Our nearest retic work is next door
Whether it's an older system that's started playing up or a new landscape that needs waterwise coverage from day one, we handle the lot — repairs, servicing, controllers, bores and full installations.
Our coverage of Ashendon is built on the neighbouring suburbs: 39 jobs in Brookdale, 105 in Armadale and 29 in Kelmscott. That's where the local system knowledge comes from, and it travels the few minutes across.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Armadale, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Our depot in Jandakot puts Ashendon about 31 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.
We’re a Water Corporation Waterwise Garden Irrigator and an Irrigation Australia member, every job is backed by our workmanship warranty, and we’re rated 4.7 from 236 Google reviews.
Hills gravel: slopes, runoff and uneven sprinkler pressure
Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. Lateritic gravel and loam over clay or rock, usually on slope — runoff comes quickly, so cycle-and-soak programs and pressure-regulated heads suit hills blocks.
Groundwater & bores. Drilling through laterite and granite is costly with uncertain yield, so few hills properties bore. Efficiency — seasonal scheduling, rain sensors, leak-free hardware — is where the savings are.
Rainfall — about 1,093mm a year. Expect ~1093mm annually per the Bickley gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~77% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, but your landscape plan needs approving first. Ashendon is in the City of Armadale. Synthetic lawns are not permitted in the City of Armadale, as the process of laying them creates an impervious layer.
Groundwater access around Ashendon is limited, so bores are less common here and often not the right answer. A properly zoned system with matched sprinklers and a modern controller gets excellent results on scheme water instead.
Ashendon sits on Darling Scarp gravels. On a slope that soil sheds water sideways before it soaks, and there are clay pockets underneath. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Ashendon blocks vary street to street.
Water Corporation sets Ashendon's sprinkler days: check yours with your street number and postcode. In Perth and Mandurah that's two days a week, once before 9am or after 6pm, bores included; elsewhere the roster can differ. The winter switch-off runs from 1 June to 31 August. After it, the Bureau of Meteorology's Bickley station averages about 122 mm of rain in September and 67 mm in October, well above central Perth's 80 mm, so gardens here stay wetter into spring.
Repairs aren't quoted: you book one, and the technician diagnoses and fixes it on site, most faults in the same visit. If parts need ordering, we tell you the cost first.
