GrowGreen Rotating Lawn Sprinkler

Spread across your whole yard

One sprinkler for all your gardening needs.

Pros:

  • Huge coverage
  • Powerful

Cons:

  • Not the cheapest

With a giant 3,600 square foot range, the GrowGreen Rotating Lawn Sprinkler connected sprinkler is powerful enough to be the only sprinkler you need. If you have a lawn bigger than 3,600 square feet congratulations, but you will need two of these top cover it. I like this sprinkler for the power of the spray and the 360-degree coverage it produces.

K-Rain Pro-S 4" Professional Pop-Up Sprays

For a large network

A reasonably priced pack of six.

Pros:

  • Super cheap
  • Discreet
  • Adjustable coverage

Cons:

  • Has to be in the ground

A lot of houses come with an in-ground irrigation system as standard. The K-Rain Pro-S 4" Professional Pop-Up Sprays pop-up sprinklers are perfect for replacing the old ones and can be adjusted as needed to cover the maximum area. I like that they can spray from 0 to 360 degrees, saving my house from being sprayed by the ones by my wall.

On a budget?

Madeking Garden Sprinkler

Powerful irrigation

Three-in-one sprinkler settings. 

Pros:

  • Three settings
  • Reasonably priced
  • Connect two or more

Cons:

  • Best for larger back yards

The Madeking Garden Sprinkler produces high water pressure and can be connected to multiple sprinklers to provide greater garden coverage. It has a low-maintenance 360 degree rotating action, which will keep your yard green without the need to adjust its position. 

Low impact

Kadaon Rotating Lawn Sprinkler

Great for playing games in

A budget sprinkler for fun or practical use. 

Pros:

  • 3000 sq ft coverage
  • Inexpensive

Cons:

  • Not discreet

This budget sprinkler head will water your lawn well sure, but due to the height the water sprays it makes an awesome sprinkler for your kids. The Kadaon Rotating Lawn Sprinkler fires water high into the air to simulate rain but also makes it perfect for kids to run around in.
