Design and Construction of Irrigation Systems

Healthy lawns, thriving flower beds, and productive planting areas all depend on consistent watering. A well planned irrigation system removes the guesswork, protects your plants during dry spells, and reduces wasted water. We design and build reliable irrigation solutions for homes, businesses, and shared green spaces, tailored to the layout of your property and the needs of your soil and planting.

From small gardens to larger sites, our focus is simple, water where it is needed, when it is needed, with dependable components and clear controls. You get an irrigation setup that supports strong growth, keeps outdoor areas looking their best, and saves you time week after week.

What We Install and How It Works

Every site is different, so we select the right watering method for each zone. Lawns typically benefit from pop up sprinklers for even coverage, while borders, shrubs, and hedges often do better with drip lines that deliver water directly to the roots. We can also include dedicated watering for new trees, planters, and greenhouse style beds where consistency matters most.

System options

  • Sprinkler irrigation for lawns and open turf areas, designed to avoid overspray onto paving and walls.
  • Drip irrigation for beds and planting lines, helping reduce evaporation and limiting weed growth.
  • Micro sprays and bubblers for compact planting zones and mixed borders.
  • Smart controllers with timers, rain sensors, and seasonal adjustment for efficient scheduling.
  • Zoning to separate areas by sun exposure, soil type, slope, and plant needs.

If you are also planning wider outdoor improvements, irrigation can be integrated alongside other landscaping services so watering points, trenches, and pipe routes align with patios, paths, and planting layouts.

Our Design Process, From Site Visit to Final Layout

Good irrigation starts with accurate planning. We begin with a site assessment that looks at water supply location, available pressure and flow, slope, drainage, and how your garden is used. We also note shaded areas, wind exposure, and the types of plants you want to protect, including lawns, hedges, and seasonal beds.

Steps we follow

  1. Consultation and survey, we discuss your goals, problem areas, and preferred level of automation.
  2. Zone planning, we map separate watering zones to prevent overwatering or underwatering.
  3. Component selection, we specify sprinklers, drip lines, filters, valves, and controllers suited to your conditions.
  4. Installation plan, we confirm pipe routes, depths, access points, and controller placement.
  5. Testing and calibration, we set spray patterns, adjust drip output, and program schedules.

Where properties include lawns, shrub borders, and decorative beds, our design ensures each area receives the right amount of water. This is especially important when irrigation supports ongoing garden maintenance services such as mowing, edging, and planting, because consistent moisture helps new plants establish quickly.

Professional Installation with Minimal Disruption

Our team installs systems carefully to protect existing surfaces and planting. Pipework is routed to reduce visible hardware and avoid future digging, and we keep trenches neat and reinstated properly. We install valves, manifolds, and filters in accessible locations, and we label zones so operation is straightforward.

We also pay close attention to long term reliability. That includes proper backflow prevention where required, filtration for drip systems, and pressure regulation to prevent misting and uneven coverage. When installation is complete, we walk you through how to use the controller, how to pause watering during rainy weeks, and how to adjust schedules as seasons change.

Maintenance, Repairs, and Seasonal Support

Irrigation performs best with routine checks. Over time, sprinklers can shift, drip emitters can clog, and controllers may need schedule updates. We offer maintenance and repair support to keep your system efficient and to prevent small issues from turning into costly failures.

Typical maintenance tasks

  • Spring start up, inspection, line flushing, sprinkler alignment, and controller programming.
  • Mid season adjustments, tuning zones for heat, wind, or new planting.
  • Leak detection and repairs, fixing cracked fittings, damaged lines, and faulty valves.
  • Winter preparation, draining and protecting pipework to reduce frost damage.

If you manage a larger site, we can coordinate irrigation upkeep with broader commercial landscaping services to ensure lawns, beds, and outdoor areas stay presentable with consistent watering and minimal waste.

Why Choose a Custom Irrigation System

A custom designed system is more than convenience. It protects your investment in plants, helps reduce water usage through targeted delivery, and supports healthier soil by avoiding constant surface wetting. For busy households and commercial properties alike, automated watering keeps landscapes resilient during hot spells and travel periods, while still allowing easy manual control when needed.

Whether you are starting from a blank garden, improving an existing layout, or upgrading an older setup, we will plan and install an irrigation system that matches your property, your planting, and your expectations for reliability and ease of use.

FAQ

How do I know if my water pressure is enough for an irrigation system?

We test flow rate and pressure during the site survey and then design zones to match what your supply can deliver. If pressure is low, we can use drip irrigation, smaller zones, or pressure regulated components. This prevents weak coverage and uneven watering.

Can you add irrigation to an existing garden without ruining the lawn or beds?

Yes, we plan pipe routes to minimise disturbance and reinstate turf and planting areas carefully after trenching. In some cases we can use narrow trenching methods or route lines along borders. We also calibrate sprinklers to avoid spraying paths and patios.

How often should an irrigation system be serviced?

Most systems benefit from a spring start up check and a winter shutdown or protection visit. During summer, a mid season adjustment helps optimise schedules for heat and rainfall. Regular servicing reduces leaks, clogged emitters, and wasted water.
