A well-designed irrigation system is one of the best investments you can make for your garden. It saves water, saves time, and keeps your lawn and garden beds consistently healthy — even through Melbourne's hot, dry summers. A Man With A Plan designs, installs, and repairs all types of irrigation systems across Melbourne's Bayside suburbs, tailored precisely to your garden's layout, soil type, and water needs.
Drip Irrigation Systems
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone of your plants, minimising evaporation and runoff. It's the most water-efficient method available and ideal for garden beds, veggie patches, hedges, and established plantings. We design custom drip layouts that match your garden's exact shape and plant spacing.
- Custom drip line layout and design
- Emitter selection for plant type and spacing
- Pressure-regulated fittings for even distribution
- Mulch-compatible installation
- Connection to existing tap or mains supply
- Timer and controller setup
Lawn Irrigation & Pop-Up Sprinklers
Keep your lawn lush and green without lifting a finger. We install pop-up sprinkler systems that retract flush with the ground when not in use, protecting them from mowing damage. Our lawn irrigation designs ensure full, even coverage with no dry patches or overwatered zones.
- Full coverage sprinkler layout design
- Pop-up rotary and fixed-head sprinklers
- Zone-based watering for different lawn areas
- Pressure testing and head adjustment
- Backflow prevention compliance
- Smart controller and timer programming
Automated Irrigation Systems
Set and forget with a fully automated irrigation system. We install smart controllers and programmable timers that water your garden at the optimal time — early morning before the heat of the day — so you never have to think about it. Compatible with rain sensors and soil moisture probes for truly intelligent watering.
