Preserve your beautiful landscape by installing an irrigation system.
The utlimate goal of landscape irrigation systems is to keep water in the root zone and to reduce excess application of water and retain storm water on site.
Landscape Irrigation Zones
Each zone (different areas of irrigation control) of the irrigation system needs to be evaluated. Avoid mixing plant types that have vastly different water requirements in the same watering zone. For example, Kentucky bluegrass and yews should not be in the same zone, as yews will not survive on the amount of water required for Kentucky bluegrass. Also, avoid a single station that waters both sunny and shady areas.
Frequently, the irrigation system was installed before materials were planted in the landscape. When the landscape matures, trees interfere with spray patterns.

The majority of irrigation problems are maintenance related, not design problems, and the list includes blocked water streams, mixed sprinkler sizes and clogged emitters. With nothing more complicated than a tune-up, the vast majority of home irrigation system can generate large savings in irrigation use by irrigating correctly. Additional savings can occur from simple practices, such as not watering when it is raining.
In Middle Tennessee, it seems we can no longer rely on rainfall alone to keep our landscapes looking great. Who wants to spend precious free time moving sprinklers and hoses to make sure that every section of lawn and all landscape bed areas receive enough water?
