Leaky Pipe Systems

Leaky Pipe Systems have been committed to the development of porous hose watering techniques since 1985.

Leaky Pipe initially found an active application within soft fruit, vegetable & flower growing.  This flexible hose make a name for itself in the Commercial Horticulture Industry as a trustworthy irrigator for mid to long-term cropping situations.  

Making it's debut at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 1986, the original product was introduced to the keen ameteur market.   In the Nineties, Leaky Pipe found itself being used throughout the landscape construction and maintenance industry as a cost-efficient and reliable way to discreetly water parks & gardens, green roofs, green screens, embankments and large areas of planters.   Its design and method simplicity appealed to Designers, Quantity Surveyors and Installers alike.   Quick and easy to install, plantings were being increasingly successful through lower plant losses and quicker establishment of Soft Landscaping.  One proof of this can be seen on the Screening Mounds of ARLA Foods, Aston Clinton, Aylesbury where plant losses have been reduced from 70% to virtually zero.

Today, this success with borders, hedging and trees can be achieved by the keen gardener using the materials shown here at low cost.  Leaky Pipe, Polytube, a few barbed fittings and a simple (but good quality), battery-powered timer.  For larger schemes, we can offer systems that are self-adjusting according to weather shifts.
