Ballpark figures, not quotations. Ranges compiled from price guides published by South African irrigation, building-cost and quote websites, checked 19 October 2026 and rounded where needed. They are not our prices and no contractor is bound by them. Western Cape figures are marked; the rest are national ranges, so local quotes may differ. Installation ranges cover supply and installation. Repair prices often exclude parts. Published guides vary widely, so treat the ranges as a sanity check only. None of the sources state whether VAT is included, so confirm VAT on every quote.

Salt Air
- Salt air corrodes metal fittings, valves and controller cabinets.
- Ask for plastic or stainless fittings and an outdoor-rated or enclosed controller.
- Salt-tolerant planting on drip uses less water than lawn near the sea.
Estates and Complexes
- Get the estate's landscaping rules before requesting quotes.
- Common areas are usually run by the managing agent. Private gardens connect separately.
- Larger common-area systems are covered under commercial irrigation systems.
Wind
- The summer south-easter blows fine spray off target and onto paving.
- Use rotors or low-angle nozzles on lawns, and put beds on drip.
- Run sprinklers early in the morning or in the evening, when wind is usually lighter.
