Is an automatic irrigation system compatible with my lawn mower?
Yes, it is! Lawn mower is compatible with irrigation system, because irrigation sprinklers are installed underground and do not prevent lawn mower from cutting grass.
Clients are often concerned that if they install an automatic irrigation system, it will be difficult to mow the lawn. This is not so.
When the irrigation system is installed correctly, the sprinkler heads are located 2 inches beneath the ground level. They are “hidden” underground and only pop up at specific pre-scheduled watering times. As long as you do not cut your grass during those specific watering times, which are usually at night anyways, your irrigation system will not interfere with your grass-cutting activity.
Furthermore, it makes absolutely no difference what type of lawn mower you use: small, large, electric, gasoline, or tractor. Your irrigation system will be perfectly safe. However, you may have to cut your grass a little more frequently because it will grow faster and fuller with a sprinkler system.
When mowing a lawn with an automatic irrigation system, it is important to follow these steps to avoid damage to the system :
- Adjust the height of the sprinkler heads so they are below the mower blade height.
- Turn off the irrigation system to prevent the mower from striking the heads or hoses.
- Wait until the water pressure in the system has dissipated before starting the mower.
- Take care to avoid running over the sprinkler heads, valves, or other components of the system while mowing.
- After mowing, adjust the sprinkler heads back to their original height.

Following these steps will ensure that the irrigation system is not damaged and that the system continues to function properly.
in conclusion, an automatic irrigation system is usually compatible with a lawn mower. The sprinkler heads are typically designed to retract into the ground or otherwise avoid being hit by a lawn mower. However, it is important to adjust the height of the sprinkler heads before mowing and to keep the irrigation system turned off while mowing to prevent damage to the system or the lawn mower.
With an automatic sprinkler system, caring for your property becomes even easier and you can continue to mow your lawn in peace.
