Using Drip Lines for Irrigation

Using drip lines to irrigate plants has been a method practiced for years by Charlotte irrigation professionals.  When most people think about sprinkler systems they think about spray heads throughout their yard.  Many times using only spray heads to irrigate your landscape can actually cause damage to your plants by over or under watering.  Drip tubing will actually provide more water to the roots of your plants by directing the water to the base of the plants rather than all over the plants.  Charlotte sprinkler system professionals can customize drip lines to your specific landscape, conserving water so that each hole in the line is located exactly where a plant lies.  Drip lines also generally conserve water as the low flow rate uses less water and energy to provide water where it is needed.  Another advantage is that weeds are less likely to grow where drip tubes are used.  As they provide water directly to the plants there is less water between plants to promote their growth in the flower bed.  Drip tubes are not used for lawn maintenance.  They are mostly used in flower beds and fruit and vegetable gardens.  Many nurseries use drip tubes by running them along the ceiling on greenhouses.  They can add and remove plants from the drip line area as needed or move the lines themselves depending on what is being watered.  If you would like to add drip lines to your sprinkler system call a Charlotte irrigation licensed contractor.  They will usually provide free estimates for drip line installations.
