Irrigation – Design and Installation
This activity represents a central pillar among all landscaping works as it beautifies and brings life in our environments. As a specialist garden design company, we offer complete garden design services and bespoke garden creation that adapt to every style and need.
Design, calculations and installation of new watering systems
In the Mediterranean climate it is almost essential to equip the garden with an adequate irrigation system. Due to climate changes, this need extends to other regions, especially during periods of heat and drought. That is why we equip our gardens with automatic irrigation systems, which we always adapt to the needs of the plants in question. Moreover, before designing a garden, we analyze the plant species suitable for the site, taking into account the quality and available water resources.
There are many ways to install a garden irrigation system, we always look for a system that responds to the needs of the landscape and that is as discreet as possible not to disturb the garden views. Some types of irrigation and their control are given below.
Types of irrigation
- Sprinkler irrigation with rotating heads
- Sprinkler irrigation with spray heads
- Drip irrigation, integrated drip tube
- Controllers and solenoid valves, automatic central irrigation control, rain sensors, intelligent systems that automatically adjust irrigation times
- Irrigation sensors for rain, solar radiation, flow rate – leak detectors
- Filtration systems for irrigation: ring, mesh and sand filters, filters with a backwash system
- Fertigation systems to fertilize plants through irrigation
Irrigation project
Our clients get a complete irrigation project consisting of:
- A detailed 2D drawing with a description of used components
- Schemes of irrigation devices, irrigation calculations justifying the design, evaluation of pressure losses
- Customized user maintenance manual, water and energy consumption and optimal watering times
- Tips on saving water and energy by the irrigation system
Modernization (retrofitting) existing and obsolete irrigation systems
Irrigation devices and parts are constantly being developed and their innovative properties allow to save more and more water. As the price of water tends to rise, water saving is becoming increasingly fashionable, not to mention the ecological reasons.
A thorough overhaul, however, in many cases, just a simple inexpensive repair or correct adjustment of the system may bring surprising results. The side effect of such adjustments is additional savings on electricity bills. This is precisely what we do, the procedure consists of:
- Examine the system, irrigation emitters, pumps, pipes, valves, fittings and other components.
- Detect possible leaks and repair them
- Check adjustments of irrigation times
- Work out a study on how additional savings can be achieved and quantify the savings in money
- Create a customized list of water and energy saving tips for the irrigation system
There is more information on irrigation and water savings topics in our irrigation and applications section of our book.
