Backyard BBQ Ready: Prepping Your Garden and Irrigation Before Guests Arrive

Backyard BBQ Ready: Prepping Your Garden and Irrigation Before Guests Arrive

Amy Gray |

Hey Sprinkler Head, so you're throwing a backyard BBQ this July? Nice. But while you're out there cleaning the grill and prepping potato salad, don’t forget to get your irrigation system party-ready. Nothing kills the vibe faster than crunchy brown grass and wilted flowers next to the cooler of cold drinks.

First things first: give your sprinkler system a quick tune-up. Run each zone, check for leaks or sad little dribblers, and make sure your timer is set for early morning watering. Nobody wants a sprinkler surprise during dinner. Your lawn should be lush, not soggy, and your blooms should be photo-op ready.

Want to really impress your guests? Use hose-end sprinklers or decorative misters to cool down party zones and create a soft, refreshing atmosphere. Bonus: the kids will love running through them and the plants will thank you too. Got container gardens or flower borders? A temporary drip line or handheld wand can keep things hydrated without the mess.

Need quick fixes or stylish sprinkler options? Cheap Sprinklers has timers, misters, tools and accessories, everything you need to get your garden event-ready without spending a fortune. Because when you’re the host and a Sprinkler Head, your yard needs to show up and show out.
