Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the Shire of Mundaring, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 47 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.

What does Chidlow’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. Rocky lateritic ground makes trenching hard work and slopes make pressure uneven — head-by-head pressure regulation and soak cycles are the local essentials.
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. Annual rain near 1093mm and strongly seasonal (~77% May-Sep at Bickley); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

"Fantastic service! Had some issues with our retic system and had no idea on how to solve these problems - So I phoned the team here at Perth Retic. They were very responsive and had a technician come out to assess what was going wrong. John clearly had good knowledge of the industry and was able to solve the problem quickly. Could not recommend Perth Retic enough - Very professional!"

Reticulation Chidlow FAQs
Not without approval first. Chidlow is in the Shire of Mundaring. Note that your watering days don't come from the council; that roster is set state-wide.
Groundwater access around Chidlow 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.
Chidlow sits on Darling Scarp gravels. On a slope that soil sheds water sideways before it soaks, and there are clay pockets underneath. The most common thing we get booked for in Chidlow 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.
Chidlow is about 47 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.
Repairs aren't quoted — every system and fault is different, so you book a repair rather than a quote. The technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit. If a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll tell you the cost before we proceed.
