Irrigation Tips for Melbourne
Melbourne's Stage 1 and Stage 2 water restrictions limit watering to before 10am and after 8pm — ensure your controller is programmed correctly and has a rain sensor
Melbourne's unpredictable weather means smart weather-based controllers offer excellent water savings and pay for themselves within 1–2 seasons
The inner suburbs of Melbourne often have bluestone and rubble under gardens — confirm excavation costs before accepting a fixed-price quote for pipe installation
Autumn is the best time to install irrigation in Melbourne before summer demand peaks and irrigators get booked out months in advance
