Irrigation Installation in Melbourne
Experience in irrigation design and installation
Consolidated Horticultural Services has vast experience in irrigation installation and maintenance across Melbourne. Whether it is a simple single-valve system or a 60-valve commercial setup, we design and install garden irrigation systems of every type and size. Every system gives you total control over your garden's water, so plants get exactly what they need, when they need it.
Melbourne irrigation systems, designed around your garden
A good irrigation system is designed, not just installed. Our designs factor in soil type, light intensity, sub-soil drainage and plant type, so water is delivered where it is needed and nothing is wasted. That is what gives you total control over the water requirements of the garden, from a small residential bed to a large, zoned commercial site.
We install using PVC and blue line pipe, and copper where required for pots and exposed situations. Our commercial installations are completed to very strict construction standards, and we apply exactly the same standards to residential installs. We also run cable and pipe locators to find lost valves and cables, which makes maintenance and repairs on existing systems straightforward.
Consolidated Horticultural Services has worked on Melbourne gardens since 1995. Founder Alistair Bethke spent seven years with the City of Melbourne's Parks and Gardens division before starting CHS, and that horticultural grounding informs how every system is designed. Our licensed installers can also fit testable backflow devices to comply with current plumbing regulations and reduce the risk of cross contamination.

Irrigation FAQs
Common questions about irrigation installation and maintenance across Melbourne.
How much does irrigation installation cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the size of the garden, the number of zones and valves, and the type of system. Because we design each system around the site rather than fitting a standard package, we quote after assessing your garden. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
Do you install both drip and sprinkler systems?
Yes. We use drip irrigation for beds and pots and sprinkler systems for lawns and larger areas, and we often combine and zone them so each part of the garden is watered the right way.
Can you maintain or repair an existing irrigation system?
Yes. We service, fault-find and repair new and existing systems, and we use cable and pipe locators to track down lost valves and cables so problems are found quickly.
Do you handle commercial irrigation installations?
Yes. We have completed everything from single-valve residential systems to 60-valve commercial installs, and the same strict construction standards apply to every job regardless of size.
Can my system run without mains water?
It can. When combined with water harvesting and storage, we can build systems that run independently of mains supply.
Do you install backflow prevention?
Yes. Our licensed installers fit testable backflow devices to comply with current plumbing regulations and reduce the risk of cross contamination.
