Popup sprinklers, also known as pop-up spray heads, are an integral component of automatic lawn irrigation systems. These discrete devices remain hidden underground when not in operation, seamlessly blending into your lawn’s aesthetic. When activated, they rise effortlessly from the ground, transforming into miniature water towers that gently shower your lawn with rain-like droplets. Sprinklers come in a range of sizes and types, catering to lawns of all shapes and dimensions. Typically, they can spray a radius of 4.5-12 metres, with larger and smaller diameters available where necessary. A well-designed lawn irrigation system meticulously considers factors like water pressure, spray patterns, and wind conditions to ensure complete and even coverage while minimising overspray. This optimisation not only maximises water efficiency but also prevents waterlogging and potential damage to surrounding landscaping. Crafted from high-quality materials, popup sprinklers are built to withstand the rigours of regular use. Their robust construction ensures years of reliable operation, requiring minimal maintenance to keep them functioning at peak performance.
For densely planted borders and potted plants, drip irrigation systems offer a precise and efficient watering solution. Unlike traditional sprinklers that rely on overhead sprays, drip irrigation delivers water directly to the roots of plants through a network of pipes and emitters. This targeted approach minimises water loss due to evaporation and ensures that each plant receives the hydration it needs, even in areas where overhead watering would be impractical or ineffective. Hortlands exclusively utilises drip lines equipped with pressure-compensating emitters. These innovative emitters maintain a consistent flow rate regardless of the pipe’s length, ensuring that every plant receives an equal amount of water. For smaller borders and planters, micro drip lines provide a highly effective and less visible alternative to traditional drip lines. Mini sprinklers and drippers come in a variety of sizes and types, so are an ideal watering solution for plants in pots, or groups of plants in sparsely planted borders. These discrete devices can be mixed and matched to deliver variable amounts of water almost on a plant-by-plant basis, catering to the specific needs of individual plants.
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy and vibrant garden can be a challenge.

Hortlands were contracted to design and implement an irrigation system in two phases.
Automatic irrigation is a system that utilises sensors, timers, and valves to deliver water to plants at scheduled times. It is a popular choice for both residential and commercial grounds due to its ability to save water and improve plant health.
There are two main types of automatic irrigation systems: sprinkler systems and drip irrigation systems. Sprinkler systems spray water over a large area, while drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to the root zone of plants.
Sprinkler systems are typically used for lawns and large gardens, while drip irrigation systems are better suited for vegetable gardens, orchards, and potted plants.
Automatic irrigation systems can be controlled remotely using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. This allows you to adjust your watering schedule from anywhere in the world.
Irrigation is used in a variety of settings, including:
