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 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.
