pop-up sprinkler

Hidden yard waterer

A pop-up sprinkler is an irrigation device that rises from ground level when water pressure activates it, then retracts flush with the surface when turned off.

This design allows lawn mowers to pass over without damage: The pop-up sprinklers are set to run at dawn.

Common in residential and commercial landscaping systems.
