Irrigreen is shaking up the landscaping industry by reducing water footprints by 50%

TL;DR: Check out Irrigreen, the digital sprinkler system that can cut your water bills in half. As of June 12, this landscaping company is accepting crowdsourced investments of $150 or more. Water is not as plentiful as it used to be. And the increasingly epic droughts in the western U.S. definitely do not help matters. So, not to be the bearer of bad news, but that makes your current lawn irrigation system — which doesn’t just water your lawn, but everything else in its vicinity — kinda irresponsible. Watering your lawn with a typical sprinkler system for just an hour uses about 1,020 gallons of water. Watering three times per week amounts to about 12,240 gallons per month. Now imagine how much of that water is wasted, thanks to overlapping systems and ones that just simply don’t fit your lawn. If your sprinkler is watering the sidewalk or driveway more than your actual grass, there's a problem. It’s time for a better way, and Irrigreen hopes to be the lawn irrigation system of the future by cutting outdoor water usage in half.
