-ground components.
Some irrigation customers purchase a highly efficient drip irrigation system for their flower beds. This is optimal over regular sprinklers, as some perennial plants can grow mold on their leaves if they are sprayed with water. Others may opt for a system that uses sensors to measure moisture in the soil. These sensors save households more than 11,000 gallons a year in water, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
If homeowners already have a system, the EPA urges them to make sure it is properly maintained and to always consider system upgrades to optimize the investment.
