ᐅ Looking for tips on garden irrigation

Hello everyone,
After building the terrace last year, we are now about to start with the lawn and some shrubs.

We are now considering whether to plan for garden irrigation.

Our old garden was much larger and we rarely watered it at all.

But now we have a southwest-facing garden, so it probably makes sense to water it to prevent damage.

We have an outdoor tap, and next to it there is a cistern water tap.

From there, a conduit runs to the lawn.

But what next?

Should we install pop-up lawn sprinklers, or just a water outlet where the existing sprinkler can be connected as needed?

Do you use drip irrigation for the shrubs?

What systems do you have? And are you satisfied with them?

I made a rough sketch, unfortunately not very good since I’m on the go. But it should give you an idea of the situation.

Black is house and garage, blue is terrace, green will be the lawn, and the dark shading is the rough plan for the shrubs.

Our lawn is about 20 meters (65.6 feet) wide and 5–7 meters (16.4–23 feet) deep.

Best regards,

Birgit

That interests me as well. The design looks almost exactly like what I would like to have too. The question would also be how much the whole project ended up costing.
