Eco-friendly water management and thoughtful design are the keys to creating a lush alfresco sanctuary
Outdoor entertaining has long been an integral part of life in Australia. Whether it’s a long lunch with family under the shade of a gum tree, an evening barbecue in a backyard kitchen, or a quiet glass of wine on the patio surrounded by luxuriant greenery, our backyard areas are more than just gardens, they’re sanctuaries.
But creating and then maintaining that perfect outdoor space takes more than great design and landscaping. Behind every amazing garden and outdoor living area is one crucial element — water. Managing it well, both sustainably and efficiently, makes all the difference.
Effortless entertaining
The vision of a lush outdoor entertaining area starts with water that’s safe and reliable. Whether it’s filling glasses at your alfresco dining area or rinsing produce from your veggie patch, clean filtered water ties the experience together and Davey makes that possible. With more than 90 years of experience making products for Australian conditions, and a network of over 250 Master Dealers nationwide, Davey delivers reliable solutions backed by local expertise.
With UV disinfection systems like Davey Aquashield, homeowners enjoy advanced protection against bacteria and microorganisms, without relying on added chemicals. It helps ensure every drop is fresh and safe, giving you confidence that the water you share with family and friends is dependable and backed by Australian engineering and support.
Going with the flow
Inconsistent water pressure can disrupt everything from garden care to daily routines. That’s why Davey developed the DynaDrive and EvoDrive smart variable-speed pump systems that maintain constant, steady pressure across the entire property by automatically adjusting to demand. The result is smooth, whisper-quiet performance with reduced energy use, keeping gardens watered, shower pressure consistent, and water related appliances running exactly as they should.
Keeping gardens lush
Of course, it’s the garden itself that brings an outdoor sanctuary to life. Healthy gardens need reliable watering and Davey delivers. With solutions like pump and pressure systems working together, Davey ensures consistent irrigation and dependable pump performance, even through the tough summer conditions, providing solutions that keep every corner of your garden thriving.
Harvesting rainwater
Managing water responsibly is now an essential part of great outdoor design, and Davey has been helping Australians do it for decades. Rainwater harvesting is one of the simplest ways to reduce reliance on mains water and make the most of what nature provides. Sustainability is also becoming central to outdoor design. More homeowners are now looking for ways to reduce reliance on mains water and make use of what nature provides.
With smart technology like the Davey RainBank, stored rainwater is automatically directed to gardens, lawns, and outdoor sinks, switching seamlessly to mains when tanks run low. The system operates quietly in the background, ensuring your plants are cared for and water is never wasted. By making rainwater use effortless, Davey helps homeowners lower their water bills, reduce pressure on local supplies, and keep their outdoor sanctuaries thriving sustainably.
Planning for success
The key to a truly functional outdoor space is thoughtful planning, and water should be part of that design from the very beginning. Just as you’d choose the right furniture or lighting, selecting the right Davey system ensures every element of your garden and outdoor living area works in harmony.
Davey offers integrated solutions for water pressure, filtration, and rainwater use. Each system is built to deliver reliable performance and lasting efficiency, helping homeowners create spaces that are both sustainable and easy to maintain.
