New irrigation design and installation
An irrigation system designed around the way your garden grows. Fox Gardens combines practical irrigation and horticultural knowledge, considering your planting, lawn, layout and measured water supply before recommending a new system.
Designed for real gardens
Lawns, deep borders, pots and shaded planting do not necessarily share the same watering requirements. A survey establishes what should run together, what needs a separate zone and what the available supply can support.
For new or changing gardens, David can coordinate with our in-house garden designer so planting plans and irrigation zones complement one another.
Design decisions are based on measured flow and pressure together. Pressure alone does not show how much water a supply can reliably deliver.
Dripline distributes water close to the root zone. It suits many borders, hedges and planted beds and can follow irregular planting layouts.
Small emitters direct water to individual pots, planters, hanging baskets, greenhouse plants or other targeted areas.
Options range from straightforward tap timers to multi-zone and weather-aware controls, selected to suit the size and complexity of the system.
Multi-zone systems
Borders, lawns, pots and sunny or shaded areas may need different delivery methods or run times. Separating them into zones gives clearer control and keeps each zone within the capacity of the water supply.
Planning also considers valve access, practical pipe routes, controller capacity and possible future extensions.
Tank-fed and pumped systems
Suitability depends on storage capacity, refill rate, elevation, required flow and pressure, and the garden’s overall demand. Collected rainwater cannot automatically be assumed to meet year-round irrigation needs.
Complex pumping, borehole or fixed electrical requirements may require an appropriately qualified specialist.
Common questions
Yes, in many cases. The survey identifies practical pipe routes and watering zones around established planting and landscaping.
Suitability depends on measured flow and pressure together, as well as the demand of each proposed zone.
Yes. A multi-zone controller can operate different areas independently where the design and supply allow.
Accurate pricing normally requires a survey because layout, planting, water supply, access and installation difficulty vary between gardens.
