5 retic jobs here so far
Every visit is backed by our workmanship warranty. We're a Water Corporation Waterwise Garden Irrigator and an Irrigation Australia member, with 230 Google reviews averaging 4.7 stars.
Our completed Henderson jobs so far have covered servicing & tune-ups, controller work and sprinkler & pop-up repairs — and every one adds to the local system knowledge our technicians bring to the next booking.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Cockburn, 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 Henderson about 10 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic
Soil — Spearwood sands. Well-drained yellow sands over Tamala limestone: water moves through fast, so a properly scheduled controller and soil wetters do the heavy lifting.
Groundwater & bores. Good bore country: the superficial aquifer is within practical drilling reach under these sands. Watering from a bore costs pumping power rather than scheme rates — with the same 2-day roster and winter ban as everyone else.
Rainfall — about 750mm a year. The Medina Research Centre gauge averages ~750mm a year, ~77% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

From our Henderson job book
The battery tab still in a Henderson controller
A Henderson system had low pressure caused by a solenoid valve (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) that would not close — a valve staying open bleeds pressure away from whichever station is meant to be running. Our technician located it with a valve locator, replaced it and remade the wire connections, then repaired a broken 20mm PVC lateral, a pop-up sprinkler and blocked nozzles, and replaced two damaged spotter boxes.
The smallest item on the list is the one worth repeating: the battery tab was still in the controller. New controllers ship with a plastic tab isolating the backup battery, and if it is never removed the battery does nothing — so at the first power interruption the clock resets and the system starts watering on the wrong days, off its rostered schedule.
Pulling that tab takes a second and is missed remarkably often.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, though the City would rather you didn't irrigate at all. Henderson is in the City of Cockburn. The City recommends non-irrigated Waterwise verges.
Generally yes — Henderson 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.
Henderson 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 Henderson is servicing & tune-ups, so that's where the technician starts. We set run times to deliver about 10mm on each of your two rostered days, and split the run into two cycles inside the same watering window where the soil needs it.
Water Corporation sets Henderson's sprinkler days: check yours with your street number and postcode. In Perth and Mandurah that's two days a week, once before 9am or after 6pm, bores included; elsewhere the roster can differ. The winter switch-off runs from 1 June to 31 August. After it, the Bureau of Meteorology's Medina station averages about 78 mm of rain in September and 39 mm in October, close to central Perth's 80 mm.
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.
