At Hortlands, we provide professional garden irrigation maintenance, servicing and repair to keep irrigation systems working efficiently, reliably and effectively throughout the year.
Garden Irrigation Repairs
Keep your garden irrigation system working efficiently with professional maintenance and repair from Hortlands. We inspect, service and repair irrigation systems to ensure plants, lawns, borders and landscaped areas receive the right amount of water throughout the year.
From blocked or damaged irrigation lines and faulty sprinkler heads to leaking connections, valves, pumps and control systems, our experienced team can identify problems and provide practical repairs to keep your irrigation system operating reliably.
We can inspect, maintain, repair and upgrade irrigation systems installed by other contractors.

Blocked emitters
Damaged sprinkler heads
Faulty valves and controllers
Pressure/flow problems
Damaged wiring
Uneven watering
Failed irrigation zones
Regular irrigation system servicing helps keep your garden watering system efficient, reliable and responsive to the changing needs of your plants. At Hortlands, we inspect and test irrigation systems to identify issues such as blocked sprinkler heads, damaged pipework, leaking connections, faulty valves and incorrect watering schedules.
Our servicing can include checking irrigation zones, testing water pressure and coverage, cleaning or replacing blocked emitters, adjusting sprinkler heads and reviewing controllers and timers. We can also identify areas that are being over- or under-watered and make adjustments to improve performance and reduce unnecessary water use.
For established gardens, regular servicing is particularly valuable as irrigation components can become damaged or displaced over time. Seasonal checks can help ensure your system is ready for increased summer demand and continues to provide consistent watering across lawns, borders, planting beds and landscaped areas.

System Upgrades
As gardens mature, irrigation systems may need to be upgraded or adapted to meet changing planting requirements. At Hortlands, we can assess existing irrigation systems and recommend improvements to increase efficiency, reliability and coverage.
We can also make adjustments to systems where gardens have been redesigned or planting has changed. This helps ensure water is delivered where it is needed without unnecessary irrigation of paths, patios or established areas.

Installing more precise watering systems
The irrigation system is supplied by an above-ground 5,000-litre water storage tank, with a DAB Divertek 900 submersible pump providing a reliable water supply to the irrigation network. System control is managed through a Hunter HCC Hydrawise controller, enabling the irrigation system to be programmed, monitored and adjusted remotely.
A two-wire decoder system provides efficient control across the garden, reducing the amount of cabling required while allowing individual irrigation zones to be managed effectively. Lawn areas are irrigated using Rain Bird 5000 Series rotors alongside Rain Bird 1800 Series pop-up sprinklers fitted with R-VAN rotary nozzles.
