Waters of Life

Adequate water is necessary to maintain healthy yards and gardens, a truism bordering on cliche, but important nonetheless. As is another old maxim, which almost says: Too much of a good thing is not .... a good thing.

That is, overwatering can be as much a danger to plants and grasses as underwatering. And the difficulty becomes a conundrum when you consider that differing plants and grasses require different amounts of water at different times.

That is why a good irrigation system, properly installed, can be such an efficient tool for maintaining healthy yards and gardens. With timers and differing zones of coverage, you the homeowner can give the individual attention that your plant material needs - without leaving the luxury of your living room!

Ben's Creek Nursery installs irrigation systems - and here are some pictures of a recent project.

The Virginia - North Carolina line runs right through the front yard of this property!
Here we are working in Virginia....
...but turn around and you look right back into North Carolina!

The Lakeside pattern of the irrigation system is taking shape!
