Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Aug 11, 2022 4:49 pm Hi, I'm trying to decide if I should install an irrigation system or not as part of our new home build (currently at pre framing stage)
Is it more a question of whether I want one for convenience? Or is it based on the soil type, location, and proposed gardens? We are in the Tweed Shire and are in a coastal subdivision with very sandy soil. I have minimal gardening experience but am thinking I'll have some lawn area (approx 120 m2), some small gardens with hardy/low maintenance plants/shrubs, and a small veggie garden. Edit: I would be installing any system myself. Re: To irrigate or not to irrigate? 2Aug 11, 2022 4:57 pm you can do this post hand over.

The pipes have obviously been altered and there would be a reason for this.… 3 31571 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15793 1000000% definitely add insulation.
