Landscape automatic irrigation system is the automatic control devices that perform irrigation of the area without human control. Automatic irrigation provides both more effective intermittent irrigation and eliminates the need for employees in irrigation. Another benefit of automatic irrigation is that it allows you to irrigate your green area or plant sufficiently. In this way, it both saves money and your green areas always remain green.
How to Automatically Irrigate Landscape?
We can say that the best answer to the question of how automatic irrigation is done is a well-prepared irrigation plan. The most important point of the automatic irrigation system is the project design and irrigation system selection. As it is known, landscape areas are complex areas. In order for automatic irrigation to be done properly, the landscape irrigation plan must be prepared well. In particular, attention should be paid to the water spray distance of the sprints to be used.
It generally consists of compact structures and it is important to choose the appropriate irrigation infrastructure and sprinklers. It is very important that the sprinkler cannot be placed according to the areas that it can reach from the sprinkler throw distance. There are different types of sprinklers that spray water at various distances. Sprints should be selected according to the appropriate throw distance. As can be understood from here, one of the most important components of automatic irrigation is sprints.
After the infrastructure is designed, the necessary irrigation equipment for the automatic irrigation system is selected. You can get detailed information about the equipment used and installation from our previous article on automatic irrigation equipment.

How Does an Automatic Landscape Irrigation System Work?
Automatic irrigation systems consist of automatic control electronic parts, valves, pipes and irrigation heads.
Control units are most commonly known as timers. Timers allow you to create an irrigation calendar and irrigate. These timers can be battery or electric and control the solenoid-based hydraulic irrigation valves, which are the second component of the system. The third components are spray heads or drip irrigation systems. Valves are automatically controlled by the timer and irrigation is performed.
Where is the Landscape Automatic Irrigation System Used?
It is possible to use automatic irrigation almost everywhere where irrigation is done. The most common areas of use are villas, municipal park garden irrigation, median irrigation, factory anans, median green areas, fields, agricultural lands, golf courses and football fields.
It is seen that automatic irrigation solutions are increasing in order to manage water and prevent unnecessary irrigation and to irrigate more efficiently.
Main Materials Used for Landscape Automatic Irrigation
- Pipe and Fittings
- Spray heads
- Drip lines
- Solenoid valves
- Timers
- Irrigation sensors
How to Install an Automatic Landscape Irrigation System?
First of all, the pipes required for irrigation must be laid. For this, the soil surface where automatic irrigation will be done is dug approximately 25 cm deep and 15 cm wide and the pipes are laid. The following elements are installed on the pipes buried in the dug channel;
- Spray heads
- Drip Pipes
- Solenoid Valves
- Timers
- Irrigation Sensors
The automatic irrigation system is completed piece by piece. At the end of the process, you cannot see the hose and other parts on the soil.
Rotor Fountains, Spray Heads
Thanks to the water pressure in automatic irrigation systems, it reaches the surface and sprays water in pre-set radii, providing equal irrigation on grass surfaces. When the irrigation process is over, they are completely buried in the surface.
Spray sprinklers are divided into 2.
- Spray Sprinklers
- Rotor Spray Sprinklers
Spray Pop-up sprinklers consist of a nozzle and a body and irrigate a certain area between 1 m. and 9.1 m. There are a wide variety of nozzle and spray body solutions.
Rotor Spray Sprinklers irrigate a certain area between 8 m. and 60 m. Angle and throw settings can be made thanks to the special adjustment key.
The correct spray body and nozzle combination is found by considering the plant type, soil type and shape of the area and matching it with the correct model.
Solenoid Valves and Valve Box
Solenoid valves are the main elements that automatically control the opening and closing of water in automatic irrigation systems, and the flow rate. Control valves are the heart of your irrigation system. From low to high flow, from clean to dirty water, and from low to high pressure, there is a valve that can do your job and work reliably for years. It is managed by the irrigation control unit. They are divided into 2 as battery and electric
After selecting the control unit as electric or battery, there are varieties according to the main pipe diameters.
Timers
Timer Control Units are the most important part of an Automatic Irrigation System. We can even say that it is the brain. The timer turns the designated irrigation zones on and off in accordance with the programmed operating times. Properly programmed control units ensure that the landscape area receives the correct amount of water at the ideal irrigation time. Choosing the right control units typically depends on the number of zones needed in the system and whether the number of zones will be increased or decreased in the future.
Timers Are Divided Into 2
- Battery-Operated Irrigation Timers
- Electric Irrigation Timers
For more information about irrigation timers, you can read our irrigation timer article.
Smart Irrigation System
The need for smart irrigation systems for different scenarios and irrigation of larger areas has also increased. Artificially supported smart irrigation solutions are needed especially for more effective irrigation of agricultural areas. As esular, we provide smart irrigation services with different product options at this point. Our smart irrigation system allows you to irrigate with techniques such as very different sensors, meteorological values, product types.
For more information about esular smart irrigation system, you can visit our page below.
Smart irrigation automation solutions not only provide irrigation at certain intervals but also provide more effective and efficient irrigation with sensor data and different irrigation data. Smart irrigation solutions are suitable for use in many different areas. Some of the application areas we also apply
- Park, garden and urban irrigation
- Agricultural irrigation systems made with drip irrigation
- Vertical garden and vertical farming applications
- Agricultural irrigation
As esular, we make irrigation more efficient and effective by using different sensor solutions. In the example you see above, we made irrigation more effective by using a moisture sensor in the automatic irrigation system. For the smart irrigation solutions you need
Other Systems Used in Automatic Irrigation
Various types of water control and measurement devices are also used in automatic irrigation. These systems can generally be called water meters, flow meters, pumps, and fertilization systems. We also increase the effectiveness of automation solutions by using such devices in our own automation systems.
