Plenty of Adelaide homes have an irrigation system that was installed decades ago and has gone backwards since. Nozzles are worn, zones have been patched with whatever was in the shed, and the controller is a mechanical dial that nobody trusts. In most cases the buried pipework is still sound, which means a refurbishment costs far less than starting again.
The job starts with a full assessment: every zone is run, coverage is checked, and leaks, blocked heads and dead sections are marked up. From there you get a straight recommendation on what is worth keeping and what has reached the end of its life, along with the cost of each option so you can decide how far to take it.
Common upgrades include swapping old fixed sprays for pressure regulating bodies with matched precipitation nozzles, replacing failing solenoids and rebuilding the valve manifold into a proper box, converting thirsty spray zones in garden beds over to drip line, and fitting a Wifi controller in place of the old timer.
