Why use a backpack sprayer for lawn care?
Lawn care for some is a necessary task to keeping a property tidy and in good shape. For others, lawn care is both a hobby, and in some cases, a competition with their neighbours to see who can cultivate the best-looking lawn in the neighbourhood.
There are several tools that landscapes and homeowners use to create the best lawn in town. One of those tools is called a backpack sprayer. A backpack sprayer is used to apply liquids to a homeowner’s lawn. These liquids include, but are not limited to, fertilizers, herbicides, bio-nutrients, and pesticides. Each of the liquids mentioned have an important part of creating a lush, weed-free, green paradise.
What is a backpack sprayer?
A backpack sprayer is used to apply a wide range of different herbicides, pesticides, and other liquids across a surface area. Backpack sprayers use pump to dispense liquids over a given surface area both small and large. They hold more liquid than hose-end sprayers and are much easier to operate. Backpack sprayers allow quick and easy application of the chosen product and come in both electric and manual pumping options. A backpack sprayer is the perfect option for a landscaper or homeowner who is looking for the perfect lawn.
The ideal backpack sprayer for lawn care will be lithium-ion battery powered, product at least 1 gallon per minute and 50-100 PSI. A battery powered sprayer is best as this eliminates the need to manually pump the backpack sprayer and frees up your hands to control the sprayer and move any objects that may come up in the spraying process. It also reduces any irritation or fatigue that may occur from repetitive manual pumping – commonly referred to as “tennis elbow”. Additionally, a battery powered sprayer can also be adjusted to provide the exact amount of pressure to provide the even spray required for lawn care.
When considering a backpack sprayer for lawn care, it is important to consider how much liquid you need to fit in the backpack to get the job done. Of course, is dependent on the size of your application area and the chemical’s application rate. For homeowners, the average size lawn in North America is nearly 11,000 square feet. In our opinion, a 4-gallon backpack sprayer is appropriate for lawns up to 30,000 square feet, however, you must consider the chemical’s application rate as mentioned. When using a backpack sprayer on a 30,000 square foot lawn, you will likely need to refill the tank a few times – again this depends on the chemical’s application rate.
