Different Types of Sprinkler Systems

There are several different types of outdoor sprinklers on the market today. Below are a few of the most common types you’ll find for your lawn care needs.

Tractor Sprinklers

A tractor sprinkler is a self-propelled traveling sprinkler with arms that spurt water. It is placed on the ground and propelled forward by water pressure, which rotates its wheels. Tractor sprinklers are highly effective for medium- to large-sized lawns.

Oscillating Sprinklers

An oscillating sprinkler has a large bar with jets that disperse water in a fan-like motion over your lawn. It waters lawns uniformly with evenly distributed water through precision nozzles, making it great for smaller rectangular lawns or larger lawns when used as part of a water sprinkler system.

Tripod Sprinkler

Perfect for covering larger areas or simply reaching over shrubs, flowers or other garden features, telescoping tripod sprinklers are often adjustable to allow for a partial or full circle watering range. Spiked feet and a sturdy construction let you secure your tripod sprinkler in place for reliable watering season after season.

Rotating Sprinklers

Rotating sprinklers are often spiked into the ground and disperse water to the lawn in a circular manner. These sprinklers can effectively cover a large area and be used as part of a larger garden sprinkler system for a healthy, thriving lawn. Impact sprinklers, also called impulse sprinklers, are a common type of rotating sprinkler you might come across.

More Outdoor Sprinkler Options

You can also use a sprinkler timer to automatically set up a timed irrigation system for your home, combining above-ground and underground sprinklers for a holistic approach to lawn care.

For an old-school approach, using a garden hose with different hose connectors or nozzles and wands to target specific areas is always reliable.

Special Water Sprinkler Features to Consider

Above-ground sprinklers for lawns come with specific features to optimize your landscaping. When planning your lawn care irrigation system, consider the following sprinkler features for your yard:

• Throw spray range: The distance the water travels from the sprinkler will help determine which sprinkler would be best for your lawn and how many you may need for full coverage. Look for options with a throw spray range from 10 to 100 feet.
• Coverage area: While throw spray measures the reach of the sprinkler water, coverage describes the entire area the water coats and is measured in square footage. This information is especially helpful when looking at rotating sprinklers to judge just how many you need for your lawn.
• Intelligent sensing technology: Some sprinklers have built-in sensory intelligence that reacts to and repels animals and pests to help protect your lawn, garden, flowers and plants.
• Adjustable range control: Different settings let you adjust the sprinkler height and range for closer or further coverage.
• Customized spray: Adjust your water pressure from a powerful jet to a gentle mist to get the exact amount of water you want for each area of your yard.
