Your local Highgate reticulation team

Every visit is backed by a full warranty, Waterwise endorsement and Irrigation Australia membership — and a review record no other Perth retic business matches.

Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Vincent — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Quick-draining yellow sand where moisture rarely lingers; frequent short cycles and periodic coverage checks keep growth even across the limestone country. 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. Expect ~718mm annually per the Perth Metro gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~79% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden. Our depot in Jandakot puts Highgate about 18 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

We’re Waterwise-endorsed and Irrigation Australia members, every job is backed by a full warranty, and we’re Perth’s most-reviewed retic specialist (rated 4.7 from 230 Google reviews).

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

Soil — Spearwood sands. Yellow Spearwood sand over limestone drains freely, so shorter, more frequent cycles with a wetting agent beat one long soak. The shallow limestone also makes trenching for repairs harder than it looks.

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 718mm a year. About 718mm a year (Perth Metro), with ~79% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban.

Reticulation Highgate FAQs

Generally yes — Highgate sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Bore water isn't metered like scheme water, so a bore can dramatically cut the running cost of keeping lawns and gardens alive. We install, service and repair bores and pumps; ask us whether your block is a good candidate. 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.

Bore pump repairs & servicing

Quick-draining yellow sand where moisture rarely lingers; frequent short cycles and periodic coverage checks keep growth even across the limestone country. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Highgate job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.

Servicing & system tune-ups

The Water Corporation roster applies across Highgate like the rest of Perth — two watering days a week based on your address (bores included, since the 2022 roster change), and the winter sprinkler switch-off runs June through August. We set every controller we touch to the correct roster before we leave.
