Why Drip Irrigation Beats 
Conventional Sprinkler Technology 
(most of the time) 
As a landscape design-build business in Los Angeles, Artscape Gardens is 
dedicated to creating beautiful and sustainable outdoor spaces for our clients. 
One technology that we have found to be incredibly effective in achieving this 
goal is drip irrigation. 
Drip irrigation is a system that delivers water directly to the base of plants, as 
opposed to spraying water across the entire area with a conventional sprinkler 
system. This targeted approach to watering has several benefits. First and 
foremost, drip irrigation is much more efficient in saturating the root ball of 
plants. With a conventional sprinkler system, much of the water is lost to 
evaporation and runoff, meaning that less water actually reaches the roots. In 
contrast, drip irrigation delivers water directly to the roots, allowing for more 
efficient water uptake and better plant growth.  
Another benefit of drip irrigation is its water conservation capabilities. By 
delivering water directly to the roots, drip irrigation reduces the amount of water 
lost to evaporation and runoff. This means that less water is needed overall to 
achieve the same results as a conventional sprinkler system. In drought-prone 
areas like Los Angeles, where water conservation is crucial, this can make a 
significant difference. 
In addition to its efficiency and water conservation benefits, drip irrigation is also 
more adaptable to a variety of landscapes. Traditional sprinkler systems can be 
difficult to use in irregularly shaped or sloped areas, as they tend to overspray or 
under spray certain areas. Drip irrigation, on the other hand, can be easily 
customized to suit the unique needs of any landscape, regardless of its shape or 
topography. 
 
Finally, drip irrigation is also more cost-effective in the long run. While the initial 
installation costs may be higher than a conventional sprinkler system, drip 
irrigation systems require less maintenance and last longer, meaning that they 
ultimately save our clients money over time. 
At Artscape Gardens, we are committed to using the latest technologies to create 
beautiful, sustainable outdoor spaces for our clients. That's why we highly 
recommend drip irrigation for all of our projects. Whether you're looking to 
conserve water, improve plant growth, or create a more adaptable landscape, 
drip irrigation is a technology that can help achieve all of these goals and more.
