Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance
Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and our technician diagnoses and fixes on site, with the parts already on the van. New systems are quoted after a paid site assessment, credited in full to your install if you accept the quote within 30 days.
Our Carramar history runs 20 jobs deep, and the pattern is clear: controller work, servicing & tune-ups and leak & pipe repairs lead the list. 7 of those jobs are from the last two years.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Wanneroo, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Carramar is roughly 44 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.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic
Soil — Spearwood sands. Quick-draining yellow sand where moisture rarely lingers; frequent short cycles and periodic coverage checks keep growth even across the limestone country.
Groundwater & bores. This is favourable ground for garden bores — sand all the way to the water table in most streets. Bore-fed retic avoids scheme water charges, though the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off govern when it can run.
Rainfall — about 672mm a year. 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.

A leak at the valve socket in Carramar
A Carramar property had a leak at a station valve in the lawn, and the precise location mattered. The water was coming from the valve socket — the threaded fitting the solenoid (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) screws into — rather than from the valve body or the pipe.
That is a different repair: the socket has to be cut out and replaced along with the solenoid, because a damaged or perished socket will leak just as readily behind a brand new valve. Our technician cut out and replaced both.
The master valve (the main valve that shuts the whole system off) was also found stuck open, which was explained to the owner and replaced. Damage to a coil and wiring on the back lawn stations was identified as well.
Diagnosing exactly which component at a valve assembly is leaking determines whether the fix is a five-minute swap or a cut-and-rebuild.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, but get the City's approval first. Carramar is in the City of Wanneroo. Irrigation pipes and connections shall be laid beneath the nature strip between 150mm and 300mm deep. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.
Generally yes — Carramar sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. That said, two neighbouring blocks can differ on yield and iron content, so it's an assessment rather than a given. Bores, pumps and bore-fed retic are all work we do.
Carramar sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. The most common thing we get booked for in Carramar 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.
Carramar is about 44 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.
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 Carramar.
