Irrigation Design Advice FAQ's

The time it takes our team to complete a design varies depending on the complexity of the plan. Our team have been trained to the highest of standards by industry leaders and follow best practices to ensure every project completed is effective and efficient with water use. Achieving a finished irrigation design plan requires a thorough process that can take some time to complete.

During our peak period (April-July), the usual wait times are between 2 – 4 calendar weeks to receive a completed design. 

Having a firm plan in place before beginning your irrigation installation is essential. Failure to plan could result in you purchasing an expensive system that does not perform as expected. Creating a plan will ensure you consider crucial aspects of the system, such as available flow rate and pressure, and helps to identify required zoning and pipe sizing.

This question is difficult to answer, as many factors can influence a system’s cost. Smaller gardens will usually end up costing less than more extensive gardens. However, unusually shaped gardens may require more sprinklers and, therefore, cost more. To avoid disappointment, we recommend the following budgets.

Micro Irrigation Systems 

Small Gardens - £100 - £500
Large Gardens - £500 - £1500

Pop-Up Sprinkler Systems 

Small Gardens - £800 - £1500
Large Gardens - £1500 - £4000 

We recommend having our team complete a full design for you to get an accurate cost for your garden.

For our team to accurately design an irrigation system, they first gather the necessary information, including the details of the water source performance and a detailed scale drawing of the area that requires irrigation. Our designers will then overlay the location of any irrigation emitters onto the drawing, including pop-up sprinklers and micro irrigation. Once the emitters are chosen and placed, the designer will use the water source information to determine the required zones for the optimal performance of the emitters. Once the zoning has been identified, details such as the necessary pipe sizing are calculated. The final step for the designer is to create a shopping list of all the components needed for installation.

In short, yes. All the information is required for the designers to complete a design in full, so they will not begin if it is not present. We will let you know if we require more information when you have submitted a request.

A water pressure measurement is not as crucial for micro irrigation systems. We assume it will be connected to a mains-supplied water source with at least 1 BAR pressure - the minimum required pressure for satisfactory performance of a micro irrigation system. If you have any doubt, speak to our team and they can assist you.

Please don’t. Trying to guess the water pressure from your water source is like trying to guess the weight of an elephant; you’re probably going to get it wrong! The same goes for the dimensions of your garden or the flow rate. If you submit inaccurate information to our designers, you will get a flawed plan and, ultimately, a system that will fail to perform as expected.
