Your local Hillarys reticulation team

Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and our technician diagnoses and fixes on site, with the parts already on the van. New systems are quoted after a paid site assessment, credited in full to your install if you accept the quote within 30 days.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Joondalup, 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 Hillarys about 34 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

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

Soil — Quindalup coastal sands. Coastal sand this young holds almost no reserve moisture — gardens depend on the reticulation applying water evenly, making nozzle coverage checks worthwhile.

Groundwater & bores. The superficial aquifer here typically supports domestic garden bores — a big running-cost saving over scheme water for lawns. Note bore users now share the standard 2-days-per-week roster and the 1 June - 31 August switch-off.

Rainfall — about 727mm a year. The Swanbourne gauge averages ~727mm a year, ~78% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

What kind of retic work do we do in Hillarys?

From our Hillarys job book

A Hillarys controller stripped back and rewired

A Hillarys system had a solenoid (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) failing in the area the owner was concerned about, which our technician established and replaced. The larger piece of work was at the controller, which was stripped back and rewired.

Rewiring a controller rather than replacing it is worth doing where the unit itself is sound: terminal connections loosen, corrode or get crossed over years of repairs, and a careful rewire restores reliable switching without the cost of a new controller and the reprogramming that follows. One design note was recorded for the future: the system was originally designed for scheme water, and the lawn areas appear to have had 20mm PVC installed.

Knowing what a system was designed around matters when anything about the supply changes — pipe sized for one source and pressure will not necessarily suit another.

What Hillarys customers say

Dillon arrived and time and knew exactly what to do after a quick yet thorough survey. Job was completed on time, refuse squared away. Big callout to Dillon for a great job. I will be using them again when we rewnew our garden later this year!

Reticulation Hillarys FAQs

Yes, it's a permissible verge treatment. Hillarys is in the City of Joondalup. Irrigation pipes should be laid beneath the verge at a depth between 150mm and 300mm.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — Hillarys sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. That said, two neighbouring blocks can differ on yield and iron content, so it's an assessment rather than a given. Bores, pumps and bore-fed retic are all work we do.

Garden bores in Perth

Hillarys sits on Quindalup coastal sands. There is almost no reserve moisture in that profile, so even coverage matters more here than almost anywhere. The most common thing we get booked for in Hillarys is controller work, 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.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Hillarys is no exception, and bores are on it too. Your number decides your days, which is why the previous owner's controller settings are often wrong for you. We correct them on any visit.

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.
