Smart, water-wise Hunter and Rainbird irrigation systems for premium homes across Melbourne's south-east. Designed by a real horticulturist, installed by a licensed plumber, dialled in on your phone.
Hand-watering five minutes a night feels right, but the roots stay at the surface. The first 35 degree day comes through and the lawn cooks. Deep, infrequent watering is what builds resilient turf.
Melbourne water rules change. Weekends away. The kids have soccer. The lawn doesn't care. By the time you remember the hose, you've already lost the grass.
Half the irrigation we replace was installed by a paver or a builder's mate. Wrong heads, wrong pressure, dry patches. A real irrigation design is a hydraulic calculation, not a guess.
No fluff, no upsells on site. Every Regal install includes a real design, a clean install and a controller you can actually use.
A site visit, a hydraulic check on your mains pressure, then a zoned plan that matches your turf, your beds and your sun. Drawn before a shovel hits the ground.
Mini-loader trenching so your lawn recovers fast. Hunter MP rotators or Rainbird rotors for even, low-pressure watering. A licensed plumber on the tap-in. Reinstated and tidied before we leave.
Hunter Hydrawise or Rainbird LNK wifi controller, your choice. App on your phone, weather-aware, restriction-friendly. Programmed for you on day one, with a 30-minute handover so it's actually yours.
Anyone can lay pipe. We chose Hunter, kept plumbing in-house and stayed in one part of Melbourne for a reason.
Most irrigation jobs in Victoria need a licensed plumber on the mains tap-in. Most installers sub it out, which means delays, a markup and someone who doesn't care about the lawn. Daniel runs our plumbing licence in-house. One team, one accountability.
Daniel, licensed plumber, on every Regal installWe install the two brands that actually last. Hunter and Rainbird have been the industry standard for 40 years between them, and both offer 5 year manufacturer warranties. Parts for both are stocked locally in Melbourne, so a future repair is never a special order.
Genuine Hunter and Rainbird parts on every installWe work the south-east of Melbourne only. Glen Waverley, Brighton, Hampton, Beaumaris, Bentleigh, Mount Waverley, Toorak, Camberwell, Doncaster, Berwick and the suburbs between. If something needs a callout, we're 25 minutes away, not three hours.
5.0 from 52 Google reviews, all localThe system serves the lawn, not the other way round. We design for Sir Walter Buffalo, Kikuyu, Couch and cool-season blends differently. Watering schedules are written so roots go deep, the lawn handles heat and you don't pay to water concrete.
Horticulture-led design, every zone tuned to the turfWe're Michael and Daniel. Michael runs the horticulture side, Daniel runs the plumbing. Between us, more than a decade of putting in irrigation across Melbourne's south-east. We answer our own phones, we're on the tools on every job, and we live ten minutes from where most of our work is. If you call and we don't pick up, we're under a deck somewhere with a wrench.
We work one part of Melbourne and we work it well. If you're inside the shaded zone, we're rarely more than 25 minutes from your front gate. Outside it, we'll usually decline so we can stay accountable for callouts.
We come out, look at the block, check your mains pressure and draw the zones. You get a fixed quote on the spot or, if it's complex, by email within 24 hours.
Usually 45 minutesPay a 30% deposit, pick a date. Most installs run Mondays to Fridays. We hold one slot a week for urgent jobs through summer.

We use a Kanga mini-loader for the trenching so the lawn recovers fast. You're usually back on it within a fortnight.
Yes. In Victoria, any tap-in to mains water has to be done by a licensed plumber. Most irrigation installers sub it out, which adds delay and a markup.
Our co-founder Daniel is a licensed plumber. He's on every Regal job, so the tap-in is in-house, compliant and there's no chasing a sub-contractor's diary.
Hunter Hydrawise and Rainbird LNK both auto-adjust. They pull local weather data and skip watering when it rains. You can also lock in permanent water-rule schedules so the system stays compliant without you thinking about it.
Most of our clients on a smart controller use less water than they did hand-watering, because the system never over-waters and never forgets to skip a rainy day.
Yes. Standard on the Whole Property and Premium Smart packages is a dedicated drip line for garden beds. Drip uses far less water than sprays, sits below the mulch and waters exactly where the roots are.
For pots we run a drop line off the drip with adjustable emitters. One controller, every plant on the property.
Hunter and Rainbird parts are stocked across Melbourne, so a future repair is never a special order. Service calls are a flat $179 to come out plus $399 for the service work itself, all in writing before we start.
The system itself has a 5 year manufacturer warranty on Hunter and Rainbird parts, and 2 years on our workmanship.
Yes. We design head-to-head coverage so every metre of lawn is reached by at least two sprinklers, and we use pressure-compensating Hunter MP rotators on slopes to keep the water output even from top to bottom of the grade.
Tricky blocks are what the on-site quote is for. We measure pressure, look at the geometry and design for it.
Sir Walter loves a deep, less-frequent water. We program zones with longer run times but fewer days a week so the roots go deep. The MP rotators put down water at a rate the soil can absorb, which means no run-off and no shallow roots.
If you've got Sir Walter mixed with cool-season blends in shade, we'll usually zone them separately so each gets the schedule it actually wants.
Both Hunter Hydrawise and Rainbird LNK are apps on your phone. You can adjust schedules from anywhere, see how much you've watered and skip a cycle in two taps. We program it for you on day one and run a 30-minute walkthrough so you actually own it.
