			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>It can be difficult to decide what type of irrigation system is best for you if you live in Central Florida.</em></p>
<p>There are different types of sprinkler systems to choose from with different features, which can get overwhelming. In an effort to help make the process a little simpler, here is an overview of the three most common Orlando irrigations systems. </p>
<p><strong>Spray Head Sprinklers</strong><br />
This system can be installed so the sprinkler heads are visible at all times or so they only pop up when the system is activated. This can be a purely aesthetic choice, but it is important to consider. Spray head sprinklers spray in shape patterns that range from circles to rectangles, with the various circle patterns being the most common. Some of the spray heads can even be adjusted to spray water from many different angles. This system is considered to have a high application rate, which means the sprinkler heads release a large amount of water in a short amount of time.</p>
<p>Due to their high application rate they are not the best system for slopes or for nonabsorbent soils, such as clay and sand. This system works best for flat areas. Spray head irrigation systems do not cover as much ground as some other systems, so they are best for small areas, such as gardens and small lawns.</p>
<p><strong>Rotor Head Sprinklers</strong><br />
There are two types of rotor head irrigation systems: stream and impact. The stream rotor head sprinkler uses pressurized water to move the gears inside the head, which rotates the sprinkler head around. The impact rotor head sprinkler uses a swinging arm to rotate. When the arm swings it hits the sprinkler head and moves it a little.</p>
<p>The rotor head sprinklers distribute water more evenly than spray head sprinklers do, which makes them ideal for larger areas like big lawns. They also have a lower application rate.</p>
<p><strong>Drip Watering Systems</strong><br />
In <strong>Orlando, drip irrigation</strong> is a popular choice for gardens.  This system is completely different from a conventional watering system; it doesn’t use sprinklers at all. It uses a special tube with specifically placed holes in it that allow water to drip directly onto the soil.</p>
<p>The system is easy to customize because the holes can be placed anywhere along the tube. The tube can use a generic hole pattern for even distribution, or the holes can be placed at specific points to only water the plants and avoid watering the soil in between. This system also conserves water, because it drips water on to the soil instead of spraying it in the air which causes more evaporation.</p>

<p>Here at the <strong><em>Roedell&#8217;s Landscaping</em></strong> located in Orlando, Florida we have perfected the installation of sod. All the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts have been worked out during the last ten years of installing. We would like to share our tips and experience with you. So here is a helpful guide to assist you if you decide to tackle the work alone.</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both; padding-top:10px;">
<ol>
<li><strong>Sod measurements</strong> – When starting your sod project you must know where all your landscape structures and flower beds will be located. Either with a measuring wheel or tape measure you should get the best measurements possible. Keep in mind that you will need to go over a small amount to allow for cuts.</li>
<li><strong>Soil Preparation</strong>- In preparing your sod area you must keep in mind what&#8217;s most important is that the roots will be able to penetrate into the soil. A hard surface could cause a big problem for roots. Make sure all rocks, roots and old grass are extracted from the area of installation. A good three inch layer of topsoil is fine as the sod comes with its own soil amendment. A mix of sandy soil is good as drainage is very important.</li>
<li><strong>Final grading</strong> &#8211; Make sure that the area is raked out level to insure sod will also be level. Using a proper grading rake always works best. Depending on the area your grading you may need to roll over the soil. Rolling helps to make sure soil doesn&#8217;t run or settle with holes that will hinder sod growth. Sod preparation is everything when it comes to sod installation.</li>
<li><strong>Laying and cutting</strong> &#8211; Lay your first row of sod starting against edge of flower bed, house, patio or any landscape border. When laying the next row overlap your seams. Don&#8217;t line up your seams together or you will have lines when sod grows in. You will need a sod cutter to cut along all borders and around sprinkler heads. Keep all pieces on the side as you may need them to fill in as you work.</li>
<li><strong>Watering</strong> &#8211; The first two weeks of watering you will water for 45 minutes a zone. This heavy watering is to pushes roots down into soil. The weeks that follow you will want to water 20 to 30 minutes a day depending on heat conditions.</li>
<li><strong>Maintenance</strong> – Everyone wants to know when it&#8217;s good to do the first cut.  Depending on the growth and if the roots started to grab will determine when you cut. Test the area by trying to pull back a piece of sod. If it has rooted you may do your first cut. You should cut at a slow pace with lawn mower for the first month.</li>
</ol>

<p>Instead of doing it yourself, if you would like to have your sod professionally installed in the Orlando area, Roedell&#8217;s Landscaping can help!</p>
