Drip Irrigation in Melbourne

Drip irrigation puts water exactly where the roots are, with no overspray, no evaporation and no run-off. We design and install drip systems for garden beds, hedges, potted plants and vegetable patches across Melbourne's south-east, usually as part of a wider Hunter or Rainbird install.

What you get

Every Drip irrigation job includes:

Netafim or Hunter Eco-Wrap

Pressure-compensating in-line drip line, rated for direct burial under mulch, lasts a decade.

Zone-separated from lawn

Drip runs on a different controller zone than spray heads, so each gets the schedule it actually needs.

Adjustable emitters on pots

Individual emitters on each pot, set by the dripper, so the camellia doesn't drown and the herbs don't dry out.

Smart controller integration

Same Hunter Hydrawise or Rainbird LNK app as the lawn zones. One controller for the whole property.

Restriction-friendly

Drip irrigation is exempt from most Melbourne water restrictions because of how little it uses.

Why us

The boring detail that matters.

Drip is the most underrated part of a residential irrigation system. Most installers add it as an afterthought. We design it from the start. A properly run drip line keeps an established garden alive through any summer Melbourne can throw at it, and uses about a fifth of the water of an above-ground spray.

Questions

The things people ask before they call.

Will drip work under mulch?

Yes, that's how it's designed to work. The drip line sits under the mulch and waters at root depth. The mulch keeps the line cool and stops evaporation.

Is drip exempt from water restrictions?

Generally yes. Most Melbourne water rules exempt drip and micro-spray because they use so little water. We design within those rules.

Can drip water my potted plants?

Yes. We run a drop line off the main drip with individual adjustable emitters per pot. Set once, watered forever.

How long does drip line last?

Pressure-compensating in-line drip from Netafim or Hunter is rated for direct burial under mulch and lasts at least 10 years. Cheap drip from a hardware store lasts about 2.
