Frequently Asked Questions

No. Irrigation systems and vertical gardens can be designed for almost any size space.

Irrigation can be installed for small gardens, courtyards, lawns, planters, and even balconies. Vertical gardens are ideal where floor space is limited, as they make use of unused wall areas both indoors and outdoors. During our site assessment, we evaluate your available space and recommend the most effective solution.

When designed correctly, automated irrigation systems and vertical gardens use less water than manual watering.

Hydralux designs systems using zoning, drip irrigation, and smart controllers to deliver precise amounts of water only where needed. This reduces overwatering, runoff, and evaporation, helping to conserve water while keeping plants healthy.

Yes. Most modern irrigation systems are fully automated.

We install smart irrigation controllers that allow you to schedule watering times, adjust zones, and optimise water use based on seasonal conditions. Many systems can also be adjusted manually or upgraded later as your garden evolves.

No — when properly designed, vertical gardens are low-maintenance.

We use suitable plant selections, efficient irrigation, and proper drainage to reduce ongoing maintenance requirements. Hydralux also offers maintenance plans to ensure plants remain healthy, irrigation systems perform correctly, and the garden maintains its visual impact over time.

Yes. We regularly assess, repair, and upgrade existing irrigation systems.

This includes fixing leaks, improving water distribution, upgrading controllers, and redesigning zones to improve efficiency. Upgrading an older system can significantly reduce water usage and improve overall performance.

Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Smaller irrigation systems or vertical gardens can often be completed within a few days, while larger or more complex projects may take longer. After assessing your site, we provide a clear timeline before work begins.
