Core Features
Technology Rooted in the Garden
Wi-Fi Zone Controller
Manage up to 16 independent irrigation zones from your smartphone. Real-time status, schedules, and manual overrides — all in one app.
Weather-Adaptive Scheduling
Integrated weather API pulls local forecasts hourly. If rain is coming, your system holds back. If a heat wave is forecast, it compensates automatically.
Soil Moisture Sensors
Underground sensors sample soil moisture and temperature, feeding real-time data to your controller so water is only delivered when truly needed.
Leak & Fault Detection
Flow sensors catch anomalies mid-cycle. A burst pipe or blocked emitter triggers an immediate alert and auto-shutoff, protecting your property and water bill.
Water Usage Analytics
Monthly dashboards show usage by zone, season, and plant type. Set targets, track savings, and benchmark your garden against regional averages.
Process
From Consultation to First Harvest
Site Survey & Design
Our specialists visit your property to map soil composition, sun exposure, water pressure, and plant requirements. We then produce a full irrigation layout plan at no cost.
System Installation
Certified installers lay pipework, mount controllers, and calibrate sensors — typically completing a residential project in one to two days with minimal disruption to your garden.
App Setup & Handover
We configure the controller, connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and walk you through the app. A first season support call is included with every installation.

Case Study
Karuizawa Mountain Retreat
Nagano Prefecture — 2,200 m² Summer Cottage Garden
A family summer cottage in the Karuizawa highlands struggled with patchy lawns and wilted vegetable beds during the humid July peak. The owners spent an average of three hours per day on manual watering.
We designed a 12-zone AquaGrid system with dedicated drip runs for the vegetable garden, pop-up sprinklers for the lawn, and an integrated soil-moisture network covering the ornamental border beds.
"We finally enjoy our weekends at the cottage instead of spending them with a hose. The lawn has never looked better and our water bill dropped by half."— Haruki Yamamoto, Property Owner, Karuizawa
52%
Reduction in water consumption compared with manual watering in the previous season.
3 hrs
Daily watering time eliminated — now fully automated with smartphone override capability.
100%
Lawn coverage achieved by the third week following installation — previously patchy in dry spells.
Client Reviews
Trusted by Garden Owners Across Japan
"The installation took just one day. By the following week my rose beds were healthier than they'd been in years. The app is genuinely intuitive — I set a schedule and simply forget about watering."
"We have a 1,500 m² property in Hakone and needed a solution that could handle the steep slopes. The team surveyed everything thoroughly and designed a system that handles every corner, even in heavy rain season."
"Our small urban garden now grows cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs with zero daily effort. The soil sensors are remarkable — water arrives at the exact moment plants need it, not before, not after."
FAQ
Common Questions
Have more questions? Our team is happy to help before, during, and after your installation.
Ask a QuestionHow long does a typical installation take?
Most residential installations are completed within one to two days. Larger estates or commercial properties may require three to five days. We coordinate scheduling to minimise disruption to your garden.
Can the system work with an existing sprinkler setup?
Yes. Our SmartZone controllers are compatible with most standard 24 V AC solenoid valves. We can often retrofit your existing pipework and valves with a new smart controller and sensors for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
What happens if my internet connection goes down?
Your controller stores the full watering schedule locally. All programmed cycles run as normal even without internet connectivity. You lose real-time app access and weather updates temporarily, but your garden keeps receiving water on schedule.
Do I need a plumber for the installation?
No. Our certified installation team handles every aspect of the project, including connection to your mains supply, valve installation, and pressure testing. No separate tradespeople are required.
How do I winterise the system before the cold season?
We offer an annual winterisation service that includes draining pipework, protecting valves, and shutting down the controller safely. You can also use the in-app winterisation wizard to walk through the process yourself if you prefer.
