What's Involved

Watering that works without you thinking about it

A well-designed irrigation system does more than keep plants alive — it delivers the right amount of water to each zone at the right time, reducing waste and preventing the overwatering and underwatering that kills gardens slowly. We design every system around your specific garden: lawn areas get pop-up spray heads, garden beds get drip lines, and established trees get deep-root bubblers where needed.

Every system is zoned so that different plant types receive different watering schedules. Lawn zones run separately from garden bed zones, and shade areas are programmed differently from full-sun beds. We install smart controllers with rain sensors as standard, so the system skips cycles when it rains and adjusts to seasonal conditions. Once we hand it over, you should never need to think about watering again.

Materials & Approach

Properly zoned systems built to last

✦On-site assessment of garden layout, soil type, sun exposure and water pressure
✦Custom zone design — lawn, garden beds, hedges and trees watered separately
✦Drip irrigation for garden beds and hedges, spray heads for lawn areas
✦Smart controller with rain sensor included — Wi-Fi enabled for phone control
✦Quality fittings: Hunter, Rain Bird or Toro components throughout
✦All lines pressure-tested and system programmed before handover
✦Coordinates with turf, planting and garden bed installation for seamless results

FAQ

Irrigation questions

How much does an irrigation system cost?
Irrigation systems start from around $800. A standard garden system typically runs $800 to $1,500 depending on the number of zones and heads required. Larger properties with multiple garden beds, lawn areas and established planting usually fall between $1,500 and $2,500. Smart controllers with rain sensors are included as standard.
What is the difference between drip and spray irrigation?
Drip irrigation delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone through emitters — ideal for garden beds, hedges and established planting. Spray systems cover broader areas with fine droplets and are better suited to lawns and open ground cover. Most gardens benefit from a combination of both, zoned separately so each area gets the right amount of water at the right time.
Do you install smart controllers?
Yes. We install smart controllers with rain sensors as standard on all our systems. These automatically skip watering when it has rained or is about to rain, saving water and preventing overwatering. Wi-Fi enabled controllers let you adjust schedules from your phone. We set everything up and program the zones before we leave so the system is ready to go from day one.
Do you install irrigation with new turf?
Absolutely — and it is the ideal time to do it. Installing irrigation before turf goes down means we can lay supply lines and sprinkler heads without disturbing established lawn. We coordinate the irrigation install with turf laying so everything is connected and tested before handover. If you are getting new turf, adding irrigation at the same time is significantly cheaper than retrofitting later.
