Sprinkler Economics 101- You can’t afford a lawn sprinkler system… or can you?


Remember Econ-101 from back in your freshman days? All those cool new economics terms, supply & demand, elasticity,commodities, Keynesian theory? Well, we would like to apply them to the irrigation industry and explain to you why there has never been a better time to purchase an automatic lawn sprinkler system for your home. After we’re finished, we think you’ll agree that you really cannot afford to “not” buy one!

Let us take a step back in time… the year is 2005. The U.S. economy is churning away at a break neck pace. The Wall Street financial collapse had never crossed anyone’s mind. Consumers had lots of disposable income and were buying all sorts of products large and small, including lots and lots of sprinkler systems. Demand was high, supply was low… Rainbird could charge a premium for their lawn sprinkler heads and nobody would bat an eyebrow.

Now add to the mix Hurricane Katrina and the devastation to all the oil drilling platforms and oil refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. Gasoline prices shot thru the roof and approached $5.00 per gallon. It seemed like the cost of everything was hyper-inflating, including the cost of sprinkler parts. You may or may not know this but the bulk of sprinkler parts are made from plastics(polyvinylchloride, polybutylene, etc…) which happen to be manufactured from petroleum byproducts. Do you see where we are going with this? That’s right, there is a direct correlation between the cost of our sprinkler parts and the cost of oil. 

Scroll forward to today and it’s a totally different world my friends. The price of gasoline has stabilized to well under $3.00 per gallon. Gone is the consumer with an endless supply of disposable income. The supply of sprinkler parts is high, the demand for sprinkler systems is low. New homes construction is down. The cost of everything has bottomed out. It truly is a buyers market. Homes, automobiles, and yes , even automatic lawn sprinkler systems, all are at rock bottom prices.

So if you’re in the market for an automatic lawn sprinkler system and think that you cannot afford it, think again, you may be pleasantly surprised! Call EcoLawn Sprinkler System of Springfield Va. today and get the lush, green lawn and landscape you deserve!

I’ve never seen my husband so pleasantly surprised as when he came home to his new EcoLawn Sprinkler System! By Rachel Addams.


Dear Terry, I must tell you of the funniest thing I have seen in quite a while. As you may already know, EcoLawn Sprinkler Company was scheduled to install our new lawn sprinkler system last Thursday. The crew arrived early in the morning at around 7:30 am and worked all day. The only time I saw them not working was during a short lunch break at around 1:00pm. They finished up at around 6:00pm and showed me how to use the sprinkler system shortly thereafter. Everything went perfectly! When my husband Bill arrived home at about 7:30pm, He started to yell at me and question why the sprinkler company did not show up as scheduled and why I did not inform him of this. I told him that EcoLawn did show up and that the job was completed. He did not believe me because there was no evidence of any damage to the lawn or landscape. I have never seen him so embarrassed! Please Terry, tell Herman thanks for the great job. Our neighbors are already asking who did this great work! Sincerely Rachel Addams.

What is best season for install a lawn sprinkler system? Mr. Saleem Abdulman.


That is a great and often asked question Mr. Abdulman; and I would like to take a few moments to discuss this with you, as this information would behoove other new EcoLawn blog readers alike in their quest to water their lawns automatically. While each prospective irrigation client has his or her own theory on when the optimal time for installation is, the fact of the matter is that some seasons are better than others for particular reasons. During the spring season, the soil is much more pliable and damage to the lawn is minimal. In the event there is some damage done to the lawn, seed work can be done successfully during this season. A spring installation also has the advantage of the homeowner being able to “test drive” the system prior to the hot summer weather when usage will be at a peak and problems can lead to a dying lawn and landscape. EcoLawn Sprinkler System includes a one year service agreement with each installation. This means that if your system is installed in April, May, or June, EcoLawn sprinkler System will come out the following spring and turn it back on for you. Summer lawn sprinkler installations are performed at full price and there are no seasonal discounts for installation. Lead time is longer and there possibly could be more lawn damage due to the dry and crumbly soil conditions. Frank Korff suggests you have your lawn sprinkler system installed in spring, as this is when you will receive optimal return on EcoLawn Sprinkler System services and also lawn and landscape damage is kept at a minimum.
