A regular stop for our reticulation crews

One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.

Our Aubin Grove history runs 59 jobs deep, and the pattern is clear: controller work, solenoid & valve repairs and sprinkler & pop-up repairs lead the list. 41 of those jobs are from the last two years.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Cockburn, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Aubin Grove is roughly 8 km from our Jandakot depot — same-week bookings are the norm, not the exception.

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.

Grey Bassendean sand: fast-draining and water-repellent

Soil — Bassendean sands. Grey Bassendean sand is Perth's most water-repellent soil — water beads and runs off dry patches. Wetting agents plus short, frequent cycles are close to mandatory for an even lawn.

Groundwater & bores. 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.

Rainfall — about 808mm a year. The Jandakot Aero gauge averages ~808mm a year, ~79% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

The wrong connectors on an Aubin Grove system

An Aubin Grove controller was showing very low resistance on station 3 — a reading that points at a short rather than a break, and one worth chasing because a shorted station can take the controller with it. Our technician checked the valves at the rear and found the cause: two joins in the wiring harness had been made with standard electrical connectors rather than irrigation-rated ones.

Ordinary connectors are not designed to sit in wet ground. Once moisture gets in, the join corrodes and can short, which is precisely the fault that blows a controller fuse.

Both joiners were replaced with the correct type, the coil on that station replaced, and the controller fuse renewed. The system was then tested end to end and the programming checked.

Using the right connector underground is the difference between a join that lasts and one that takes out a controller.

A seized, rusted isolation valve in Aubin Grove

The complaint at this Aubin Grove home in February 2026 was simple: the retic wasn't working, with the front lawn and garden stations both out. Our technician replaced the master solenoid, along with the isolation valve, which had rusted so badly it could no longer be turned. Station 1 got a new solenoid and station 2 a new coil.

The controller was the remaining weak point. The unit was old and its dial was starting to play up, so our technician recommended replacing it soon, with a quote for that to follow separately. An isolation valve that won't turn is more than an inconvenience, because it is how you shut the system down to work on it or to stop a burst.

What we actually find in Aubin Grove

We've completed 59 jobs in Aubin Grove. For this pattern check we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent technician notes — a capped sample, deliberately small and not random. 4 involved failed solenoids and valve coils (23% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way) and 3 involved mainline leaks and split poly (33%). Counts overlap, because one job can carry both. It is not Aubin Grove's fault rate, and we don't publish it as one.

Local reticulation questions

Yes, though the City would rather you didn't irrigate at all. Aubin Grove is in the City of Cockburn. The City recommends non-irrigated Waterwise verges.

Verge rules by council→

Generally yes — Aubin Grove sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Depth, yield and iron content still vary block to block, so it's worth assessing rather than assuming. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.

Garden bores in Perth→

Aubin Grove sits on Bassendean sands. That is Perth's least water-retentive sand, and the one most likely to repel water once dry. The most common thing we get booked for in Aubin Grove is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. The schedule is built around about 10mm on each rostered day — split into two cycles inside the same watering window when the ground won't take it in one.

Perth soil types & watering→

Water Corporation sets Aubin Grove'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 Jandakot Airport station averages about 83 mm of rain in September and 47 mm in October, close to central Perth's 80 mm. Of our 51 homeowner and business jobs in Aubin Grove between 2020 and 2025, 51% came in spring (September to November), against 38% across Perth, so a check booked in early September beats the October–November rush.

A controller repair isn't quoted: book the visit and it's diagnosed and fixed on site. An upgrade, say to Wi-Fi, can be quoted without a visit: tell us if your controller is hardwired or plugs into a power point (a photo helps). If it needs an electrician, we arrange one. Controller work is one of the jobs we do most in Aubin Grove.
