About Dalitso Irrigation
We're a Cape Town irrigation team serving the city and surrounds. We install and look after water-wise sprinkler and drip systems — from small courtyard gardens to larger estates and small commercial sites.
Cape Town gardens are unique — sandy soils, wind, seasonal water restrictions. Our systems are designed for that reality: efficient, tunable, and easy to live with.
