When to book

Signs your garden needs irrigation help

If you've just moved in or have never had the system looked at, start with a coverage check. It shows which parts of the garden the water reaches and which parts it misses.

Good times to book

  • Beds, hedges or parts of the lawn dry out unevenly even though the water's on.
  • Your drip or sprinkler system needs a check, a repair or some improving.
  • Paths, driveways or walls get wet while the plants beside them stay dry.
  • New planting or an established garden needs its watering sorted before the hot weather.

Extra details for irrigation

Send photos of the dry or soggy spots. Add your suburb, the type of system if you know it, where the water supply is and whether the planting or mulch has changed lately.

Dry garden checks

When the garden stays dry after watering

Running the irrigation for longer won't always fix dry beds, a patchy lawn or stressed hedges. When we check a system, we look at the coverage as well as the soil, mulch and plants around it.

Dry beds after watering

Blocked emitters are one cause. Others are shallow watering, soil that sheds water and thin mulch. Sometimes thirsty plants share a zone with plants that need much less.

Patchy lawn or uneven colour

A patchy lawn might be missing out on sprinkler coverage. It could also be compacted soil, shade or poor drainage. Pests, or mowing too low, can cause patches as well. Check the sprinklers before you decide the lawn needs replacing.

Wet paths and dry plants

Water that lands on the paths, the driveway or the walls isn't reaching the roots. We look at where the nozzles point, the pressure, how long each zone runs and where the plants sit.

New planting under stress

New plants need their watering checked more often while the roots settle in. The rest of the garden can stay on its normal schedule, and good mulch and soil prep help each new bed along.

Step 1

Look at what the garden shows you

Dry beds, a patchy lawn and wet paths can all be signs of a watering problem. So can parts of the garden that bounce back after rain when the rest doesn't. It's worth checking for blocked emitters too.

Step 2

Match watering to soil, mulch and planting

Watering works best when it suits the soil, the mulch depth, the slope and the shade. What's planted, and how you use the garden, matter too.

Step 3

Treat watering as part of garden care

How low the lawn's cut and how the beds are pruned, weeded and mulched all change how much water a garden needs. So it makes sense to look at them when you look at the system.

Where we check irrigation

We check and fix irrigation in Brookfield, Kenmore, Fig Tree Pocket, Indooroopilly, Toowong, Taringa, St Lucia, Ascot, Hawthorne, Balmoral, New Farm and Teneriffe.

Common problems

Garden problems we can help with

Dry beds and uneven watering

When some Brisbane garden beds stay dry with the water on, we check the irrigation for blocked emitters, overspray and gaps in coverage.

Seasonal catch up before the growth spurt

We plan the mowing, hedge trimming, pruning and weeding around Brisbane's year, with summer growth, an autumn tidy and winter pruning.

Spring jobs before summer growth

In a Brisbane spring we catch up on the mowing, edging, weeds and hedges before summer growth starts, and regular visits can keep it there.

Garden clean up after storms

After a Brisbane storm, we clear the fallen leaves and green waste first, then mow, prune damaged shrubs and check the irrigation if heavy rain showed up dry or soggy spots.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you handle irrigation repairs and checks?

Yes. We set up, check, maintain and repair systems. That includes dry beds, blocked emitters, overspray and patchy coverage.

Can you set up irrigation for new garden beds?

Yes. We can put in a new drip or sprinkler system, or change the one you've got so the new plants get watered.

Can irrigation checks be part of my regular garden visits?

They can. Irrigation checks are part of garden maintenance, so we can look at the system while we're there for the lawn and beds.
