To ensure a beautiful, healthy and easy lawn you must choose the right grass for your area and then a lawn sprinkler system that will help you to maintain it. If you live in an area that has cold winters and mild summers you may want to choose a cool-season grass, such as bluegrass, tall fescue or perennial ryegrass. Cool-season grasses are hardy and grow very well. If you live in an area where summers are hot and winters are mild, you might want to choose warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda grass, St. Augustine grass or zoysia grass. Warm-season grasses grow best in the hot months and turn brown in the winter.

Some important factors to consider when choosing grass and your lawn sprinkler system is the type of lawn desired, size of area, location, and soil conditions. Checking with your local nursery may help you decide what kind of grasses suit your needs. They can also assist you in assessing the type of lawn sprinkler system you will require to keep your lawn adequately watered based on the type of grass that you have.

The simplest type of system is your basic lawn sprinkler. You can just hook it up to the hose and set it in the middle of your yard. This is extremely low cost, but you can't forget you are watering because you have to manually turn it off and then put it up. These systems are also not very efficient and in some parts of your yard, the driveway may end up with more water than the grass does.

If you are looking for something a little more yard and user-friendly, then you will want a more permanent solution. An in-ground lawn sprinkler system can make watering your yard an almost completely worry free event. These are available in both manual and automatic systems. They work on timers and you can adjust the controls to ensure that your lawn is receiving a sufficient amount of water. Manual in-ground systems do require that you turn the water off and on yourself, but they are more efficient than your typical, portable lawn sprinkler. You can also enjoy the built-in design at a more affordable price than what the automatic system offers.

Within the lawn sprinkler system that you choose, you will need to determine the type of sprinkler heads that you will require. If you are going with an in-ground system, you are going to want low level heads that water at ground level. These are more efficient and ensure that you are watering the area you intend to water. You also have the choice of mist-type heads or rotary heads. Misting heads will provide water in a more precise area than the rotating heads and they are the type that most golf courses use.

Once you have chosen your system, you can choose to either install it yourself or have it installed by a landscaping company. It is always a good idea to hire a professional, as most will provide a warranty of some sort and will help you fix any problems you may have in the future.
