The ideal garden sprinkler and/or lawn sprinkler has become important as summers get hotter – at least for as long there's no hosepipe ban in place.
Most people will h2o their plants, but what about your lawn? If there's been a particularly dry month then your garden can easily become parched. With the summer rapidly approaching now is the perfect time to start getting your garden healthy.

1. GARDENA PREMIUM PULSE SPRINKLER
Aside from being especially well suited for large lawns up to 490m2, the main reason we love pulse or impact sprinklers is that they typify the sound of summer and especially in the countryside. After all, who doesn't love the peaceful tsk-tsk-tsk sound of a farmer or stately home's irrigation system on a hot summer's evening while sipping on a Pimms or going for a stroll along a bridleway? Well, plonk this model on your lawn and you'll always feel like you're in the country.
Admittedly, pulse sprinklers do look like the result of someone who's found a jumble of metal and plastic bits and put them all together in a man shed. They're also quite delicate and don't like being trampled on. But they're among the top options for long-range watering.
This Gardena Premium Pulse Sprinkler uses a decent amount of sturdy metal in its construction and comes equipped with a high precision brass nozzle that should produce a fusillade of reliable squirts day in day out. Its 10 to 25 meter range is easily adjusted using the large knob on the side and there's a separate swivel adjuster to set the sector from 25° to 360°. And because it has a thorough connector, you can also link a bunch of them together for a full-on squirt symphony.

2. HOZELOCK RECTANGULAR SPRINKLER
Smaller gardens that need a reliable job done can expect good things from this side-to-side sprinkler. Indeed, it's arguably the most popular sprinkler on the market and very reliable it is, too. Unlike the Kärcher and Gardena reviewed below, you can't make any adjustments to the 15 water jets but you can adjust the reach on either side. However, making reach adjustments on the fly is a recipe for a good soaking so be sure to time your tinkering Ethan Hunt-style between oscillations.
The Hozelock's wide sled-style design keeps it firmly in place even on steep inclines so perhaps consider it if your lawn is as hilly as the South Downs and preferably rectangular in shape.

3. KARCHER PREMIUM OSCILLATING SPRINKLER OS 5.320SV
Kärcher is ideal known for its pressure washers but it's also into gardening in a big way and doing it well. Take this sturdy oscillating sprinkler for example. Unlike your average common or garden oscillator, this one comes with a full complement of bells and whistles. It's got twenty jets on board for a start, and that means excellent coverage on all sides. Better still, you can customize the coverage by turning off some of the nozzles on either side to produce a narrower zone.
The Kärcher Oscillating Sprinkler also comes with a knob for adjusting the drinking water pressure so you don't need to stand at a tap while selecting the most suitable squirt distance. And, in a minor stroke of genius, there's a plastic SplashGuard underneath the unit that rotates to cover the jets nearest to your face while you make extra adjustments.
Admittedly, with all nozzles open – and using typical London h2o pressure – the Kärcher isn't as far-reaching as the Spear & Jackson or Hozelock Rectangular Sprinkler (you get about 4m of shakiness either side) but close a couple of jets on both sides and the throw increases to around 8m either side, albeit with a narrower formation. This setting is ideal for the average long and slim urban London lawn since it will cover the entire plot in one fell swoop. And that means you can just leave it to do its stuff while you engage in more important pastimes, like stuffing your face and getting rat arsed.

4. COST-WISE Garden BAR SPRINKLER
This oscillating lawn bar sprinkler from Cost Wise is the epitome of a basic, no-nonsense garden sprinkler. It's crazy cheap, so much so that you could buy multiple units for the cost of some other rival models, and you simply plug it in, and away it goes.
As with most cheaper models, this sprinkler's action is driven by the drinking water running through it, and coverage is directly dependent on h2o pressure. This means you can just open or close your tap to grow or shrink its nozzle spray spread and distance traveled.
You can lock the angle and direction of spray, too, meaning that if you want to just water a narrow patch of your garden, such as a flowerbed, then you can do so.
The build quality is just average and there's no doubting that this unit is made largely out of plastic, so don't expect decades of use, but when it's as cheap as it is we're not sure that's really something to worry about.
5. GARDENA AQUAZOOM M
Like the excellent Kärcher reviewed above, this new Gardena model's 16 h2o jets can be adjusted for either a wide or narrow reach depending on the size and shape of the garden. However, unlike the Kärcher's 20 nozzles which you can switch on and off, the Gardena's system uses two banks of permanently on nozzles which can be aimed side to side to provide a narrow or wide zone, or even adjusted so one bank of jets forms a straight line, say down the edge of a pathway, while the other bank waters the rest of the lawn plus perhaps a flower bed on the side.
The Gardena's nozzles are wider than the norm and that means the reach is nowhere near as far as the supreme Spear & Jackson or Kärcher with two of its jet banks turned off. On the plus side, the increased amount of drinking water coming out of each jet is very similar to that of raindrops so in many ways this sprinkler provides more h2o per squirty oscillation.
The upshot is if you have a garden with a surface area larger than say, 10m x 5m or your water pressure is low as it usually is in London, then perhaps forego this model and opt for the Spear & Jackson which has a massive range even in low-pressure regions. On the other hand, if your lawn is relatively small – and oddly shaped – and you wish to douse the garden and beds with more h2o per pass, then this is the sprinkler to go for.
