A medida que las largas y calurosas noches de verano se transforman lentamente en frescas tardes de otoño, la mayoría de los propietarios se alegran de saber que sus días de calor abrasador al sol han terminado (en cierto modo). Claro que aún es necesario dedicarle un poco de jardinería otoñal para asegurar que sus árboles, césped y plantas resistan el invierno, pero las cosas se vuelven más fáciles.
Pensando en instalación de un sistema de riego? Fall is actually the best time to do so. Not only is your lawn at an ideal temperature for this type of installation, but it’ll also give you time to plant new trees or annuals that’ll be able to dig their roots in before winter arrives. Here’s what to know about autumn and irrigation systems.
When’s the Best Time to Install an Irrigation System?
Fall! Why? For quite a few reasons, actually. Let’s take a look at a few of the top ones:
- Companies that install irrigation systems have to trench your lawn in order to bury water lines. If they do this in the hotter months when your soil is having trouble quenching its thirst, it’ll lead to a slower lawn recovery; this isn’t the case in the fall.
- Often, irrigation companies are also at their busiest during the spring and summer months. When deciding to install an irrigation system in the fall, you’re able to enjoy shorter wait times and faster installs, both of which ensure you’re able to enjoy your beautiful fall lawn for a few weeks before winter sets in.
- Las condiciones del suelo suelen ser mucho mejores en otoño, ya que el césped se beneficia de temperaturas y climas moderados. Para una instalación perfecta, el suelo debe estar blando, pero ni demasiado húmedo ni demasiado seco, lo que convierte al otoño en la época ideal para este tipo de cuidado.
- And, finally, you don’t have to worry about running your precious plants and beautiful flowers during autumn. Chances are that an irrigation company will have to dig and disturb a plant or two in order to correctly and efficiently install your system. Wait until most of your spring and summer flowers are gone towards the beginning of autumn and you’ll feel less upset about this kind of digging and prodding.
It’s worth noting, too, that whether you’re installing your irrigation system yourself or are hiring a company to take care of it for you, fall weather is pretty ideal for this kind of work outdoors. You’ll be happy you waited until the weather cooled off a bit if you’re doing it yourself, and if you’re hiring a company to do it for you, they’ll enjoy the temperatures, too.
