Repairs are booked, not quoted over the phone — our technician diagnoses on site and fixes most faults in the same visit. New systems are quoted after a paid site assessment that's fully credited to your install.
Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Wanneroo — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Fast-draining coastal dunes mean the margin for a blocked or misaligned sprinkler is tiny — regular system checks plus wetting agents protect lawns in this sand. Domestic bores perform well across this sand-plain suburb, and an older bore is often worth servicing rather than abandoning. Bore watering follows the standard 2-day roster and the June-August sprinkler switch-off. Annual rain near 672mm and strongly seasonal (~77% May-Sep at Pearce Raaf); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August. Our depot in Jandakot puts Alkimos about 55 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

What does Alkimos’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Quindalup coastal sands. Young coastal dune sand that drains almost as fast as you water it, holding little moisture or nutrient. Short, frequent cycles with a wetting agent keep coastal lawns alive without waste.
Groundwater & bores. Good bore country: the superficial aquifer is within practical drilling reach under these sands. Watering from a bore costs pumping power rather than scheme rates — with the same 2-day roster and winter ban as everyone else.
Rainfall — about 672mm a year. The Pearce Raaf gauge averages ~672mm a year, ~77% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Full credit to George he showed up on time and got straight to work, no mucking around. George took the time to show me where i went wrong. Work area was left in a respectable manner."
"Very efficient and professional."
"Tom was really efficient and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do at my place and had it done and tidied. Gave some advice on how to get the lawn back to being green and healthy. At my neighbour's place where I look after their garden it was a bit different as he was virtually working blind as I was not able to help with what stations came on etc. However it did not faze him and even though it took some time he finally was able to work out what happening and getting it sorted. Also checked the other sprinklers and adjusted to suit and changed timing of retic to suit. I called Perth Retic as last time Justin had come to my place to sort out retic and he provided excellent service as well so I had no hesitation in calling them this time. I would recommend them without a doubt."
"I can only endorse and recommend the work undertaken by Perth Reticulation Experts. Justin has done an amazing job to repair our system and restore to full working order. I wouldn't have anyone else. Highly recommend."
"Efficient and collaborative team. Worked well to provide what I needed. Highly recommend them"
Reticulation Alkimos FAQs
Generally yes — Alkimos sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Bore water isn't metered like scheme water, so a bore can dramatically cut the running cost of keeping lawns and gardens alive. We install, service and repair bores and pumps; ask us whether your block is a good candidate. Domestic bores perform well across this sand-plain suburb, and an older bore is often worth servicing rather than abandoning. Bore watering follows the standard 2-day roster and the June-August sprinkler switch-off.
Fast-draining coastal dunes mean the margin for a blocked or misaligned sprinkler is tiny — regular system checks plus wetting agents protect lawns in this sand. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Alkimos job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
The Water Corporation roster applies across Alkimos like the rest of Perth — two watering days a week based on your address (bores included, since the 2022 roster change), and the winter sprinkler switch-off runs June through August. We set every controller we touch to the correct roster before we leave.
Yes — we cover all of Alkimos and the surrounding suburbs for reticulation repairs, servicing and new system installations.
We don't quote repairs over the phone — every system and fault is different. Call us and we'll book a technician to diagnose and fix it on site; if a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll give you an estimate before we proceed.
