A regular stop for our reticulation crews
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.
The Gwelup work in our job system tells its own story: the most common call-outs here are sprinkler & pop-up repairs, controller work and leak & pipe repairs. 10 of our Gwelup jobs landed in just the last two years, so the local knowledge is current — not folklore.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Stirling, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 26 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. 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 718mm a year. Around 718mm falls annually (Perth Metro data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most.

Replacing the coil, not the valve, in Gwelup
A Gwelup master valve (the main valve that shuts the whole system off) was found buried under heavy grasses, which is where a good deal of the time on this job went. The intention on arrival was to replace the whole master valve, but with it exposed and testable the coil turned out to be the failed component and the valve body sound — so the coil alone was swapped and a system check run.
That is worth doing whenever the valve body is in good condition: it is a fraction of the work and leaves the plumbing undisturbed. Our technician also repaired and lowered the faucet elbow connecting to the drip line, repaired a leak in the drip line itself and replaced pop-ups where needed.
Lowering the elbow matters — a fitting standing proud is the part that gets caught and snapped.
