These low-pressure, low-volume systems reduce water use by 50% or more.<\/p>\n Drip irrigation kits are available, and most can be expanded or modified with the right accessories for your landscape. Accessories include misters to water plant leaves, bubblers to saturate roots and drippers for general watering of gardens and lawns. You can also purchase components for a custom design.<\/p>\n Landscape companies work with kits, but most design custom drip irrigation systems for each project and the needs of the type of plants you\u2019re watering, as well as the amount of water each plant needs.<\/p>\n This Costimate will help you estimate the cost of drip irrigation for your landscape. It includes cost factors, itemized supplies cost and costs from other sites for comparison. Costs submitted by readers are included, and you\u2019re invited to return to share your costs to help other homeowners estimate the price of a drip irrigation system.<\/p>\n Drip Irrigation System Price Factors<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n How much does a drip irrigation system cost? It depends on these factors.<\/p>\n Retail Cost Range<\/span> (Equipment Only)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Here are costs for kits and additional components often included in a drip irrigation system.<\/p>\n Installation Labor Cost<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Rates for irrigation system installers varies by cost of living in your area, competition, time of year and the size of the company \u2013 larger companies often have higher rates to cover increased overhead.<\/p>\n Installation Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When installing a 100-foot system, cost is determined by whether the main line is buried, soil conditions and the number and type of emitters used.<\/p>\n Most kits include clearly written directions that are easy to follow. Many brands also offer video tutorials like this Rain Bird installation guide on their sites. They are worth watching a time or two because improper installation will result in clogged emitters and over-watering or under-watering of some areas.<\/p>\n The videos show how to install a basic kit for spot watering or general landscape watering and how to choose the right spot watering equipment.<\/p>\n Installation of an above-ground drip irrigation kit is DIY task that does not require experience \u2013 just a few hours and the ability to follow directions.<\/p>\n We recently installed a 170-foot system to serve 40-50 plants in about 6 hours with little difficulty. But an hour of planning<\/strong> the week before proved helpful. It allowed us to design the system and get a handful of additional parts.<\/p>\n Planning will help ensure that you have the kit or custom components and the tools for the system you intend to install.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $320, Installed The average cost of a drip irrigation system is around $80-$100 for 100 feet of watering, when you purchase and install the system yourself.
