Depending on the type of water smart irrigation system you install, it can take a wide variety of external factors into account, such as the slope of the landscape, the soil type, the plant type and the daily weather conditions. Some water smart irrigation systems offer site-specific weather controls to adjust to suit your property's micro-climate to further reduce the risk of overwatering.
 
The controls can be adjusted from your smartphone and can help you locate leaks, reduce water waste and allow you to help the environment and save money.

Hardscapes are any areas of your landscape that aren't alive, such as your patios and rock walls. A water smart irrigation system allows you to only water the areas where your plants are, reducing the risk of hardscape loss.
 
Maintaining and replacing hardscapes that are eroding and cracking from irrigation is both wasteful and expensive, but with a water smart irrigation controller, you can prevent this by reducing runoff.

Many homeowners are under the false impression that switching to a water smart irrigation system will damage their landscape because their plants won't have access to enough water. However, in reality, the primary cause of landscape loss is overwatering, not underwatering, so implementing a smart system may give your plants the opportunity to flourish.
 
Water smart irrigation systems can be adjusted to ensure that your plants are watered the correct amount to encourage them to grow optimally.

Depending on the location of your property, watering your landscape too much or on the wrong day of the week could result in hefty fines. However, with a water smart irrigation system, you can program the system to follow any of the regulations and guidelines of your local area or municipality to ensure you remain compliant.

Another main benefit of a water smart irrigation system is that it can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on garden and farm maintenance tasks.
 
During the summer months, watering by hand can be an extremely time-consuming task that may need to be done up to once a day. However, with a water smart irrigation system, you can rest assured that your landscape will stay healthy at all times. Water smart irrigation systems are also useful when you're leaving your property for some time, as you can leave it to its own devices and control it with your smartphone if needed.
