Drip Irrigation Makes a Difference. Here's Why You Should Be Selling It.

If you're setting up irrigation this summer, suggest drip lines for landscaped areas. It works great and is easy to install. And in areas with heat, drought, or watering restrictions, it's the smartest way to keep your customers' plants healthy while saving water.

Why We Recommend Drip Irrigation

Drip systems send water straight to the roots. It keeps the soil moist without soaking everything around it. Beds stay cleaner, plants grow stronger, and customers save on their water bills.
 

It's helpful during long dry spells when traditional sprinklers come up short. And in many cities, drip zones are exempt from watering restrictions, which gives your customers more flexibility.
 

Convert Sprinklers to Drip and Add Value
 

Here's how you upsell drip irrigation:

If a property already has a sprinkler zone feeding shrubs or beds, offer to convert it to drip. Most customers don't even know that's an option. It's a quick job for you, but a high-value upgrade that improves performance and lowers your customers' water use over time.


What to Say to Help Drip Irrigation Sell

Think of it this way. You're not selling parts; you're solving problems. Tell your customers:

- Drip systems use 30-50% less water than spray heads.

- Less water on the leaves means less disease and better growth.

- They'll see lower bills all season long.

- Drip lines can run even during watering bans in some areas.


Help Your Customers. Build Your Business.
 

Your customers care about saving water, and not just for cost reasons. More of them are asking for sustainable options, and they expect their contractors to be ready with the answers. Drip irrigation gives you a solution that's easy to explain and install.
