Irrigation systems
stroydom.ge installs automatic irrigation in Tbilisi and across Georgia as a standalone order or as part of a turnkey house. Guide prices before the survey: a complete system for a 600–1000 m² garden is 6,000–14,000 ₾ with equipment, pipework and commissioning; a lawn zone, 700–1,400 ₾; drip lines, 12–25 ₾ per linear metre; a pump set, 900–2,500 ₾ without the tank. Autumn blow-out or spring start-up from 200 ₾ per visit. The final estimate follows a site visit.
We design and install automatic irrigation for private gardens, guest houses and commercial grounds in Tbilisi and across Georgia: zones sized by flow and pressure, pop-up rotors and spray heads for lawns, drip lines for beds and hedges, a pump set with filtration, a controller with a rain sensor, and a compressor blow-out before winter.
Available as a separate order from 1,000 GEL
We take this work as a standalone order from 1,000 GEL, or as part of a turnkey house project. Inside a house project one contractor answers for the whole chain of work: one estimate and one warranty.
About the work
How does stroydom.ge deliver irrigation systems?
Lawn and planting watered without a hose: zones, sprinklers, automation.
What is included in irrigation systems?
Survey and hydraulics
Measured pressure and flow at the source, the site split into zones, heads chosen by radius and flow.
Trenching and sleeves
Mains and branches laid below the frost line, sleeves run under paths and paved areas.
Sprinklers and drip lines
Pop-up rotors and sprays across the lawn, drip tape and pressure-compensating emitters for planting.
Pump and automation
Pump set, filter, solenoid valves in valve boxes, controller with a rain sensor.
Commissioning and winterising
Arcs and schedule set, overlap checked, system blown out with a compressor before winter.
What is irrigation systems and why is it needed?
Irrigation is bought to protect what has already been paid for: turf, mature saplings and hedging cost more than the system itself, and a Tbilisi summer burns them off within two or three weeks of an owner being away. Hose watering delivers an uneven dose and stops entirely when nobody is on site. A system delivers that dose every night on schedule, and its buried half (pipes, sleeves and boxes) is laid once, before turf and paving.
What stages does irrigation systems consist of?
Each stage runs only after the previous one is accepted — so hidden works are never "closed" before inspection, and a mistake never has to be hunted for through screed and plaster.
- 1
Source survey
Real water pressure and flow, connection point, storage tank and power availability.
- 2
Site plan
Boundaries, lawn, planting, paths and structures measured, future zones marked out.
- 3
Hydraulic design
Zones sized by flow, heads, pipe diameters and pump set selected.
- 4
Trenches and sleeves
Mains below the frost line, sleeves under paths and terraces laid before paving.
- 5
Plant assembly
Pump, filter and manifold with solenoid valves in accessible valve boxes.
- 6
Heads and drip
Rotors and sprays across the lawn, drip lines through beds and hedging.
- 7
Commissioning
Arcs, radii and run times set per zone, spray overlap verified.
- 8
Handover
As-built layout, controller training, seasonal maintenance schedule.
How does stroydom.ge control quality on site?
How we work on site — materials, equipment, tolerances, documentation and acceptance of hidden works.
Tested before backfill
Every branch is charged and checked for leaks while the trench is still open.
Sleeves under paving
Crossings under paths are laid in advance, because afterwards they mean breaking the surface.
Head-to-head overlap
Heads are spaced so spray patterns overlap; otherwise the lawn dries in patches.
Access to valves
Valves are grouped in inspection boxes with access, never buried straight into the soil.
Documentation
As-built pipe layout, equipment datasheets, commissioning record and a seasonal checklist.
What should be accounted for in Tbilisi and Georgia?
What we account for here: seismic intensity 8 (MSK-64), hot summers and damp winters, steep terrain, older stock with timber floors and worn city networks.
Tbilisi mains pressure
Pressure drops on summer evenings when every neighbour waters. Solved by a night schedule and a storage tank with a pump.
Sloping plots
On the slopes of Vake and Kojori water runs downhill: upper zones receive less, so pressure-compensating emitters and separate run times are used.
Hard water
Limescale blocks fine nozzles. We fit an inlet filter and design for flushing.
Heat and evaporation
Watering at midday in +40 °C wastes water and scorches leaves. Schedules move to night and early morning.
The coast
Batumi and Kobuleti get far more rain: a rain and moisture sensor saves more water there than in eastern Georgia.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Indicative price ranges in lari (₾) for standard conditions. The final estimate is fixed after measurements and specification approval.
| Item | What is included and the price |
|---|---|
| Guide prices (Tbilisi, before survey) | The figures below are a working guide for budgeting. The final estimate follows a site visit: area, terrain, water source and site readiness all move the price. |
| Complete system | A 600–1000 m² garden with lawn and planting: 6,000–14,000 ₾ including equipment, pipework and commissioning. |
| Lawn zone | A branch of rotors or spray heads: 700–1,400 ₾ per zone depending on area and head count. |
| Drip irrigation | Lines through beds and hedging: 12–25 ₾ per linear metre with emitters and fittings. |
| Pump set | Pump with filter and tank connection: 900–2,500 ₾, tank not included. |
| Seasonal service | Autumn blow-out or spring start-up: from 200 ₾ per visit; annual contracts priced per site. |
| How we price | The estimate is built per zone: equipment, pipe by the metre, earthworks and commissioning as separate lines. |

Frequently asked questions — Irrigation systems
Should irrigation go in before or after the lawn?
Before. Trenches, sleeves under paths and valve boxes belong to the landscaping stage, while the ground is still open. Installing into a finished garden is possible but costlier and more invasive: turf has to be lifted in strips and paving has to be drilled through. Irrigation is cheapest for owners who plan it alongside the earthworks and landscaping.
How much water does the system need, and is a city connection enough?
What matters is instantaneous flow, not monthly volume: one zone of lawn rotors draws 1.5–3 m³/h at 3–4 bar. City supply in Tbilisi often delivers less, especially on summer evenings when every neighbour is watering. We therefore measure real pressure and flow first and size the zones around them; where supply falls short, a storage tank with a pump set solves both the flow and the supply cuts.
Why split the garden into zones instead of watering it all at once?
The source cannot feed every head simultaneously: run them together and pressure collapses, throw distance drops and the garden waters in patches. The system runs sequentially: the controller opens one zone at a time, at night or early morning. A typical 800–1500 m² plot takes 4–8 zones, and lawn and beds always sit in separate ones because their watering rates differ several times over.
How do lawn sprinklers differ from drip irrigation?
Lawns are watered overhead: pop-up rotors and spray heads rise while watering and retract into the ground so the mower can pass. Beds, shrubs, hedges and trees are watered by drip lines at the root: foliage stays dry and does not scorch in the sun, water use drops two to three times, and weeds between rows get less. Most gardens use both, in different zones.
What happens to the system over a Tbilisi winter?
It gets winterised. Night temperatures drop below zero, and water left in pipes and valves splits fittings and sprinkler bodies as it freezes, damage that only surfaces at the first spring start-up. Before the cold the system is blown out zone by zone with a compressor, valves are left open, and the controller is removed or switched to winter mode. Spring start-up reverses the process with a check of every head.
How expensive is it to run?
Ongoing costs are small: a blow-out in autumn and a start-up in spring, filter flushing, a controller battery, and the occasional head clipped by a mower or machinery. A rain sensor pays for itself on the water bill by skipping cycles after rain, and night watering cuts the evaporation losses that eat a noticeable share of the dose in Tbilisi heat.
