Verdant planting, lush green lawns and flower filled beds are the aim of many landscape projects, yet in many cases they cannot be reliably achieved without landscape irrigation.

Landscape irrigation systems provide water to plants in a timely manner, speeding up establishment and providing mature looking landscapes more quickly. Landscape irrigation reduces plant losses and helps plants cope with difficult conditions, especially in hostile environments such as town centres and green roofs. Modern landscape irrigation systems are also designed to minimise water wastage and can be coupled with rainwater harvesting systems to maximise their green credentials.

Although the need for landscaped irrigation is most acute during dry weather, especially during the height of Summer, this is not the only time landscape irrigation is used. During the planting and establishment phase, new plants have to cope with high levels of stress. The cost of specimens may run into tens of thousands of pounds, so it makes sense to protect them with a properly designed landscape irrigation system. If thought of as an insurance policy, landscape irrigation is excellent value, but what other insurance policy actually enhances the items it is protecting? Time after time, clients comment on the speed at which the planting matures – far faster than in systems without landscape irrigation.

Once the establishment phase is complete, landscape irrigation provides an ongoing service, helping plants recover from human traffic and assisting planting in difficult environments. In hot dry spells, the landscape irrigation will prevent lasting damage occurring to the planting. Although lawns may die back and recover, planted borders often do not – but a landscape irrigation system will keep these plants alive using ultra efficient drip irrigation.

Landscape irrigation for lawns

A lush green lawn not only looks vibrant, but it copes better with heavy use. Pop-up sprinklers, hidden in the lawn, rise up at dawn and water the lawn areas, ensuring efficient and even watering. When first planted, landscape irrigation is vital for establishment.

Landscape watering for borders

Shrubs and plants are expensive, so it make sense to protect that investment with an irrigation system. In addition, irrigation will ensure faster establishment of the planting and ensure that the plants do not suffer during dry weather.

Tree irrigation

For trees, transplanting is a highly stressful experience, especially if they are placed in hostile environments such as town centre planting schemes. In addition, even a modestly sized tree requires a large amount of water. A tree irrigation system will ensure that the tree receives water, and if necessary nutrients, during the critical establishemnt phase. For trees planted in tree pits, the irrigation can provide a continuing source of water, allowing the tree to thrive.
