I have some clients that have modest sloped hillside, wedge-shaped, roughly 2000sf. The slope is not even but is approximately 4:1. The intent is to provide summer irrigation of this area with soaker hoses - inground irrigation is not an option at this time.

Given the fact that a water source is approximately 85 feet away from the apex, at the bottom of the slope, is this a feasible plan? Will there be sufficient pressure at the top of the run for soakers to work effectively? Generally, water pressure from hose bibs in this area is more than adequate to run soakers on flat ground - in fact pressure regulators are often required to lower it enough so that soakers are not blown out. But I'm not familiar enough with running hoses uphill to know if this will work.

any pearls of wisdom?
