Precision watering

A reticulation system can be set to deliver just the right amount of water to each area of your garden, avoiding overwatering and runoff. This means less evaporation and more hydration for those thirsty roots.

Time it right

Watering at the right time makes a big difference. Set your system to water during cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening, when less water evaporates. This way, your plants can soak up more moisture before the sun gets too hot.

Drip, drip, drip

Swap out traditional sprinklers for drip irrigation. This method delivers water directly to the base of plants, minimising evaporation and ensuring deep watering where it’s needed most.

Rain sensors

Modern reticulation systems can include rain sensors that automatically adjust watering schedules based on rainfall. With rain sensors in place, your system can take a well-deserved break when nature does the watering for you. It’s water conservation on autopilot.

Smart controllers

Take your water-saving game to the next level with a smart controller. These clever gadgets adjust watering based on weather forecasts and soil moisture, making sure your garden gets the Goldilocks treatment - not too much, not too little, just right.

Don't forget the mulch

Adding a cosy blanket of mulch around your plants not only makes your garden look neat but also helps retain moisture, keeps the soil cool, and fights off those pesky weeds.

Your local reticulation expert will be able to help you with the best system to suit your garden and make sure the water is going where it needs to be (that is not on the footpath or all over your car) so nothing is going to waste!
