Approximately how much area does a single sprinkler head cover?

A single sprinkler head typically covers an area ranging from 130 to 200 square feet. This coverage depends on factors such as the type of sprinkler, water pressure, and the design of the irrigation system. Sprinklers are designed to disperse water efficiently, ensuring that the coverage is optimal for various landscapes, including residential lawns and gardens. Understanding this range is crucial for engineers and landscape designers when planning irrigation systems to achieve adequate water distribution without overlap or dry spots.

While options indicating lower or higher coverage areas exist, they do not accurately reflect the standard performance of most sprinkler heads. This range allows for efficient watering with minimal waste, making it an important detail in the design and implementation of irrigation systems.
