Sprinkler System Installation - Townsend, DE (home, water bill, estimates)

[nycgirl11223]

We recently moved to a new spec home and we are interested in having a sprinkler system installed in our yard.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Be advised that water rates are high here. My neighbors system ( .30/acre) runs 20 minutes, 3x week and his last water bill was $550. I've heard of higher also. Good luck on your decision.

Hi, I am here from MA where we did use the sprinkler. Now in the sunshine state, this is reclamied
water, however, I am in a place I do not need to know about the system. You do set the timer
for the days and minutes for water, you also are where it is cold, maybe a shut off to do it winter.
Then you need to pay or have the installer, fix the heads when they do break.Also, you need to be real faithfull, with, putting a donut hole around then and picking out the grass which grows. Look it the yellow pages, and call around for estimates, then ask the people near you. In mass all this green lawn in august did turn brown Just know what you are getting into..
