Projects

There are a range of designs and makes of controllers across numerous reputable companies that can cater to your property’s exact needs.

We select a controller that fits your irrigation system needs during design, with the necessary elements covered and options presented where budget allows.

The number of outlets a station can effectively provide, and station numbers required for the completed system are directly proportionate to the water supply available to the site, measured in Litres Per Minute (Lpm).

If a station exceeds the available water flow, the heads will not operate properly, resulting in coverage issues.

An actionable quote is gladly provided upon request, free of charge, provided that a system design is not required. A service professional will visit and assess the relevant site to:

• Take water pressure measurements and pump specifications where applicable;
• Plan potential access runs for necessary services, both pipe-working and electrical, including access for running services beneath hard surfaces;
• Take head placement measurements and necessary part listings.

This information is then assessed and a quote is put together and sent through for assessment. If the on-site visit requires any work to be completed, likely if the tools are out, there might be a service charge, depending on the service provided. This is always discussed prior to any work being completed and charged.

Once finalised, any quote prices agreed upon will be honoured. In rare circumstances where situations could not be reasonably predicted, surcharges may be discussed, always prior to further action.

Due to the varied nature of a properties watering distribution, spray coverage must be custom designed in order to be effective. The range of parts used and nature of the install itself can also widely vary by individual needs, leaving an on-site inspection the only effective method of cost estimation.

Due to the increased watering demand posed by agriculture and livestock watering, a bore water supply will likely be necessary, along with a water licence if irrigating land equal or greater than 0.2 ha (1/2 an acre). These factors will likely play into the final cost of your system and must be considered before a design can be finalised and presented.

Contact us to discuss your irrigation system design and budget.

Due to the varied nature of garden and lawn layouts, spray coverage must be custom designed to be effective. The range of parts used and nature of the install itself can also widely vary by individual need, leaving an onsite inspection the only effective method of cost estimation.

We provide a complete explanation of the system’s entirety and run all interested parties through the various functions and settings of both the controller and stations subject to it, and for larger systems we do an on-site walk-through and handover.

A sheet with station information and our contact information will be present on the door of any controller we install for future follow up or query.

Although products used may vary across different tasks, our chosen product supplies are predominantly made up of the Hunter™ sprinkler range, recognised as the market leader in sprinkler innovation. Other reputable examples include, but are not limited to, Toro™, Philmac™ and Weathermatic™.

You should set your system to water on your scheduled days. The optimum watering time is in the early morning. This allows the water to reach the roots without being evaporated or blown away. It’s also effective in preventing fungus or disease that is often caused by water sitting overnight on plants.

We recommend you contact us directly so we can provide advice specific to your situation.

‍In general, most commercial or large properties in proclaimed areas (from the Hills line to the Coast) need a licence to drill and utilise the bore. If you are doing any of the following you’ll most likely need a groundwater licence to take water:

• Irrigating more than 1/2 an acre (2,000 square meters)
• Using the bore for commercial activity (feedlots, agriculture, construction, etc)
• Looking to utilise an aquifer deeper than the Superficial aquifer (bores generally deeper than 30 metres)

‍

Another type of licence is a 26D licence to drill a borehole, which you need in case you are:

• Using the bore for commercial activity
• Looking to drill into a confined or semi-confined aquifer (bores generally deeper than 60 metres)

To ensure you are compliant with the legislation applicable to you, contact us so we can assess your property and give you specific advice for your situation.

We disconnect the existing system from the mains or previous water supply, and simply change its water source to the new bore, connected by the piping system. The controller can be rewired to the new box. This is a simple turn-key solution that we carry out in most integration systems.

Most of our consultations and quotes are free of charge. We conduct consultation with you, generally on site, to get to know you and understand your water needs, then provide a free quote.

In some cases, specialised research, testing or designing is required before we can provide a formal quote for the works. This includes bore drilling consultations and irrigation where a large system design is required. In these cases, we will discuss the costs of these services before doing anything, and if you’d like to go ahead, we can help you get a comprehensive solution, tailored to your needs.
