New Irrigation System Installation
Every garden has different watering requirements. Lawns need even sprinkler coverage, while flower beds, hedges, vegetable gardens and pots often perform better with drip irrigation or micro-sprayers.
We install:
- Manual tap-operated irrigation systems
- Fully automatic irrigation systems
- Pop-up lawn sprinklers
- Rotary sprinklers for larger lawns
- Drip irrigation for flower beds and hedges
- Micro-irrigation for pots and specialised planting
- Multi-zone residential and commercial systems
- Wi-Fi and app-controlled irrigation
- Rain and soil-moisture sensors
- Pressure-regulated sprinklers and valves
A proper pressure and flow test should be completed before the number of zones is finalised.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an irrigation system cost in Gauteng?
Small automatic residential systems generally start at approximately R12,000. Medium multi-zone systems normally range from R22,000 to R48,000, while large or smart systems can exceed R45,000. A site assessment is required for an accurate quotation.
Can you repair an existing irrigation system?
Yes. We repair leaks, pipes, sprinklers, valves, wiring, controllers and low-pressure zones, and can extend or upgrade older systems.
Do you install Wi-Fi irrigation controllers?
Yes. Wi-Fi controllers allow customers to adjust schedules and operate compatible systems from a smartphone.
Can irrigation be connected to a JoJo tank or borehole?
Yes, provided the pump, pressure, filtration and available water supply are suitable for the proposed system.
How long does installation take?
A small residential system may take one to two working days. Larger multi-zone systems can take several days, depending on trenching, access and reinstatement.
Will installing irrigation damage my lawn?
Some trenching is necessary. The turf is lifted where practical and reinstated after the pipes have been installed. Temporary trench lines may remain visible until the grass recovers.
