Irrigation for Melbourne lawns and gardens

Drip and pop-up irrigation for lawns and gardens, including new systems, repairs and changes to existing equipment. We consider the planting, lawn, water supply and other garden work you have planned.

What we do

Watering a new lawn or planted garden

A lawn and a planted garden can need different watering arrangements. We discuss the areas to cover, the existing supply and equipment, and the plants or turf being installed before planning the irrigation work.

Drip irrigation, pop-up sprinklers and controller options are considered for the site. A controller with weather features can adjust watering for changing conditions. The result depends on the existing system, settings and use.

When irrigation is part of a garden renovation, it helps to plan it before the new lawn, paths or planting are finished. Existing trees and the route for pipes also need to be considered. You can arrange irrigation work on its own or coordinate it with other agreed landscaping.

The standard process.

Step 01

Show us the garden

Tell us which areas need watering, what is already installed and any problems you have noticed.

Step 02

Assess and quote

We review the water supply, garden layout and equipment before quoting the proposed system or repair.

Step 03

Coordinate the installation

The installation is planned around access, retained planting and any other agreed garden work.

Step 04

Test and explain the controls

The agreed system is tested and its operation discussed, including settings suited to the garden and applicable watering requirements.

FAQs

The questions we get most.

The garden size, number of watering areas, water supply, equipment and access affect the quote. Repairing existing equipment is assessed separately from installing a new system.

Yes. Send photos and describe the fault, such as leaking pipework, damaged sprinklers or a controller problem. We assess what can be repaired and whether other changes are needed.

Yes. Planning the two together helps establish the pipework and watering arrangements before the turf is laid.

The available pressure, flow and connection requirements need to be checked for the proposed system. Required plumbing work should be identified before the installation is agreed.

The result depends on the existing setup, weather, settings and how the garden is watered. We can discuss suitable controls, but a particular bill saving or payback period is not guaranteed.
