5 Benefits of Using a Smart Controller

🌐 Top 5 Benefits of a Smart Irrigation Controller

Save Water, Money, and Headaches with Smart Lawn Care in Omaha

If you're still setting your sprinkler timer manually—or worse, forgetting to turn it off after a rain—it's time to upgrade. A smart irrigation controller does way more than just schedule watering. It gives your yard exactly what it needs, when it needs it, while saving you money and water.

At Xscapes Landscaping, we’re seeing more and more Omaha homeowners make the switch to smart irrigation. Here’s why:

---

💧1. Water Savings Up to 50%

Smart controllers use real-time weather data to adjust your watering schedule. If it rained yesterday or it’s going to rain tomorrow, your system knows not to run. That means no more overwatering—or running your sprinklers while it's storming outside.

In Omaha, where summer weather can shift fast, this feature alone can pay for itself in one season.

💵2. Lower Water Bills

Less water used = less money wasted. Most customers see a noticeable drop in their monthly water bill after upgrading. Smart systems fine-tune watering by zone, based on sun, shade, and soil type—meaning every area of your yard gets what it actually needs, and no more.

📱3. Control from Your Phone

Forgot to shut off the sprinklers before vacation? No problem. With a smart controller, you can adjust your system from anywhere using a mobile app.

Pause watering, skip a cycle, or run a manual zone with a few taps on your phone.

Bonus: Some systems can even alert you if there’s a leak or system failure.

🧠4. Smarter Lawn Health

Your lawn doesn’t just need more water—it needs the right amount at the right time.

Smart controllers often water in shorter, deeper cycles, which promotes stronger root growth and reduces runoff. That means healthier grass, fewer brown patches, and a yard that can handle Nebraska heat better.

🌎5. Eco-Friendly & Eligible for Rebates

Using less water means doing your part to conserve resources. In some cities, installing a smart irrigation system may also make you eligible for rebates or credits—check with M.U.D. or local programs in Omaha.
