Garden Irrigation in Kensington & Holland Park

Kensington and Holland Park are home to some of London's finest private gardens: large period houses with formal rear gardens, garden squares shared by residents, and the embassies and residences of Kensington Palace Gardens. Irrigarden designs, installs and maintains bespoke irrigation systems for all of them.

Discreet installation in conservation areas

Much of Kensington and Holland Park sits in conservation areas, and many gardens are only reachable through the house. We plan the installation carefully: pipework is buried or hidden under paving, lawns are cut and relaid neatly, and controllers are placed out of sight. Where a building project is under way, we coordinate with the architect and contractor so that the irrigation goes in at the right stage.

Watering through hosepipe bans

Even the Royal Borough's own parks have had to cut back watering during the 2026 hosepipe ban. A fixed drip system with a pressure-reducing valve and a timer can keep borders, hedges and trees alive within the drip irrigation exception for domestic premises — read our hosepipe ban guide.
