Cost: automatic irrigation
Total garden area is not enough to compare prices. Offers should distinguish irrigated zones, pipe lengths, distribution equipment and controls. Add connection work, reinstatement and the commissioning, servicing and winterisation actually included.
Editorial update on 19 September 2026
Read the equipment schedule
Compare zone plans, pipe lengths, outlets, valves, filters and controller references. Identify supply, installation and testing. Square-metre prices explain little if offers cover different areas and equipment.
Separate supply and groundwork
Itemise water-supply alterations, any tank pump, connections and electrical supply. Describe trenches, crossings and reinstatement of planting or paving. Flag areas whose condition still needs assessment.
Compare subsequent services
Define commissioning, included adjustments and later visits. Identify separately charged parts, consumables, winterisation and restart. For connected controls, check required services or subscriptions for the proposed model.

Frequently asked questions
Is a square-metre price enough?
Also compare served areas, zones, equipment and included work.
Is tank connection included?
Check pump, filters, connections, controls and tests rather than a general heading.
Is winterisation covered?
Ask whether the offer includes installation only or seasonal visits too.
Does a sensor guarantee payback?
Do not assume quantified savings; compare function, compatibility and cost for intended use.
