Hampstead and Highgate are known for larger gardens than most of London: long lawns, mature trees, sloping plots and wildlife-friendly planting. Watering a garden like this by hand is a full-time job. Irrigarden designs automatic irrigation systems that water each part of the garden according to its needs.

## Systems for larger gardens

- **Lawns** watered by pop-up sprinklers that disappear into the turf when not in use
- **Borders, hedges and new trees** on drip lines, delivering water directly to the roots
- **Sloping gardens** zoned so that water does not run off down the hill
- **Rainwater harvesting** tanks to reduce mains water use
- **Smart controllers** with weather adjustment and rain delay

## New gardens and renovations

If you are building or renovating, the best time to plan irrigation is before the landscaping is finished. We work alongside your [architect and garden designer](https://irrigarden2.abstract27.com/landscaping/) so that pipework and cables are laid at the right stage.

## FAQ

### Will an irrigation system harm mature trees?

No — we route trenches to avoid root zones and use drip irrigation around established trees.

### Can the system run during a hosepipe ban?

Sprinklers cannot run under the Thames Water ban, but compliant fixed drip zones may. See our [hosepipe ban guide](https://irrigarden2.abstract27.com/hosepipe-ban-drip-irrigation/).
