10 retic jobs here so far
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.
Our completed Hilton jobs so far have covered sprinkler & pop-up repairs, controller work and leak & pipe 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 Fremantle, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 8 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. Quick-draining yellow sand where moisture rarely lingers; frequent short cycles and periodic coverage checks keep growth even across the limestone country.
Groundwater & bores. Domestic bores perform well across this sand-plain suburb, and an older bore is often worth servicing rather than abandoning. Bore watering follows the standard 2-day roster and the June-August sprinkler switch-off.
Rainfall — about 808mm a year. Annual rain near 808mm and strongly seasonal (~79% May-Sep at Jandakot Aero); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

From our Hilton job book
A Hilton system leaking with the controller off
A Hilton owner reported something that sounds contradictory: the controller could be switched off, and water still leaked — enough that the mains had to be shut off to the whole property to stop it. There is nothing contradictory about it.
Water flowing when the controller is off means a valve is open mechanically, holding itself open on water pressure with no electrical signal at all. Our technician located the station valve that was stuck on and replaced it, and replaced the coil on the master valve (the main valve that shuts the whole system off), which was also stuck on.
Leaks in the poly were repaired and nozzles and spectrum emitters replaced, then the controller reset to the correct time, date and watering days. Having to shut the mains off to stop reticulation is a clear sign the fault is in a valve, not in the programming.

Local reticulation questions
Usually needs the City's approval. Hilton is in the City of Fremantle. Trafficable paving and/or consolidated inorganic mulch less than one third of the verge (excluding the crossover) and 2m away from the trunk of a street tree. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.
Generally yes — Hilton sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Depth, yield and iron content still vary block to block, so it's worth assessing rather than assuming. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.
Hilton 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 Hilton is sprinkler & pop-up repairs, so that's where the technician starts. Run times get set to put down roughly 10mm per rostered day, delivered in one or two cycles inside the same watering window, depending on how fast it soaks.
Hilton is about 8 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: you book one, and the technician diagnoses and fixes it on site, most faults in the same visit. If parts need ordering, we tell you the cost first. When you book, tell us which stations are affected and whether the heads won't pop up or are spraying everywhere, so the technician arrives with the right parts.
