Introduction
A well-groomed and green lawn is the dream of many garden owners. An important prerequisite for this is sufficient watering. But often there is not enough time to water the lawn regularly, or you simply forget to do it. An automatic lawn watering system offers a solution here. This allows you to water the lawn automatically and specifically, without having to think about it yourself. In this article, we will look at the topic of automatic lawn irrigation and address questions such as “What does automatic garden irrigation cost?”, “Which irrigation system is best?” and “What do I need for automatic garden irrigation?”. We will also introduce the different types of irrigation systems such as Hunter irrigation and Rainbird irrigation. Let’s start by looking at what is needed for automatic lawn irrigation.
Why is automatic irrigation important for your garden
Automatic irrigation is important for your garden because it ensures that your plants and lawn get enough water. Without an automatic watering system, you will have to water your garden by hand, which takes time and effort. Especially in hot weather or when you travel, it can be difficult to water your garden regularly. An automatic watering system allows you to precisely control your garden’s water needs and ensure that it receives enough water without you having to constantly pay attention to it.
Another advantage of automatic irrigation is that it saves time and water. Since it is automatically controlled, you can adjust the irrigation to the actual needs of your garden and avoid unnecessary watering. Not only can this save you money, but it can also help reduce the environmental impact of excessive watering. With automatic watering, you can also ensure that your plants and lawn are always receiving optimal care. When you water manually, there is always a risk that you will either use too little or too much water. Automatic watering ensures that your plants and lawn always get the right amount of water to stay healthy and strong. Overall, automatic irrigation offers many benefits to your garden. It makes maintenance easier, saves time and water, and ensures that your plants and lawn always get the best care. Our company offers to design and install irrigation for your garden, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

The cost of automatic garden watering
Average costs for different types of irrigation systems
The cost of an automatic irrigation system can vary greatly depending on the size and type of garden and the desired range of functions. On average, the cost of a simple system, which only includes basic watering of the lawn and some plant areas, is around 1.000 to 2.000 euros.
However, if you want special features such as individual watering time control for different areas of the garden, rain and moisture sensors, or a connection to a smart home system, the cost can also be significantly higher, up to 5.000 euros or more. A cheaper alternative to a fully automatic irrigation system is a semi-automatic irrigation system, which requires you to manually turn the irrigation on and off. On average, these cost between 500 to 1000 euros. It should also be taken into account that the cost of installation and maintenance of the system can be added. Professional design and installation by us, will help you save money and ensure that the system works optimally.
How to calculate the cost of an irrigation system
The cost of an irrigation system can vary depending on the size and scope of the garden, as well as the desired functions and features of the system. However, a rough calculation of the cost can be made based on the following factors:
- Size of the garden: the larger the garden, the more irrigation fittings and pipes are needed, which increases the cost.
- Type of irrigation: simple manual irrigation is less expensive than automatic irrigation with programming and rain and moisture sensors.
- Equipment of the system: extra features such as a central control system, irrigation computer, different types of nozzles and sprinkler flow sensors, will increase the cost.
- Materials: Costs can vary depending on the materials used (e.g. PVC pipes cheaper than stainless steel pipes) and the manufacturer.
It is important to note that an automatic irrigation system can save you money in the long run by providing more efficient irrigation, resulting in less wasted water and higher yields when gardening. We offer custom design and consultation to find the irrigation system that is right for you and install it at a competitive price.
How to calculate the cost of an irrigation system
The cost of an irrigation system depends on a variety of factors. One important factor is the size of the garden or area to be irrigated. A large garden usually requires more equipment and materials than a small garden. Another important factor is the type of irrigation that is desired. For example, underground irrigation is usually more expensive than above ground irrigation.
Another important factor that affects cost is the type of equipment that is used. Some irrigation systems require specialized equipment such as sprinkler heads, controllers, or pop-up sprinklers. This equipment can be expensive and thus affects the cost of the irrigation system.
In summary, the cost of an irrigation system depends on several factors, such as size of the garden, type of irrigation, type of equipment and installation, and maintenance costs. To find out the exact cost, it is recommended that you contact us for a free quote.
Which irrigation system is the best?
Comparison of different types of irrigation systems (e.g. sprinklers, drippers, drip irrigation).
There are different types of irrigation systems that are suitable for different needs and requirements. Some of the most common types are:
Renger system: this type of irrigation system uses sprinklers that spray water in a specific radius. They are particularly suitable for large areas, such as lawns, and are usually easy to install and maintain.
Drip systems: This type of irrigation system uses drippers that deliver water in small amounts directly to the roots of the plants. They are particularly suitable for plants with specific water needs, for example in beds or borders. Drip systems tend to be a little more costly to install and maintain than sprinkler systems, but generally provide greater water efficiency.
