Drip lines, sprinklers and smart controllers help you give every plant exactly what it needs. Here is how to choose the right system.
Irrigation is the biggest running cost of any garden — and the secret behind its colour. Good planning gets you both.
Split the garden into zones
Every type of planting has different needs, so we divide the network into independent zones: lawns, trees, shrubs and flower beds.
Drip for trees and shrubs
Water goes straight to the root zone, cutting losses to evaporation and run-off.
Sprinklers for lawns
Pop-up sprinklers cover lawns evenly and disappear into the ground when they are off.
A smart controller
Schedule watering for early morning or after sunset, and link moisture or rain sensors to skip cycles that are not needed.
Routine maintenance
Regular checks of heads and lines catch leaks early and keep the system efficient.
