You don't want to think about watering. That's the point.

Most people don't want to know about emitters, pipe sizes or pump curves — they want their garden to look after itself.

"I don't want to water my garden by hand every evening."
"I'm going away for three weeks — the pots will be dead by the time I'm back."
"My plants keep dying and I don't know why."
"I've got a huge garden and no time to keep on top of it."
"I don't want to waste water — or my water bill."
"What actually happens to my garden when there's a hosepipe ban?"

Three ways to get your garden watered automatically

Every system starts with a free assessment — we design around your garden, then give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Capture rain. Store it. Water your garden with it.

A roof, a tank, and a pump can supply a genuine share of your garden's water — and it's yours to use without the restrictions that apply to mains water.

What actually happens during a hosepipe ban?

The rules aren't one universal standard — each water company sets its own conditions for what's still allowed. We design systems around your supplier's actual rules, not a generic claim.

Irrigation designed by gardeners, not plumbers.

An irrigation installer knows pumps and pipework. As a sister company to The Good Gardener, we also know what plants actually need — how hedges behave, how newly planted shrubs differ from established borders, how pots dry out faster than beds, and how demand changes through the seasons. We design irrigation around your garden, not just the easiest way to run a pipe.

Common questions

Often yes — most water companies allow an approved drip or trickle system that isn't handheld, has a pressure-reducing valve and a timer, and delivers water directly to the soil without spray or run-off. The exact wording varies by supplier, so we check your specific water company's rules as part of your assessment rather than assuming one blanket answer.

It depends entirely on your garden's size and layout, which is why we quote after a free assessment rather than publishing a fixed price list. As a guide, systems typically start from £750 installed.

Yes — that's one of the most common reasons people get a system installed. A timer-controlled system waters on schedule whether you're home or not, and can be adjusted remotely on smart controller models.

For a garden of any real size, a stored-rainwater system can supply a meaningful share of your watering needs, and it sits outside mains water restrictions entirely. We'll size a system to your actual roof area and garden demand as part of your assessment, rather than guessing.
