Smart garden - less gardening work, more relaxation

Mowing robots

Mowing robots are usually the first step to a smart garden and are available from just a few hundred euros. The small lawnmowers move independently through the garden and cut the lawn to the desired length. When moving over an area, a mowing robot orients itself on the so-called boundary cables or boundary wires, which are anchored in the ground by means of cable connectors and fastening clamps. When the battery is empty or when it starts to rain, the mowing robot returns to its base station. As the machine criss-crosses the lawn, the grass is mowed down to the same height everywhere and therefore looks even better maintained. Here, you find all the benefits of having a mowing robot: 

- it automatically takes over the often time-consuming and strenuous garden work;

- especially suitable for people with allergies or back problems;

- it is low-noise, emission-free and space-saving;

- with this mowing technique, the cut grass remains on the lawn and thus serves as mulch that supplies the soil with nutrients;

- due to the constant mowing, the turf becomes denser and less lawn thatch is formed.

Irrigation systems

Especially in summer, watering lawns, flowers, plants and flowerbeds can be time-consuming and cumbersome if you have to pull a metre-long hose through the garden or haul several watering cans. The solution for this are the so-called smart garden irrigation systems, which are available in a wide range of variants and make gardening much easier and more efficient. A simple irrigation system, which controls one or two lawn sprinklers, is available for under 150 euros. The cost changes according to the size of the garden and your specific requirements. Which are the benefits?

- Irrigation systems take over the watering automatically, even during the holidays;

- especially suitable for physically handicapped persons;

- sensors determine exactly how much water the plants need so that they are not "drowned" or water is wasted;

- saving water is not only easy on your wallet, but also on the environment.

Videos, lighting, app for a smart garden

In addition to automated lawnmowers and irrigation systems, there are a number of other ways to "upgrade" your garden, such as systems that use apps to coordinate light, camera, intercom and motion detectors. Here you can dim your lights in the garden or around the house, record videos and communicate via intercom. A personal security level is defined by app so that, for example, a video recording is made if the motion detectors detect an unusual movement in the garden. This not only makes the smart garden convenient, but also more secure.
