Your local Applecross reticulation team
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.
Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Melville — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Sand over limestone drains rapidly and can turn water-repellent in summer — wetting agent plus shorter, more frequent cycles is the standard fix in this belt. Sandy soils over shallow groundwater make this classic garden-bore territory; running retic from a bore takes garden watering off the scheme-water bill. Bores follow the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off as scheme users. Around 727mm falls annually (Swanbourne data), close to 78% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most. We're about 10 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.
We’re Waterwise-endorsed and Irrigation Australia members, every job is backed by a full warranty, and we’re Perth’s most-reviewed retic specialist (rated 4.7 from 230 Google reviews).

What does Applecross’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Spearwood sands. Classic Spearwood profile: free-draining sand, limestone beneath. Lawns respond to frequent light watering, and sprinkler layouts need decent pressure to cover evenly.
Groundwater & bores. Groundwater under this part of the coastal plain is generally accessible, so a garden bore (new or revived) is a practical way to water without paying scheme rates. Water Corporation's roster and winter sprinkler ban still apply to bores.
Rainfall — about 727mm a year. Local average is ~727mm a year, about 78% of it in the May-September wet season (Swanbourne) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban.
