Lawn Sprinklers

Lawn sprinklers keep grass lush, flower beds vibrant, and vegetable patches thriving by delivering even, controlled watering with minimal effort. This category features hose-end sprinklers and accessories that connect to standard 3/4 in. GHT garden hoses, making setup quick and adjustments simple as your landscape grows or seasons change.

Common types to consider:
- Oscillating sprinklers: Sweep back and forth for rectangular coverage; great for lawns and seedbeds.
- Rotating/turbo sprinklers: Quiet multi-arm rotation that handles medium areas with uniform droplets.
- Impact (pulsating) sprinklers: Long throw, wind-resistant streams for large or irregular spaces.
- Stationary spot sprinklers: Fixed patterns for small areas, shrubs, or newly planted zones.
- Tripod sprinklers: Elevate the head above tall plantings for wide, adjustable coverage.
- Traveling sprinklers: Self-propel along a hose path to cover big yards evenly.

Key buying tips:
- Match coverage to your space. Note shape (rectangular vs round) and square footage.
- Check water pressure/flow (PSI/GPM). Impacts need higher pressure; oscillators suit moderate flow.
- Choose durable materials. Metal or brass heads last longer; UV-stable plastics resist sun damage.
- Pick a stable base. Weighted sleds resist tipping; spikes anchor in soil; tripods add height.
- Look for water-saving features: flow control, shut-off valves, and fine spray adjustment.

Boost performance with a hose timer, quick-connect fittings, Y-splitters for zones, and a backflow preventer. Water early morning to reduce evaporation, and target about 1 inch per week—use a rain gauge or a tuna can test to verify output. Aim for head-to-head coverage to avoid dry spots.

Maintenance is simple: flush lines, clean nozzles with a soft brush or vinegar, replace worn washers and O-rings, and drain before freezing weather to prevent cracks. Whether you’re nurturing a new lawn, maintaining an established yard, or managing drought-conscious irrigation, the right lawn sprinkler makes watering efficient, consistent, and cost-effective.
