Owner operated by Matthew Hillier

In the landscaping trade since 2008, and working on irrigation alone across metro Adelaide since 2016.

The background

From landscaping to irrigation

Matthew has been working in the general landscaping space since 2008. Over those years he built up his skills across new turf installs, paving, retaining walls, general gardening and plant selection, the full range of work that goes into building an outdoor space from scratch.

Irrigation was the part he kept coming back to. It is the part of a garden that keeps the rest alive through an Adelaide summer, and it repays doing well: correct hydraulics, the right sprinkler in the right place, and a controller that runs a sensible schedule. Since 2016 it has been his full time focus.

Mid Coast Irrigation is a one man operation by choice. That means the person who quotes the job is the person who does the work and the person you call afterwards if something needs adjusting. Nothing gets lost between an office and a subcontractor.

In recent years the speciality has become Wifi and Bluetooth controllers. Smart control is the single biggest upgrade most Adelaide households can make to an existing system, and the water savings depend on how well it is set up.

How we work

What you can expect

The reasons customers recommend Mid Coast Irrigation to their neighbours.

Honest

If a system can be repaired rather than replaced, that is what you get told. No padded quotes and no work that does not need doing.

Reliable

Turning up when promised is the bare minimum of a trade service, and it is where a lot of them fall over. Arrival times are kept.

A good communicator

You get told what is happening, what it costs and why, in plain language. Calls and messages get returned.

Hard working

One job at a time, finished before the next one starts.

Focused on one trade

Design, pressure and flow, valves, controllers, drip and repairs. Irrigation is the entire focus of the business.

High quality workmanship

Installs are built to the standard Matthew would accept at his own house, with materials to match.
