Keeping in line with water conservation tactics, we will cover a unique type of irrigation system that allows for complete coverage when watering shrubs and trees in your landscape, while conserving water to keep in line with restrictions. This type of irrigation is called bubbler irrigation and is primarily used for watering in well-defined, concave areas near trees or shrubs. Ideally, proper Dallas tree service calls for the utilization of this type of irrigation setup for those types of foliage because traditional sprinkler heads are not as effective.
BUBBLER BASICS
How are bubbler irrigation systems different than other types of irrigation? Bubblers distribute even amounts of water very close to the ground within a defined radius, so that water is not wasted because it is distributed directly into the roots of the shrubs and trees. Here are some additional benefits of bubblers:
- Bubblers are visible; therefore, problems with the device are easily noticeable
- Bubblers are designed so they are not as susceptive to wind or heat erosion
- Fertilizers can be paired with irrigation water
- Bubblers are not energy intensive
- Bacteria and fungi that thrive in moist conditions are restricted from growing due to drier conditions around the plant because moisture is lead directly into the roots of plant
A TALE OF TWO BUBBLERS
Before you think about investing in this type of irrigation, you should consider the two different options. These are known as bubblers and bubbler nozzles, both of which are made in different varieties to best meet the needs of your landscape. These differing setups will serve your Dallas tree service needs equally, but here are the key takeaways:
- Bubblers connect to the water system using a shrub stick, swing joint, or pipe nipple.
- Bubblers remove the need for a spray body.
- Bubbler nozzles attach to a spray head.
- Bubbler nozzles require a spray body to operate.
