There’s nothing quite like a lush, green lawn in summer. It’s the heart of every backyard BBQ, a safe haven for kids to play, and the perfect setting for relaxing under the New Zealand sun. But as the heat rolls in, keeping your grass in peak condition can become a challenge.
That’s where our sprinkler range comes in. Designed to make lawn care effortless, our sprinklers cater to every type of homeowner, from those looking for simple, all-in-one solutions to the DIY enthusiast keen to automate their gardening setup. Whether you’re watering manually or using digital tap timers and controllers to optimise your schedule, maintaining a vibrant lawn has never been easier.
The variety in sprinkler types ensures there’s a solution for every homeowner.
For those just starting out, all-in-one portable sprinklers are a fantastic choice. These sprinklers are affordable, easy to set up, and perfect for smaller spaces or irregularly shaped lawns. Simply connect them to your garden hose, position them where needed, and you’re good to go. They’re a no-fuss solution for quick watering.
There's many sprinklers which can help you get the job done for this. The Pope Click n Go range has the following range:
We've got the GardenMate 8 Function sprinkler which has eight settings that can easily be switched to. Something portable like this makes it easy to set up for anyone with a hose. All you need to pair it with is a hose, and a manual tap timer, and you've got yourself a perfect budget summer sprinkler set up. It's good enough to keep the grass green. However will it keep every part evenly green? It depends on your lawn.
This specific model works by rotating the top of the sprinkler to give you a different spray. These include a cone spray (which sprays in a circle), square spray, half circle, half square, wedge and more. This is great for lawns and gardens that are regularly shaped, and are smaller in size. However, if you have a large backyard which needs a bit more care, then you might need something more permanent.
If you’re after something more advanced, semi-permanent sprinklers like pop-up models offer a sleek, low-maintenance approach. These sprinklers are installed below the surface of your lawn and emerge only when in use. Not only do they provide even, efficient watering, but they’re also discreet and great for medium to large lawns.
Pop up sprinklers are great for those who want to maintain the pristine uniform look of a lawn. The downside is that it comes with a bit of work, namely digging a small trench, installing dripline and ensuring everything fits perfectly. However, don't be put off by this, you'd be surprised how easy it actually is. Check out the Toro video on installing a Pop Up sprinkler here!
The best part about setting up your own irrigation system is the control you get. With your own dripline, you can control the amount of water being sprayed and the angle it sprays at. With pop-ups in particular, you open a new can of complexity with nozzles, which essentially help you choose the angle you want to spray from. We'll go into this more in a separate blog.
For the tech-savvy gardener, automated sprinkler systems linked with digital tap timers or controllers take lawn care to the next level. These systems allow you to program watering schedules, adjust for seasonal needs, and even control your sprinklers remotely through a smartphone app. They’re perfect for busy homeowners who want a lush lawn without the hassle.
In this level of irrigation, you will be working with irrigation controllers which are linked to stations and valves. If you've seen those panels on the side of a wall linked to a valve box outside, that's the exact set up of automated irrigation.
The benefits with this sort of set up is endless. Because we typically only recommend this for people who have large lawns and backyards, water conservation becomes more important. With automated irrigation set ups, you can adapt your water usage to the minute. Additionally, rain and weather sensors can help adapt existing watering routines based on the weather, which can save you lots of water.
A lush, green lawn doesn’t have to be a dream reserved for picture-perfect backyards. It can be your reality this summer. With the right sprinkler setup, tailored to your needs and lawn size, keeping your grass vibrant and healthy becomes a breeze.
Whether you’re starting out with a simple, portable solution, taking the DIY route with pop-up sprinklers, or stepping into the future with a fully automated irrigation system, there’s a sprinkler option that fits your lifestyle and budget. Each choice offers unique benefits, from affordability and ease of use to precision and efficiency.
At the heart of it all is the joy of creating a beautiful outdoor space for your family and friends to enjoy. A lush lawn is more than just grass; it’s a space for making memories, be it summer BBQs, kids playing tag, or simply relaxing in the sun.
