Technical knowledge of designing and calculating water flow, water friction rate, pipe line size, pump capacity, route of water line, location of control gate valves, selection of irrigation devices like sprinklers, micro sprinklers, drip lines and dripper nozzles will help.

Insight
"Coordination with landscape consultants/companies is necessary to capture the irrigation market. Before signing a contract, check if the required materials are available on time and the area ready to place the irrigation line," Siddharth Rai, Owner of Ficus Landscape.

How it was done
The idea of spending life amidst greenery drove Siddharth Rai to launch Ficus Landscape in 1993. He started with a plant nursery. In 1993, an IPCL (Indian Petrochemicals Corp. Ltd) official came to his nursery to buy plants, and later offered him the execution of IPCL’s landscape project. Ficus Landscape now provides complete landscape solutions, including horticulture, irrigation and lighting plans, along with drainage systems.
