There are three main types of lawn sprinkler heads, each having a few subcategory heads beneath them. The three types are spray heads, rotary spray heads, and drip or soaker systems. 


Depending on the area that needs to be watered, each of these sprinkler heads has certain features that can do a great job!


Spray heads are suitable for small and compact areas, rotor heads are ideal for larger areas, and drip systems are efficient for watering plants directly at the roots. We'll evaluate your lawn to determine which sprinkler head will be the best choice for your property.

Spray Heads

Spray heads are typically found in the stationary sprinkler head category. They spray water in a fan-shaped pattern, usually in a radius of up to 18 feet. Spray heads are designed to be installed in compact spaces, making them ideal for small or irregularly shaped areas. They are typically used for watering flowers, shrubs, and small lawns. Spray heads are available in both fixed and adjustable types, allowing you to control the flow and direction of the water.


Bubbler heads are a great option for introducing new plants to your garden or lawn. Water is slowly introduced to the ground around your plants and seeps down to the roots to help establish strong, healthy plants. 

Rotary Spray Heads

Rotor heads, AKA rotary sprinklers, are a common type of sprinkler system that uses a rotating nozzle to distribute water over a large area. Unlike spray heads, rotor heads have a larger radius of coverage, up to 55 feet or more. They are designed to be used in larger lawns and commercial areas because they are the most efficient option available. Rotor heads are available in both full-circle and partial-circle models, giving you control over the coverage area.


Pop-up heads are a type of rotary sprinkler head that is installed at ground level so that they are out of the way when doing regular lawn maintenance. They are paired with a timer that tells them when to pop up and begin spraying your lawn. They are the most common type of head used because they are efficient and do not distract from your lawn.

Drip or Soaker Systems

Drip systems are a type of irrigation system that delivers water directly to the roots of plants through a network of tubes and emitters. Drip systems are made for areas with low water pressure, where traditional sprinkler systems may not be effective. Drip systems are efficient and conserve water by reducing evaporation and runoff. They are commonly used for flower beds because the amount of water can be adjusted for exactly the type of plant being watered.
