Situations Where You May be Advised to Set Up an Irrigation System for Your Lawn

There are several situations where you may be advised to set up an irrigation system for your lawn. The objective in setting up such a system would, of course, be to supply the lawn (or rather, the grasses in the lawn) with water artificially. Naturally, the grasses are supposed to get the water they need from the atmosphere, in the form of rainfall. It follows then, that any alternative arrangement aimed at providing the grasses with water is ‘artificial’ and thus qualifies to be termed as ‘irrigation.’

Without further ado, we now proceed to look at some of the specific situations where, as a lawn owner (or lawn manager), you may be advised to set up an irrigation system for the lawn.

1. Where the amount of rainfall in a given growing season proves inadequate. In such circumstances, you have no alternative but to irrigate the grasses, if they are to end up looking lush. Being hardy plants, the grasses may still survive with the little rainwater available. But you can be sure that they won’t thrive (and thus give you the lush lawn you yearn for). For you to get the latter outcome, you need to supply them with extra water through irrigation.

Incidentally, there are folks who, having studied their local climatic conditions, set out knowing right from the outset that their lawn grasses would mainly be getting the water they need through irrigation. We have seen amazing lawns grown entirely using artificially supplied (irrigation) water. Alternatively, you may be in a place where the rainfall is usually adequate, but where in a given season, it proves inadequate – calling for supplementation by way of irrigation. The upshot here is quite simple: even if you are establishing a lawn in a place typically characterized by adequate rainfall, you should still have a contingency plan involving irrigation, in case the rains fail in the season you try setting up the lawn.

2. Where the rainfall in a given season turns out to be very poorly distributed. We often observe such seasons where rainfall is adequate, alright, but where it is not very well distributed. Most of the grass species grown in lawns don’t require a lot of water to do well. In fact, too much water can be ruinous to them. They do, however, require to be frequently supplied with water in modest amounts, if they are to do well. Poorly distributed rainfall can’t do so, and that may make artificial intervention, by way of irrigation, absolutely essential.

3. Where rainfall tapers off in the midst of a critical growing stage for your lawn grass. There are some grass species which are very sensitive, and whose final growth is likely to be severely affected if they are deprived of water during critical growth stages. If you have a lawn where you have planted such grasses, and rainfall tapers off when they are in the midst of a critical growing stage, you may have no alternative but to intervene artificially – by way of irrigation.
