Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.
Most of our Ballajura volume runs through commercial facilities and housing maintenance programs — 241+ visits covering cyclical servicing, fault repairs and system upgrades — with residential work alongside: controller work, servicing & tune-ups and sprinkler & pop-up repairs are the common jobs here.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Swan, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Ballajura is roughly 28 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. Bassendean sands hold the least moisture of any Perth soil; gardens rely almost entirely on well-tuned reticulation, making head spacing and run times critical.
Groundwater & bores. 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.
Rainfall — about 718mm a year. Around 718mm falls annually (Perth Metro data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most.

Tree roots and a dislodged pop-up in Ballajura
Tree-root intrusion shows up in our Ballajura job history more than in most of Perth, and one job here shows what it does at ground level. On station 2, a pop-up had been pushed out of position by substantial root growth underneath it.
Cutting the roots out wholesale risked the pipework they had grown around, so our technician chiselled out the area immediately around the head instead and installed a new pop-up in the correct position. Elsewhere on the same system a blocked micro nozzle had left one garden area unwatered, and a broken pop-up in the lawn was throwing water onto the street rather than the grass.
Both were repaired, the system flushed and the controller adjusted. Roots do not usually break a retic system outright — they move it, slowly, until the coverage no longer matches the garden.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Four days after moving over from Victoria contractors came and dug up and destroyed our reticulation system in our front yard putting in street drainage. I was completely horrified as I knew nothing about retic. Matt and George from Perth Reticulation Experts attended to repair our destroyed system. I cannot thank and recommend them highly enough. They fixed the whole system and now it is running like new. Their knowledge is second to none. They were very punctual and their perfect work ethic made the whole process perfect. thankyou so very very much."
"Justin was on time, has a very good manner and is very knowledgeable. We have arranged for further work on our property!"
"Tom and Justin did a great job installing new reticulation for my yard. It was a large area so two days worth of work. They were both friendly, installed the works with due care and went through everything in detail whenever I had questions as well as at handover at the end. Happy with the results. Highly recommended."
"It's been awhile since we had good trades people help us. Today Tom and Izzy where amazing. They located the issue very quickly and went into action!. I felt enormously happy to have had such good workmanship from the guys. They where also very friendly, tidy and professional. If you are looking for retic help then Perth Reticulation Experts are the place to be.!"
"Your impressive website and fast follow up after my enquiry made me decide to work with your company, the delivery of the work was second to none with John arriving on time, was efficient and obliging and solved our reticulation problem. I was hesitant at first as I wasn't sure how efficient you would be in containing costs."
Local reticulation questions
Yes, no council permission needed. Ballajura is in the City of Swan. Dial 1100 for Dial before You Dig or go online prior to any works commencing on site.
Generally yes — Ballajura sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. What varies is depth, yield and how much iron comes up with the water — all worth checking on your block before committing. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.
Ballajura 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 Ballajura is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. We aim for around 10mm on each of your two watering days, and decide on site whether that wants one run or two cycles inside the same window.
Water Corporation sets Ballajura'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 Perth Metro station averages about 80 mm of rain in September and 40 mm in October.
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 Ballajura.
