What does Hovea’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. Hills blocks sit on gravel over clay or rock: water either races off or perches, so per-zone cycle-and-soak scheduling beats one uniform program.
Groundwater & bores. Few viable garden bores exist this far up the scarp — the practical levers are controller upgrades, seasonal reprogramming and keeping every sprinkler head in spec.
Rainfall — about 755mm a year. Expect ~755mm annually per the Perth Airport M.O. gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~79% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

What kind of retic work do we do in Hovea?
A Hovea owner had attempted their own reticulation repairs a couple of months earlier, including replacing a solenoid (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station), and ended up with an entire station not working — by which point a good deal of the lawn had died. That is a common and expensive sequence. A valve replacement looks simple, and it is, provided the wiring is remade correctly and the station tested afterwards; when it is not, the failure is silent, and nobody discovers it until the grass shows it. Our technician replaced and raised several pop-ups, and swapped a leaking tap for a ball valve, which is the more durable fitting for something turned regularly. The most useful advice we can give on any do-it-yourself retic repair is to run the station afterwards and watch every head.