Microdrip irrigation: This type of irrigation system uses drippers or small holes in hoses to deliver water directly to the roots of the plants. This type of irrigation is very water efficient and is particularly suitable for plants that are sensitive to waterlogging. It is important to consider the specific needs of your garden and plants before choosing a particular type of irrigation system. Our company will be happy to help you design and install the most suitable irrigation system for your garden.
Recommendations for the best irrigation solution for different garden shapes and sizes.
An automatic irrigation solution is the best choice for any garden owner, as it saves time and effort and ensures that the garden is always optimally watered. However, there are different types of irrigation systems that are suitable for different garden shapes and sizes. For smaller gardens, we recommend rotary sprinklers or spray sprinklers that are embedded in the ground to provide even watering.
For larger gardens, we recommend a sprinkler system with gear sprinklers, which ensures that the entire garden is watered evenly. This type of irrigation is particularly suitable for larger lawns and is also ideal for use in sports fields and golf courses.
For raised beds and other hard-to-reach areas, we recommend using drip irrigation systems. This type of irrigation is particularly suitable for plants that require finer and more precise watering.
If you are unsure which irrigation solution is best for your garden, we are happy to offer you a free consultation. We will be happy to help you plan (also possible remotely) and install the perfect irrigation solution for your garden.

What do you need for automatic garden watering?
List necessary equipment and materials (e.g., irrigation computer, sprinklers, hoses).
For the installation of automatic garden irrigation you need certain equipment and materials. These include: An irrigation computer: this controls watering times and the amount of water applied to the lawn. There are several types of irrigation computers, from simple manual timers to smart, computer-controlled systems.
Sprinklers: These devices distribute water to the lawn. There are different types of sprinklers, such as rotary and gear sprinklers, which are suitable for different areas of the garden.
Hoses: These are used to transport the water from the water source to the sprinklers. There are different types of hoses, such as rubber and PVC hoses, which are suitable for different applications. Distributors: These are used to distribute the water from one source to multiple sprinklers.
Various adapters and connectors to connect and adjust irrigation and sprinkler lines.
Tips for maintenance and care of the irrigation system
An automatic irrigation system makes maintaining your garden much easier, but it also requires regular maintenance and care to ensure it runs smoothly and maximizes its lifespan. Here are some tips for maintaining and caring for your irrigation system:
- Regularly check the nozzles and sprinklers. Make sure they are not clogged and are properly aligned.
- Make sure the timers and controls are still set properly. This will ensure that your lawn and plants are watered at the correct time and that overwatering does not occur.
- Regularly remove leaves and debris from sprinklers and other fixtures to prevent flooding.
- Have your irrigation system inspected by a professional at least once a year to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that no repairs or replacements are needed.
By following these simple steps, you can maximize the performance and life of your irrigation system and ensure that your garden is always properly watered. Our company also offers maintenance and inspection services to ensure your irrigation system is always working properly. Contact us to learn more.
Raised bed and raised bed irrigation
How to properly water raised beds
Raised beds and vegetable beds require a different type of irrigation than lawns. Because the plants in these beds are planted more densely and the soil is often made of loose material such as compost, water can move through quickly and the plants may not receive the proper amount of moisture.
One way to avoid this is to use drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to the roots of the plants. These systems can also be programmed to water the plants at specific times and intervals.
Another option is to use mulch on the bottom of the beds. Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil and prevents plants from drying out.
It is also important to check the beds regularly to make sure the plants are getting enough water. An easy way to do this is to insert a finger into the soil to check for moisture.
It is also wise to schedule watering times in the early morning or late evening when the air temperature is lower and less water evaporates. An automatic watering system can be a big help in making sure your raised beds and vegetable patches get the right amount of water, especially if you are on vacation or simply forgot to water.
Legal requirements and regulations
Information on water rights and restrictions
Water rights and restrictions are an important issue, especially in areas with water scarcity or high population densities. It is important that individuals take their responsibility to use water carefully to ensure that it is available in sufficient quantities for all.
Water restrictions are regulations that limit the amount of water that can be taken from a particular source. These restrictions can take the form of daily rates, weekly rates, or monthly rates and are designed to limit the use of water and ensure its availability to all.
It is important to note that water rights and restrictions may vary from region to region. Therefore, it is advisable to learn about the applicable water rights and restrictions in your area before designing and installing an irrigation system to ensure you are in compliance.
We can help you understand the applicable water rights and restrictions and ensure that your irrigation system operates within the permitted limits.
