As spring slowly starts to take hold across Australia, many people are already looking ahead to the summer months and all of the work in the garden that entails. However, before summer reaches you, there is a lot that can be done to minimise your actual workload during that month, allowing you to focus on your favourite areas when the time comes. One such concern that should always be on your mind is the irrigation of your property. Without proper watering, your plants and grass will die off quickly in the hot summer sun. Here are three reasons why spring is the perfect time for sprinkler installation.

The Ground Isn't As Hard

During winter the soil beneath your garden is far harder and less forgiving to anyone trying to dig into it. While it is not as bad as in some countries, where the ground becomes totally impenetrable, it is still not ideal working conditions. The overall job will take far longer, cost more, and can turn out far less effective than what you had hoped. As winter turns into spring, the ground itself becomes far more malleable for sprinkler installation, which will save you and everyone involved a lot of time and money.

Beat The Summer Rush

It is not until summer is actually upon the country that many people realise they need to update their sprinkler systems, which means that these businesses become extraordinarily busy. This is especially noticeable at the start of the season, but it continues for most of the summer. If you don't want to be put on a waiting list and want your sprinkler installation done within a few days or weeks, then spring is the best time to do it. The ground isn't too hard and these businesses aren't too busy, making it just right for you to get your irrigation upgraded.

Foster The Growth Of New Plant Life

Spring is when many people start to add new plants to their garden, or at least shift around the positions of their current plants. If you have done this, as most people have, then you should also be doing everything in your power to ensure these new plants have the sustenance they need, especially during spring. Sprinkler installation is an easy way to automate this (with many sprinklers now operating off an easy to use timer), making sure your plants look great with the least amount of effort possible.
