Do Deep Root Watering Systems Have To Be Ugly?

Have you ever seen those ugly pipes protruding up out of the ground near the bases of trees and wondered why deep root watering systems have to be ugly? Why can’t they be disguised somehow so that they blend into the landscape and become effectively invisible? Surely one’s view of a park or garden would be improved if we did not have to look at an ugly plastic pipe sticking out of the ground at the bases of the trees? And let’s not forget that those same ugly deep root watering systems are left open to the elements so they fill up with dirt and debris. To become virtually useless in directing water down to the deep roots of the trees where it is needed.

Deep root watering systems are a terrific way of getting much needed water down to the roots of the trees when rain does not fall for long periods. It is their unsightliness that is so irritating. Surely they can be made to look more attractive to the eye. So they become pleasing to look at while still doing the job they are intended for. Let’s make those ugly plastic pipes useful and at the same time, make our parks and nature strips less of an eyesore.

These ugly deep root watering systems have irritated us for years, so we have been designing ways to prevent the pipes from collecting dirt and debris while also disguising them, by attaching water-filled units which are shaped as ‘rocks’, ‘hydrants’ or ‘mushrooms’ and rendered to blend beautifully to any garden environment, whether public or private. So home gardeners could also use them as gravity fed containers for above ground irrigation systems (instead of the equally unsightly upside-down bottles of water!)
