Upgrading sprinklers is a significant part of our work, and often costs much less than installing a new system. When a system isn’t operating efficiently, we can typically upgrade and repair it instead of starting from scratch—exactly what we did here.

The lawn was struggling at this property, and the sprinklers were no longer functioning as effectively as they once did. We installed articulated risers and taller pop-ups, sinking them beneath the lawn to avoid any damage. We also added pop-ups for improved coverage, as the existing sprinklers didn’t provide sufficient reach.

To enhance efficiency, we installed Waterwise rotating nozzles that distribute water more evenly, cover a greater area, and offer better adjustability. After that, we top-dressed the lawn, applied fertiliser, and made minor service repairs at the front, including replacing a few sprinklers and upgrading the nozzles to higher-quality ones.

The property owner supplied the lawn and soil, while we provided:

• Labour
• Reticulation parts for the installation and servicing

Below, we’ve included an itemised list that details:

• The materials used
• The total number of parts and cost
• The labour involved in the project

This should give you a clearer picture of what was done and what could be achieved with a similar project. However, please keep in mind that every job is different, based on the unique conditions of the property and the requirements of the system.
