Irrigation system: garden setup and care guide

An irrigation system helps a garden receive the right amount of water at the right time. Lawns, trees, shrubs and flower beds all need different watering plans.

Why irrigation planning matters

A good system saves water, protects plants and reduces manual work. Drip irrigation is useful for trees and shrubs, while sprinklers are usually better for lawns.

Installation and repair

Before installation, water pressure, zones, soil type and plant groups should be checked. Useful pages include irrigation installation and repair, lawn care, soil analysis and contact.
