Borehole drilling for Fourways homes
In Fourways the garden and the pool usually drive the enquiry. Storage, not just the hole, is what makes that demand work.
Matching the hole to a heavy garden
A Fourways garden can drink far more than a household supply comfortably provides in a hot, dry spell, and a borehole is drilled with that demand in mind. The important part comes after the drilling: storage lets the pump run steadily across the day and lets irrigation draw from the tanks, so a hole that would never meet the demand in real time can still keep a large garden green.
Tell the contractor roughly how the garden is watered - sprinklers, a hose, an automated system - because that changes how much water has to be available and how quickly.
Thinking about the house as well
Many Fourways owners want more than a garden supply: they want a reserve that keeps the house going through a municipal interruption. That is a bigger design, adding storage, a booster and a safe changeover, and it is easier to plan from the start than to bolt on later.

Frequently asked questions
Can one borehole keep my whole Fourways garden going?
Usually yes with adequate storage, if the hole yields enough. Storage lets a steady pump meet a garden's uneven demand.
Can the same system supply the house?
It can, with more storage, a booster and a safe changeover to the mains. It is best planned at the outset.
