Pricing guide

Costs are mainly driven by system complexity and site conditions. Multi‑zone installs and jobs that require locating and removing existing irrigation typically need more labour and extra components, while compacted soil, paving or rock increase digging and disposal work; after‑hours attendance usually increases rates.

  • Number of zones and valves

    Multi‑zone systems require extra valves, manifolds and controller setup, which typically increases labour and parts needs.

  • Removal and retrofit work

    Locating, removing and disposing of old lines or reworking manifolds generally adds labour and can complicate the job.

  • Ground and access conditions

    Soft soil or mulch is usually quicker to trench, while compacted soil, paving or rock may need more time and specialised removal.

  • System size and pipe length

    Longer runs of dripline and more emitters increase material use and installation time.

  • Controller and component specification

    Higher‑spec controllers, additional solenoids or premium components typically add to parts and setup complexity.
