Irrigation System Installation

What are the first steps?

Every garden is different, hence every irrigation system is different. We are really sorry, but cannot give even a rough estimate without a survey.

The good news is: our surveys are free in our service area (see details on the booking page). Just book an appointment and one of our friendly engineers will be with you that time to learn your demands and take some measurements.

This is the right time to rethink your ideas as well. A well-designed system give answer for all your actual needs but there is a chance to make it expandable for later extensions. To avoid a costly extension, it’s better to get a controller with some extra capacity at the beginning.

Within a few days we will send you an estimate and call you to discuss if any changes are necessary.

Installation process

Irrigation systems can be compared to electric network. But they are built in your soil not in your house wall. There are much more hidden, then visible.

When we come up with installation of hidden parts, we mostly talking about pipes and pipes. Pipes connect the water source with different parts of the garden. Between them, there are distribution units to help dividing the available water pressure and flow among different parts of your garden.

Of course we don’t want to turn over your whole garden during the installation process because our main goal to establish a base of a nice garden with irrigation. So wherever it’s possible, pipework will be laid on the surface, invisibly. At bottom of matured hedges, fences, behind sheds and houses, the pipes don’t run in trenches.

But if there is no way to avoid we have to dig trenches. Feel free to have a look on the picture here. This is the way how we make trenches. And when the pipes are laid, the trenches will be covered and compacted. Our price includes recovery by seeding but we are ready to lay turf on the trace in case of demand.

Learn Your System

Irrigation systems know much more than you think. Stepping up from hoses to irrigation systems is like changing your dial phone with a smart phone.

Controller is the brain of your system. Nowadays they can be connected to the web and use actual and forecasted weather information to adapt the start and length of irrigation programs to the weather conditions. It’s not an extra hype but a very convenient way of saving the valuable water by up to 50%, in interest of the planet and your wallet.

You don’t have to fear of programming as the controllers installed by us have very intuitive and easy-to-use operating software. If you are still not confident, we can offer you our monitoring service via internet in our Optimum Plus Service Plan.
When your system is supplied with local freeze, wind, soil, rain or evaporation sensors, the program becomes more accurate.

Other parts of an irrigation system are also impressive. Water flow of lawn or bed sprinklers can be reduced or increased from head-by-head by replacing their nozzles (within some limitations). It makes possible to tailor the system to the changing and growing up garden during the years.
It’s also true for the planter emitters. Those bubblers can be adapted to any water demand anytime.
Beds or even part of the beds can be isolated temporarily in case of such a demand (for example when some veggie beds are not planted for longer).

There are some adjustments that can be done by you but you can let us to do them for you. Stay informed regarding these techniques via our Facebook page.

When you are fully aware of your system after the first season you will find your irrigation system an extremely useful thing in keeping your plants in the best condition.
