Landscapers Select Soaker Hose

A standard garden hose is designed to deliver a high-pressure stream of water for tasks like washing cars or filling buckets. This soaker hose is porous, designed to weep water slowly and evenly along its entire 50-foot length, which allows it to soak the soil directly at the root level rather than spraying the foliage.

Absolutely. In fact, placing the hose under a layer of mulch is highly recommended. It helps prevent evaporation, keeps the water focused on the roots, and protects the hose material from direct UV exposure, which can extend its lifespan.

Soaker hoses perform best with low to moderate water pressure. If your spigot is turned on too high, the hose may spray water rather than weeping it, which defeats the purpose of targeted irrigation.

It can be used on slopes, though you may notice uneven water distribution if the slope is steep. For the best results on hills, try to lay the hose horizontally across the slope rather than running it straight up and down.
