Irrigation System Installation

Custom garden and lawn irrigation systems that save water and time while keeping landscapes green.

Overview

A vibrant garden or lawn needs consistent watering, but doing it by hand is time‑consuming and often wasteful. Dalo Plumbing Solutions designs and installs smart irrigation systems for residential and commercial properties across Nairobi and the greater metropolitan area. Whether you want a simple drip line for your kitchen garden in Lang’ata, automated pop‑up sprinklers for a lawn in Runda, or a fully zoned system for a hotel in Westlands, we deliver water‑efficient, low‑maintenance solutions. Our approach begins with understanding your landscape – plant types, sun exposure, soil type, and water source. We then design a system that delivers the right amount of water to each zone without runoff. We install drip irrigation for flower beds, hedges, and vegetable patches, which places water directly at the roots, reducing evaporation. For lawns and sports fields, we use pop‑up sprinklers that retract when not in use, keeping the area safe for children and neat in appearance. We integrate your irrigation with your existing water supply – whether it’s a borehole, a storage tank, or the municipal line – and include appropriate filters and pressure regulators to protect the emitters. To make life easier, we supply and program automatic irrigation controllers that can be set to water at specific times, including early morning or late evening to minimise water loss. We also install rain sensors that temporarily suspend watering after rainfall, and soil moisture sensors for even greater efficiency. All our installations are done with minimal disruption to your landscape. We use trenchless pipe‑laying techniques where possible, or neatly reinstate any disturbed ground. We pressure‑test all lines and thoroughly flush the system before commissioning. After installation, we provide a diagram of the system, a watering schedule, and basic maintenance training for your gardener or grounds team. We also service and expand existing irrigation systems – adding new zones, replacing broken sprinkler heads, and upgrading manual systems to automatic. With water becoming an increasingly precious resource in Kenya, a well‑designed irrigation system from Dalo is an investment in both your property’s beauty and environmental responsibility.
