Zoned Irrigation Systems

Different parts of your landscape (zones) need different amounts of water. If you're applying the same amount to your whole yard, you're probably wasting water. Automatic, underground irrigation systems can be set with different zones, so that your turfgrass isn't getting the same amount of water as your flower beds.
