When planning to have an automatic irrigation system installed you have the choice to go with a professionally installed system or a do-it-yourself (DIY) installation. The main advantage to installing your own system vs hiring a professional is the cost or savings that you will gain.
If you do not have the knowledge of sprinkler design, but want to install your own automatic sprinkler system, you must first take the time to educate yourself about this subject. There is a lot of free information available online that can get you familiar with lawn/landscape sprinkler design and installation. After you complete your research, you will need to purchase your materials and rent the proper equipment necessary to complete the installation. In the end you can certainly save money, but the process will take much longer and your sprinkler system may not be as effective.
A professional irrigation company will design and install an excellent system that is typically superior to a non-professional or do-it-yourself system. They will design the system specific to the needs of your landscape and ensure it is operating efficiently. A professional will get the job done quickly with minimal disruption to your property. A typical residential installation takes less than two days. Winnipeg Lawn Sprinklers and Irrigation
