Landscaped gardens on sloped terrain face challenges when it comes to irrigation. Water can quickly run downhill, leaving upper areas dry and lower areas soggy.
To manage this, it’s important to divide the slope into zones with separate controls. Drip irrigation works well here as it delivers water slowly and precisely.
Terracing the slope into flat sections or adding berms can help slow water movement and improve absorption. This also reduces erosion and supports soil health.
Pressure-compensating emitters maintain even flow, even when elevation changes. Run shorter watering cycles more frequently to allow water to soak in gradually.
Plan early for irrigation when designing sloped landscapes. Layered planting and smart system layout make a big difference in water efficiency and plant success.
