Garden Watering If you have a large, well-stocked garden and want to ensure that it is regularly watered, you could consider an automatic pumped system. (Whilst there are small systems which will work very well from an outside tap, if you have low water pressure or a big garden the only way to do it properly is with a pump).  Pumps can deliver large flow-rates at good pressures therefore allowing the watering of a large area in a limited amount of time.  There are various options open to you and it need not cost you a fortune. (Pump & controllers start from around £250).  If you are lucky enough to have a well or spring on your land, you could use that.  Most people however have to use a tank (100-150gallons) which is filled with water and which feeds a pump sitting below or next to or even inside it.  The pump then sends the water under pressure to your various watering devices.  If connected via a timer and automatic pump controller, it can water your garden at night and even when you are on holiday so you need never come home to a brown lawn and wilting or dead plants again ! There are many different sorts of sprinklers available which are unobtrusive and can water individual plants or shrubs, or hanging baskets, or whole borders or your lawn.  Some involve running a ring-main buried under the topsoil around you garden and plugging in “micro sprinklers”. You could consider pop-up sprinklers for a lawn area.  If you wish to discuss the options please do a sketch of your garden with approximate measurements, and give us a call on 0845 130 3300.
