Most garden irrigation is sold by people who understand pipework, not plants. Good Irrigation is built by someone who understands both.
For more than 20 years, Simon has worked as a hydropower sustainability consultant, advising on water infrastructure projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and beyond. That work is about the same thing at every scale: understanding how water actually moves through a system, under pressure, over time, and what happens when the rules governing it change.
Sussex's hosepipe bans are a much smaller version of a problem Simon has spent his career on: matching a water system to the rules that govern it, not just to what looks reasonable. Most irrigation installed in home gardens is designed for convenience — it was never checked against the actual wording water companies use to decide what's exempt from a ban. Good Irrigation exists to close that gap: proper water engineering, applied to something as ordinary as a garden border.
Good Irrigation operates as a sister company to The Good Gardener, the Brighton & Hove gardening business Simon also founded. Same local roots and the same standard of work — just a specialist focus on the one part of a garden that's now genuinely regulated.
