Reticulation Services Perth
A reticulation system that works properly is one you never have to think about. Your lawn stays green through summer and your water bill stays in check. Our reticulation services keep it that way, from fault-finding and repairs on an existing system through to a new system designed and installed around your garden.
We install, repair and maintain reticulation for homes across Perth's northern suburbs, from Alkimos and Eglinton through to Mindarie and Burns Beach. If your reticulation has stopped doing its job, we will find out why and fix it.
Assisting Perth homeowners
Every part of your reticulation system, handled
From design and installation through to maintenance and repair, we look after the whole irrigation system. With sprinklers limited to two watering days a week, every station has to perform: even distribution across the lawn areas, the right amount of water for the garden beds and nothing lost to leaks or overspray.
Our experienced team covers all aspects of the job, whether that is a repair to your existing reticulation, a new controller or a new reticulation system installed from scratch. We diagnose the problem, fix it with quality parts and leave the system programmed to suit your watering days.

Is your reticulation due for a repair?
-
Dry, brown patches in the lawn while the rest stays green
-
Soggy ground or pooling water around a sprinkler or valve box
-
Sprinkler heads that are broken, leaning or not popping up
-
Sprays hitting the fence, driveway or footpath instead of the garden
-
A station that will not turn on, or will not turn off
-
A controller that is blank, showing an error or ignoring its program
-
A water bill that has crept up for no obvious reason
Most faults come down to a handful of causes: a damaged pipe, a sticking solenoid valve, a wiring fault or a controller that has lost its settings. Our repair services start with fault finding, so you only pay for the repair the system needs. Leaks are worth fixing quickly to save money and water, since a slow one can run for weeks before it shows up as a soggy patch or a higher water bill.

What our Reticulation Services cover
Every job starts with an assessment of your system, so the work matches what your property needs. A job can include any of the following.
Fault finding
We test each station, the controller and the wiring to diagnose where the system is failing. That means no guesswork and no replacing parts that are working fine.
Reticulation repairs
Leaks, broken sprinkler heads, faulty solenoids, damaged pipes and wiring issues are repaired with quality parts, so the fix lasts. If an old component keeps failing, we will tell you when an upgrade makes more sense than another repair.
Reticulation installation
New systems are designed around your lawn areas and garden beds, with gear drive sprinklers where the lawn suits them and drip lines for targeted watering in the beds. Installed correctly from the start, a new system waters more efficiently and needs fewer repairs over time.
Controller programming and replacement
Your controller manages the watering schedule for the whole system. We program it around your watering days and the time of year, and if it is faulty, we repair it or replace it with a new controller.
Seasonal inspections
A check ahead of summer picks up small problems before they turn into larger, more expensive reticulation repairs. We run every station, adjust every sprinkler and set the controller for the months ahead.
Reticulation installation
A new system for a new lawn or an established garden
The easiest time to install reticulation is before new turf or garden beds go in, so pipes and sprinklers can be laid out to suit the finished garden. If new planting is part of the plan, our soft landscaping service can be planned around the same layout. New lawns and gardens can also qualify for a Water Corporation watering exemption while they establish.
Retrofitting an established garden takes more care. We work around existing plants, trees and paths, keep disruption to the ground to a minimum and set each zone to suit what is already growing there.
Either way, the aim is the right system for your property: zones grouped by water needs, sprinklers matched to the area they cover and quality parts throughout. A well-designed new reticulation system can reduce water lost to evaporation and run-off, and that saving shows up on your water bill.
Already have a system that is patchy or keeps breaking down? An upgrade to your existing reticulation system can be a better investment than another round of repairs.

Local expertise
Built for Perth's climate and watering rules
Perth's hot, dry summers and sandy soil make reticulation essential for a healthy lawn. Sand drains quickly and can turn water-repellent, so water has to go down evenly and at the right time to reach the roots of your turf and plants.
Water Corporation, Western Australia's main water utility, also sets the watering rules. Perth households get two rostered watering days a week, with sprinklers allowed once on each day, before 9am or after 6pm. Sprinklers must also be switched off from 1 June to 31 August each year. A system that is programmed correctly works within those limits, while a faulty controller that switches sprinklers on at the wrong time can still lead to a fine. Not sure which days are yours? Check your watering days with Water Corporation.
When to book a reticulation check
Once the winter rain eases and the switch-off ends on 31 August, your retic goes back to work just as Perth's growing season picks up. Early spring is the time to check it, so faults show up before the summer heat arrives.
The simplest way to stay on top of it is a garden maintenance package. Every package includes a reticulation inspection, so small problems are caught early and your system stays set for the season.
Get started with your reticulation service
Every reticulation job is different, so the cost depends on the work involved. A broken sprinkler head is a quick fix, while a wiring fault or a new installation takes more time and parts. Tell us what is happening with your system, or what you are planning, and we will come back to you with an estimate before any work begins.

FAQs
Have a question?
It depends on the fault. Repairs range from replacing a broken sprinkler head, which is usually quick, to tracing a wiring fault or a damaged pipe under the lawn, which takes longer. Contact us with what is happening and we will give you an estimate before any work begins.
