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. Cape Town and Western Cape figures are marked; the rest are national ranges. 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.

Watering Rules in Table View
- No water restrictions have applied in Cape Town since 1 November 2020, but the City's permanent water-saving rules still do.
- Watering is allowed only before 09:00 or after 18:00. Programme the controller to match.
- Hosepipes need a spray nozzle or self-closing device, and paving may not be hosed down with municipal water.
- Boreholes and wellpoints must be registered with the City, and new ones applied for at least 14 days before sinking.
Rule sources: City of Cape Town, saving water and borehole registration pages (checked October 2026).
Sandy Soil
- Sandy soil drains fast, so water runs past the roots on long cycles.
- Several short cycles work better than one long run.
- Drip under mulch keeps beds moist with less water.
Wellpoints and Iron Staining
- Many gardens here can be watered from a wellpoint or borehole.
- Groundwater can be high in iron, which stains walls and paving orange.
- Ask about filtration, and keep sprinklers off walls, paving and cars.
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.
