Irrigation questions we get asked
Drip for beds, sprinklers for lawn. Drip puts the water at the roots and loses less to wind.
Yes. We trench between the plants and close up behind us.
A controller waters early in the morning whether you're home or not, and skips a day when it rains.
Yes. We fit a pump sized for the system.
The City of Cape Town's rules change with the dam levels. We check them before we install.
That depends on the soil and the plants. We set the times and show you how to change them.
Usually a faulty solenoid valve or a cut wire.
Blocked nozzles, or sprinklers spaced too far apart.
A leaking pipe or a valve that doesn't close. We test each zone to find it.
