Irrigation systems
Save water by automating your garden irrigation
Install separate irrigation zones for the flower beds and for the grass. Grass will not die if left without water over winter whereas areas of the garden may need constant water.
Risers are used for flower beds to allow the water to spray above the plant level.
Micro misters are used for narrow beds and to cover difficult to reach areas in the flower beds.
Pop-up sprinklers are typically used for grass areas as they disappear when not in use.
Manual irrigation systems are cheaper to install but require the separate taps to be switched on and off every 8 / 10 minutes.
An automated irrigation system is driven by a controller and solenoids (electronic taps) which switch on and off at pre-determined intervals and without human intervention. This enables you to control the time that the irrigation switches on and off to avoid watering in the heat of the day.
Our landscaper will measure the property and prepare an irrigation plan.
The automated controller is an optional extra. Other optional items include rain sensors, which switch off the system when its raining, and water tanks with pressure pumps, which increase water pressure and reduce the number of zones. The tanks can also be used as a water backup system in the event of an outage.
This service is only provided in areas within 40km from our premises in Honeydew. We go as far as Soweto in the South, Midrand in the North, Bedfordview in the East, and Krugersdorp in the West.
