Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.
The Daglish work in our job system tells its own story: the most common call-outs here are controller work, servicing & tune-ups and leak & pipe repairs. 6 of our Daglish jobs landed in just the last two years, so the local knowledge is current — not folklore.
About 1,419 people call Daglish home. Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Subiaco, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 17 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.
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. Yellow Spearwood sand over limestone drains freely, so splitting your watering-day run into two shorter cycles, with a wetting agent, beats one long soak. The shallow limestone also makes trenching for repairs harder than it looks.
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 727mm a year. Roughly 727mm a year here (Swanbourne), with about 78% of it falling May-September — the long dry rest of the year is why controller programming and coverage checks pay for themselves.

From our Daglish job book
A Daglish system dug up by the dog
A Daglish controller had power and not a single valve would respond. The cause was above ground rather than in the electronics: the wiring had been dug up by the owner's dog.
Our technician located the wire runs, isolated the sections that were not working and replaced them. The master solenoid valve (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) and a station valve were replaced, along with non-working pop-ups and nozzles, and the 9V battery renewed before the controller was set to water on two days a week for fifteen minutes a station and left in automatic.
One further item was recorded for attention: several tees and elbows are both leaking and poorly installed, and need redoing. Fittings that were wrong from the start tend to be found during an unrelated repair, and they are worth listing rather than leaving to fail on their own schedule.
What we actually find in Daglish
Of our 24 Daglish jobs we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent notes — capped, and not a random sample. 4 involved mainline leaks and split poly, against 33% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way. Enough to shape where we start; not enough to call Daglish unusual.

Local reticulation questions
Verge rules are set by your council, and Daglish is in the City of Subiaco. It doesn't publish a resident-facing verge irrigation spec we've been able to read, so check with the City of Subiaco before verge work rather than assuming — the councils either side of it differ sharply.
Generally yes — Daglish 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.
Daglish 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 Daglish is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. Run times get set to put down roughly 10mm per rostered day, delivered in one or two cycles inside the same watering window, depending on how fast it soaks.
Daglish is about 17 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 Daglish.
