Designing an Automatic Irrigation System for Your Woking Lawn

A beautiful lawn deserves reliable irrigation. Many invest heavily in landscaping but overlook automated watering—leading to inconsistent care and wasted water. A well-designed system ensures efficient, even coverage with minimal effort.

Key Design Considerations

Water Source Analysis

Identify your source: well, municipal, lake, or recycled water. Measure static pressure and available flow at the source. Design using no more than 75% of available flow to prevent friction loss and pressure drop.

Pipe Sizing

Consult friction loss charts to select correct pipe diameter. Oversizing wastes money; undersizing increases velocity and pressure loss.

Sprinkler Head Selection

• Rotor Heads: Rotate, cover ~30 ft radius. Best for large lawn areas.
• Spray Heads: Fixed, 4–15 ft radius. Ideal for small gardens, shrub beds.
• Drip Irrigation: Efficient for flower beds and bushes (design requires separate planning).

Layout for Head-to-Head Coverage

Position heads so each throws water to the next—ensuring uniform distribution. Mark locations with flags before installation.

Professional installation by trained engineers guarantees performance. For Woking residents, local experts provide tailored systems with ongoing support.
