Frequently asked questions
Irrigation Systems Gauteng | Installation & Repairs questions
How much does an irrigation system cost?
A small manual system starts from about R8,500 and a small automatic system from about R14,500. Final pricing depends on pressure, zones, trenching and controls.
Can you repair an existing system?
Yes. We diagnose leaking pipes, damaged heads, valves, wiring, controllers, low pressure and uneven coverage.
Do you install Wi-Fi controllers?
Yes, where the controller and site are compatible.
Can a system use a tank or borehole?
Yes, provided the pump, filtration, flow and pressure are suitable. Specialist connections are quoted separately.
Will installation damage the lawn?
Trenching is required. Turf is lifted and reinstated where practical, but lines may remain visible temporarily while the lawn recovers.
