drip irrigation for lawns
My front + backyard is about 2000 square feet. Instead of having a
conventional sprinkler system, is it possible to install a drip irrigation for a lawn ? If so are there any companies in austin that do that ? Thanks in advance. BR |

drip irrigation for lawns
I mow very high (4 inches or more) and I lay down soaker hoses. As long as I am
careful not to go over the connector while mowing, it works very well. Virtually no loss to evaporation. On the other hand, I have been removing more and more turf each year. This year, so far I have removed at least 500 square feet and planted natives. I removed the whole strip between the sidewalk and street. That is such a useless space. Now, I will only have to water it on rare occasions. I used Guara lindheimerii 'Siskyou Pink' and 'Whirling Butterflies.' Last fall I planted 1/2 pound of bluebonnet seeds and it is now a beautiful strip of flowers. G. lindhermerii flowers till frost, all summer.
