Irrigation systems: installation, repair and maintenance

A good irrigation system waters your garden at the right time, with as little water as possible. We install, repair and adjust automatic watering systems in Marbella, Estepona, Manilva and across the Costa del Sol.

Automatic watering systems we work on

Most gardens on the coast rely on automatic irrigation. It is the only practical way to keep plants alive through a long, dry summer, especially if you are not always there.

We work on all common systems, from a few drippers on a terrace to large villa gardens with several zones.

  • Drip irrigation for beds, hedges and pots
  • Sprinklers and pop-up sprinklers for lawns
  • Timers and controllers
  • Wi-Fi controllers you can check from your phone

Irrigation repair: leaks and broken drippers

A hidden leak wastes water and can raise your water bill a lot. A blocked or broken dripper means one plant dries out while the rest look fine.

We find leaks, replace broken drippers, pipes and sprinkler heads, and check the controller is working. Often the cause is simple, such as a cracked pipe, a dripper pulled out by a cat or a flat timer battery.

Saving water in Andalusia

Andalusia has dry periods and, in some years, water restrictions. A well-set system uses much less water than watering by hand or by sprinkler at midday.

We adjust your programme for the season: more water in summer, much less in winter, and always early in the morning or late in the evening. Drip irrigation and grouping plants by their water needs also make a big difference.

Peace of mind when you are away

If you spend time abroad, a Wi-Fi controller lets you check or change the watering from your phone. Combined with our holiday watering visits, someone also checks on the spot that everything is working.

Send us a WhatsApp message or use the form, with a photo of your controller if you can. We visit or look at your photos and send you a free quote with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an irrigation repair or installation cost?

It depends on the size of the garden and what needs doing. We give you a free quote after a short visit, or from photos sent via WhatsApp.

How often should my irrigation be checked?

We recommend a check before summer and a programme change in autumn. If we look after your garden regularly, we check it on every visit.

Can I control my watering from abroad?

Yes, with a Wi-Fi controller. We can fit one and show you how to use it on your phone.

Do I need to be at home for a repair?

No. As long as we can reach the garden and the controller, we can do the work and send you photos.

Which areas do you cover?

We work all along the Costa del Sol, from San Roque, Sotogrande and Manilva to Marbella, Málaga and Nerja, and in inland villages such as Gaucín, Monda, Coín and Frigiliana.
