Irrigation in Chobham
Chobham is a village in northwest Surrey known for its common, one of the largest heathland areas in the south-east. The village combines period properties with larger detached houses on generous plots, with sandy acid soils that drain freely and require specific irrigation strategies.

Professional Irrigation for Chobham
Properties and gardens
Chobham properties range from period cottages near the village to large detached houses on plots overlooking the common. Gardens feature lawns, heather and conifer beds, mature shrubs, hedges and sometimes paddocks. The Bagshot Beds sandy soils drain quickly and dry out fast in summer, making irrigation important for maintaining planting.
Irrigation requirements
The free-draining sandy soils in Chobham mean irrigation is essential for establishing and maintaining planting. Drip irrigation suits acid-loving heathers and conifers, while pop-up sprinklers handle lawns. Short, frequent watering cycles are more effective than long, infrequent ones on these soils. Rainwater harvesting is valuable where mains supply is limited.

Irrigation Systems We Design in Chobham
Garden Irrigation
Professionally designed automatic irrigation for private gardens across Surrey. Every system is engineered around your planting, soil, water supply and pressure so that borders, lawns, containers and beds receive the right amount of water at the right time, without waste.
Learn moreLawn Irrigation
Uniform, efficient lawn watering engineered for pristine turf. Pop-up sprinklers deliver matched precipitation across the full area, keeping your lawn green through the driest Surrey summers without the effort of a hosepipe or the waste of an oscillating sprinker.
Learn moreDrip Irrigation
Precise, low-flow watering delivered directly to the root zone. Drip irrigation is the most water-efficient method available, ideal for borders, hedges, trees, containers and vegetable gardens where overhead spraying is wasteful or impractical.
Learn moreLarge Garden Irrigation
Multi-zone irrigation engineered for expansive Surrey gardens. When a garden exceeds half an acre, water supply, pressure and zoning become engineering challenges that demand professional design to deliver consistent performance across the whole site.
Learn moreSmart Irrigation
Your garden. Your phone. Your irrigation. Hunter Hydrawise smart controllers connect your irrigation system to Wi-Fi, local weather and your phone, so watering adjusts automatically to conditions and you can manage every zone from anywhere.
Learn moreRainwater Harvesting
Turn rainfall into irrigation water. Rainwater harvesting captures roof runoff, filters it and stores it underground or above ground, then pumps it through your irrigation system. For Surrey gardens on metered mains, a rainwater system can cut irrigation water costs dramatically while keeping the garden green through hosepipe bans.
