S McKenzie

Scott Young reveals his tips and techniques in a new guide that shows how to install an automatic lawn sprinkler system in 6 days or less and save 67% of the cost.

‘As a lawn sprinkler service professional for over 7 years, I have seen many people waste hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on unnecessary installation fees. The very same job could have been done by them with the same quality for a fraction of the price.’ says Young ‘ I have managed my own lawn sprinkler business for 3 years as a licensed irrigation contractor in Florida. Having designed, installed, and repaired sprinklers systems in hundreds of homes, I ran into many clients who wanted to learn how the system worked, so they could either do their own repairs or even build a system of their own.’ More http://tinyurl.com/4w7wg

‘I then decided to put together this guide to help the average homeowner design and install his or her system quickly and without the headache or hassles of doing complicated mathematical equations. Not to mention cutting out the costs and difficulty with dealing with contractors. I looked around on the Internet to see what kind of information was available to the average person looking to design and install their own sprinkler system. To my surprise, I could not find anything anywhere that was accurate or easy to understand. People don't want to, nor have the time to, take classes to learn sprinkler design when they just want to water their lawns!’

‘How To Build Your Own Automatic Lawn Sprinkler System’ is tailored for the everyday homeowner. Topics covered include: Explanation of the ease of installing your own sprinkler system in 6 days or less, Discover the ‘make or break’ secret that could cost you hundreds each month on your water bill, The 16 no-hassle steps to cut your installation time in half, How to set a watering schedule to maximize the efficiency of your new automatic sprinkler system and more.
