Irrigation Systems by Four Seasons Garden Care
Four Seasons Garden Care provides comprehensive irrigation solutions from system design to installation and maintenance.
Our systems range from simple battery-powered setups for small gardens to advanced multi-zone intelligent control systems equipped with pump and tank for larger landscapes and commercial properties.
We tailor each system to meet the unique needs of your garden, ensuring careful design focused on maximum efficiency. Our expertise lies in installing high-performance, water-efficient systems built for long-term reliability.
Quality components from brands such as Hunter, Rain Bird, Geka, Claber, and Hozelock are used to ensure durability and reliable operation. Controllers can be equipped with remote access and weather-based scheduling features for water conservation.
Garden Survey & System Design
An on-site assessment evaluates the landscape, plant types, and client requirements. The design process considers the garden’s size, shape, plant requirements, available water pressure, and usage patterns. The goal is to create a system that provides effective water coverage and operates efficiently. Each plan is customised to the specific characteristics of the site, aiming for reliability, longevity, and optimal performance.
System Installation
The company offers installation services for various types of watering systems including drip and spray irrigation.
Drip irrigation delivers water slowly and directly to the plant’s root zone, minimising water loss through evaporation or runoff and promoting efficient soil moisture absorption. It can be installed under high or low pressure, depending on site requirements.
Spray irrigation uses pop-up sprinklers and micro-sprinklers to provide even coverage across lawns and flower beds. Particular attention is given to head placement and spray patterns to prevent dry spots and ensure uniform watering.
After the installation works, the ground surface is restored neatly and turf is carefully replaced to maintain the desired landscape’s appearance.
