Drip Irrigation vs. Spray Sprinklers in Southern Utah
Drip irrigation applies water close to plant roots and is often a strong fit for shrubs, trees, beds, and desert-adapted landscapes. Spray sprinklers are generally better suited to turf areas that need even surface coverage. Many Washington County properties benefit from using both methods in separate zones.
Do not mix components with very different application rates on the same zone. Check filters, pressure regulation, emitters, head spacing, and controller run times.
