There is a new trend that has gained recently popularity with people that take care of their garden. This trend is the traveling sprinkler.

The traveling sprinkler is a twist in the regular sprinkler. Usually with a regular sprinkler the user will have to set up the device in a position where they would like to water their grass.

Once this spot on the grass is watered, the person must then mover the device to a different are where they would like to water, turn the sprinkler on and repeat this process until the rest of their lawn is watered. One major advantage to the traveling sprinkler is the automation.

Automation

People that are busy and don’t have the time to keep an eye on the sprinkler to know when to move it absolutely love the traveling sprinkler. You just set it up and let it do the rest of the work.

The traveling sprinkler will travel along the path of the water hose that you set up and are equipped with an automatic shut off that shut off the sprinkler upon reaching the end of the hose. You can set the sprinkler up, go run errands, take care of the family and sit and relax while the traveling sprinkler does all the work for you.

Another major advantage is coverage.

Coverage

The traveling sprinkler works great for people with lawn that are oddly shaped. Sometimes a regular sprinkler just can’t get to the nooks and crannies of your lawn without moving it several times.

All you have to do is set up the path with the traveling sprinkler and let go. It will do all the work and make sure those odd areas of your lawn receive just as much attention as the rest of your lawn does.

Disadvantage

Some traveling sprinklers come with a disclaimer that states you should not use them on lawns with fresh sod on them. This is due to the fact that the lawn might get muddy and the wheels may get lodged in the mud.

Of course this will cause the traveling sprinkler to stall, and that area of the lawn will get over watered. But as long as you adhere to the disclaimers that come with your system you should be alright.

The new trend for home landscapers is the traveling sprinkler and most likely the trend will be here to stay. It saves times and hassle for oddly shaped lawns. The traveling sprinkler is the perfect gadget for the home landscaper.
