Bubble Sprinkler Head

Definition

A sprinkler nozzle that releases water slowly in a single place, rather than spraying it over a wide area. They are placed near the base of trees and shrubs and in flower beds, and soak the ground around them, allowing water to penetrate into the soil.

Things you need to know

Bubblers are best used in tree wells, planters, for shrubs, and in areas where sprinkler spray cannot reach.

Cost Considerations

Installing a sprinkler system designed for trees will increase the price around 45%, whereas sprinklers designed for flower beds are 15% less expensive than the standard sprinkler system. A standard sprinkler system for an 8,000 sq. ft. lawn costs about $2,500 to $3,500.

Costs vary greatly by region (and even by zip code). To get free estimates from local contractors, please indicate yours.
