Your local Clarkson reticulation team

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.

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. Our depot in Jandakot puts Clarkson about 47 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 230 Google reviews.

What does Clarkson’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Spearwood sands. Free-draining yellow sand with limestone often close beneath — great drainage, poor moisture holding. Splitting one watering into two cycles inside the same window suits it, and retic trenching can hit caprock.

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 672mm a year. Averages about 672mm a year at the Pearce Raaf gauge with roughly 77% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off.

What kind of retic work do we do in Clarkson?

Between 169+ commercial maintenance visits and our residential call-outs, Clarkson is one of our busiest suburbs. On the tools, that mostly means controller work, servicing & tune-ups and sprinkler & pop-up repairs.

From our Clarkson job book

A Clarkson controller swap that revealed a second fault

A Clarkson system was reported as not working, and the controller was indeed faulty — our technician located and replaced it. Testing afterwards produced no water at all, which told us the controller had never been the whole problem.

Working back along the supply, the isolation valve and master solenoid valve (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) were located, and the isolation valve was found to be faulty. That is a plumbing component rather than a reticulation one, so it was referred on for replacement and the fault formally reported rather than left as a verbal note.

This sequence is common enough to be worth naming: a genuinely faulty controller gets replaced, everyone assumes the job is done, and the system still does not run because a second fault upstream was masked by the first. Testing after the repair, not before it, is what catches them.

Reticulation Clarkson FAQs

Yes, but get the City's approval first. Clarkson is in the City of Wanneroo. Irrigation pipes and connections shall be laid beneath the nature strip between 150mm and 300mm deep.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — Clarkson 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.

Garden bores in Perth

Clarkson 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 Clarkson 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.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Clarkson is no exception, and bores are on it too. The days come from your street number, so neighbours either side of you can differ. We set every controller we touch to the correct days before we leave.

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.
