Anyone CAN do irrigation…

26/5/2020

​Efficient and properly installed irrigation systems are extremely undervalued.  Especially, if the installation cost is not measured against the lifetime expectancy (up to 15 years) and the additional benefits of a quality system.
An efficient irrigation system: 

  • keeps your lawn and gardens healthy, vibrant, and beautiful
  • uses quality materials to reduce risk of fault and maintenance costs
  • has good coverage with the right number of sprinklers per zone and right type for application preventing any uneven watering
  • is environmentally friendly
  • helps you save money by lowering your water bills
  • reduces weeds and plant diseases
  • is convenient and saves you the time and trouble of watering by hand
  • can be scheduled to water your property at the ideal time of day
  • gives the flexibility to water while you are away from home
  • increases the value of your home
 
When considering quotes, we suggest that you compare apples with apples. 

Firstly, look at whether the installers have:
  • qualifications in irrigation installation, therefore, a proper understanding of water pressure, water volume, application rates, flow rates, irrigation scheduling, sprinkler types and purpose
  • industry experience
  • a reputable business or service
  • a good level of turf and plant knowledge
 
Secondly, collate the details of the proposed irrigation systems, like:
  • the brand and type of controller
  • the number of stations/zones
  • the number and types of sprinklers
 
If you are planning to install the irrigation system yourself, we would suggest that you:
  • research and design your landscape project, including the placement of any gardens, paths, current/future pool or shed
  • work to a plan (an irrigation shop can help with this)
  • purchase quality materials from an irrigation shop (rather than a big box retailer)
 
An automatic irrigation system is the most efficient way to ensure that your lawn and gardens gets the water it needs without over or under-watering. 
 
Whilst paying more doesn’t always mean better, we challenge you to ponder that you do sometimes get exactly what you pay for. 

Yes, anyone CAN do irrigation… but can they do it well?
