Your business’s landscaping can make your property more welcoming to your clients and customers. But it needs routine watering if you’re going to keep it looking its best. While watering by hand is always an option, doing so may not be in your best interest. It takes time and doesn’t ensure that your plants get the water they need to thrive. Installing an irrigation system can streamline the process while offering a few unique advantages that can help your bottom line. Here are a few of the benefits you’ll see by installing an irrigation system. 

Helps Save Water
When you water by hand, a lot of that water just evaporates off without benefitting your plants. This means you’ll need to use more water just to properly hydrate your trees, grass, flowers, and other elements. Irrigation systems provide targeted water on a schedule that reduces the risk of evaporation. This means they use less water than you’ll use hand watering your plants. The less water you use, the lower your company’s water bill will be and the more money you’ll save each month!

Reduces Labor Costs
Hand-watering your plants takes time. Depending on the size of your property and the number of plants installed, it can take several hours each time. Each hour someone spends watering your plants is an hour you have to pay for. Irrigation systems work on their own, on a timer, and require minimal oversight and maintenance. Once they’re in place, you’ll end up saving on labor costs as the irrigation system will water the plants for you.

Makes Your Property More Attractive
Many modern business owners want buildings and landscaping that are low maintenance and have as many upkeep tasks as possible automated so they can focus on running their businesses. Installing an irrigation system can add value to your property, making it easier to attract tenants for open spaces in the building or to attract buyers should you ever need to sell the property in the future. Even better, the system adds value to the property, so you can get a higher sale price!

Reduces the Risk of Plant Disease
When watering by hand, it’s easy to over or under-water your plants. This puts them at serious risk of disease and mold overgrowth right at the roots. Once those roots mold or dry out, it’s possible that you’ll lose the plants entirely and will have to replace them with new starter plants. Irrigation systems work to provide just enough water to keep the plants healthy without encouraging mold growth or root rot. The healthier you can keep your plants, the longer they’ll last, and the less money you’ll have to spend on maintenance or replacements.
