"PRE did a great job and were very responsive to my requirements. I had delays with other services and they were very accommodating and got me set up with part of the job so that I could get some lawn down for my young family to run around on. The end result has been great and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a good quality reticulation job done with friendly employees who know their stuff! Thanks a million guys!"

Your local East Cannington 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 Canning, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 13 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 230 Google reviews.

What does East Cannington’s soil and water mean for your retic?
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. This suburb sits on Perth's sandy coastal plain over the superficial aquifer, where garden bores are common and generally productive. Bore water isn't metered like scheme supply, so a serviced bore slashes the cost of keeping gardens green — the standard 2-day roster and June-August sprinkler switch-off still apply.
Rainfall — about 775mm a year. Expect ~775mm annually per the Gosnells City gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~79% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

An East Cannington assessment, written down
An East Cannington property was assessed rather than repaired, and the report is worth reproducing in substance because it separates three different problems. First, the controller's dial is broken, so its settings cannot be changed at all — the unit needs replacing, ideally with a power outlet installed close by so it can be positioned sensibly rather than wherever the existing cable reaches.
Second, the master valve (the main valve that shuts the whole system off) is stuck open, which means the mainline is permanently pressurised and any downstream fault leaks continuously. Third, multiple pop-ups and nozzles in the front lawn need replacing.
Those are three separate pieces of work with three different costs, and setting them out that way lets an owner decide the order rather than being handed a single figure. The master valve is the one we would deal with first.

Reticulation East Cannington FAQs
Yes, subject to conditions. East Cannington is in the City of Canning. To minimise unnecessary water use, property owners and occupiers are encouraged not to install or operate automatic irrigation systems. Watering days are a separate matter — those come from Water Corporation, not the council.
Generally yes — East Cannington sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Iron staining and yield are the two things worth establishing before you drill, and both are local to your block. We handle bores, pumps and the reticulation they feed.
East Cannington 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 East Cannington is servicing & tune-ups, 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.
East Cannington is about 13 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.
