Garden Watering Systems in the Cotswolds

Micro-irrigation and automatic watering for Cotswold gardens.

The Cotswolds are close to home for us, and we work across Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Norton, Cirencester, Tetbury, Northleach and the surrounding villages.

Cotswold gardens have a particular character — walled gardens, gravel, stone terraces, box and lavender, and lawns framed by honey-coloured stone. They also sit on thin soil over limestone brash, which drains fast and holds very little. It is precisely the ground where careful, targeted watering pays off most.

Micro-irrigation for planted gardens

Micro-irrigation puts small, measured amounts of water exactly where it is needed through narrow pipework with fine outlets. In a Cotswold garden full of borders, pots and specimen planting it is far more effective than overhead spray, and it keeps water off stone paths and terraces.

Walled gardens

A stone wall stores heat and pushes up the temperature inside the garden, so beds against a south-facing wall dry out well before the rest. We zone these separately so that strip gets more water without drowning everything else.

Keeping it out of sight

In a garden built around stone and planting, visible pipework spoils it. Pipework is fed under gravel and through borders, sprinklers sit flush in the lawn, and the controller is tucked away out of sight.

Cotswold gardens are often as much about the stone and the structure as the planting. A system here has to work hard and stay completely out of sight, which is exactly what micro-irrigation does well.
