2GreenIn a region as dry and water-conscious as the Winelands, how you water decides how much you spend and how well the garden survives a hot summer or a restriction. We design, install and maintain irrigation that puts water exactly where it is needed and wastes as little as possible, from drip through the beds to pop-up sprinklers on the lawn.
What we install
- ✓Drip irrigation through beds, hedges and pots.
- ✓Pop-up sprinklers and micro-sprays for lawns.
- ✓Timers and smart controllers that water in the cool early morning.
- ✓Filters and pressure regulators that keep a system reliable.
- ✓Integration with boreholes and rainwater or storage tanks.
Drip or sprinklers?
Most gardens are best served by a hybrid: pop-up sprinklers for broad, even coverage on the lawn, and drip irrigation through the beds, where it loses far less to evaporation and keeps foliage dry. We design the mix around your garden.
Designed for restrictions
An efficient system is your best defence against water restrictions. We zone the garden so areas with different needs run separately, set timers for the pre-dawn hours, and can add rain sensors so the system does not run after a downpour. The result uses a fraction of the water a poorly planned system does.
Repairs and upgrades
We also fix and improve existing systems: tracing and repairing leaks, converting thirsty spray beds to drip, adding zones, and replacing tired controllers with smarter ones. An old system that has drifted out of adjustment is often quietly wasting a lot of water.
Size it before you build it
If you want a sense of how much water your garden actually needs before designing a system, our garden watering calculator estimates litres per week by season for your area, plants and soil. To understand the options first, our complete guide to garden irrigation systems covers drip versus sprinklers, zoning, controllers and running off a borehole or tank.
Common mistakes
- ✓No filter or pressure regulator, so drip emitters block or blow off.
- ✓One zone for the whole garden, so the lawn and the beds get the same water whether they need it or not.
- ✓No timer, so watering happens by hand and by habit rather than early and efficiently.
- ✓Watering in the heat of the day, when most of it evaporates.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an irrigation system cost?＋
It depends on the size of the garden, how many zones it needs and whether you want a smart controller and tank or borehole integration. We quote after looking at the garden and what you want to water.
Installeer julle besproeiing in die Paarl?＋
Ja.

Ons koppel ook aan boorgate en tenks. Skakel ons by 083 227 1080 vir 'n gratis kwotasie.
Is drip or sprinkler irrigation better?＋
For beds, hedges and pots, drip is far more efficient and keeps leaves dry. For lawns, pop-up sprinklers give the broad even coverage grass needs. Most gardens are best with a hybrid of both.
Can you connect irrigation to a borehole or tank?＋
Yes. We integrate irrigation with boreholes and rainwater or storage tanks, with the right filtration to protect the system.
Can you add a smart controller to my existing system?＋
Yes. We upgrade tired controllers to smart, programmable ones and can add rain sensors, which often cuts water use noticeably on its own.
Can you convert my sprinkler system to drip?＋
In most cases yes. We can cap or convert spray heads and run dripline off the existing valves and piping, which keeps the conversion affordable.
