"My retics is an old system installed unconventionally. It took Chris a lot of effort to locate the failed solinoid (which was burried underground!) and fix it. Chris is very friendly and professional. The charging system of the company is fair and reasonable. I will certainly seek help from this company in future. Tony, South Perth."

7 retic jobs here so far
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.
Our completed Jane Brook jobs so far have covered controller work, sprinkler & pop-up repairs and servicing & tune-ups — 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 Swan, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Jane Brook is roughly 31 km from our Jandakot depot — same-week bookings are the norm, not the exception.
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.
Clay-loam soil: slow to soak, prone to runoff
Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Clay-influenced soils on the old river plain absorb slowly; split each watering into cycle-and-soak bursts so it sinks in rather than pooling or running off.
Groundwater & bores. Drilling results vary locally, so weigh a bore assessment against efficiency upgrades first — often a controller, rain sensor and nozzle refresh reclaim most of the watering cost on scheme supply.
Rainfall — about 755mm a year. Annual rain near 755mm and strongly seasonal (~79% May-Sep at Perth Airport M.O.); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

From our Jane Brook job book
A shorted coil on a Jane Brook system
A Jane Brook system had a shorted coil on station 1, which our technician replaced. A short is a different failure from an open circuit, and it is the more urgent of the two.
An open circuit simply means the station will not run; a short draws excessive current through the controller's output, and on many units that will blow a fuse or damage the station output permanently — so one failed coil can take the controller with it if it is left. That is why a station that has stopped working is worth testing rather than ignoring until the next service.
Minor repairs were made to blocked and broken sprinklers, and the controller checked and programmed. As always, attending to the visible faults does not mean nothing else will surface later — only that what could be seen was dealt with.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Great experience. Quick, professional and did a good job. Slade, did a great job. Would use again"
"Found the tradesman very helpful and made great suggestions about my garden. He was very nice"
"Dylan did a great job in fixing the leak under the heavy metal water meter box. Dealings with the company were professional and communication was good. Dylan left the area clean, neat and tidy. I was impressed."
"I had a relatively small job which required the installation of some additional sprinkler heads into an established lawn. Of the many companies I called, Perth Reticulation Experts were the only one to respond in a reasonable timeframe. None of the others were interested in doing a relatively minor job. I received reminder emails for the appointment and the technician Kevin, messaged me on the day with progress of his schedule. Kevin carefully assessed the existing layout and was able to suggest some additional modifications, he was great to deal with, and I'm very happy with the work and will be using them for any further retic work required."
"My difficult reticulation job was handled efficiently with all problems solved. I would happily recommend this company."
Local reticulation questions
Yes, no council permission needed. Jane Brook is in the City of Swan. Dial 1100 for Dial before You Dig or go online prior to any works commencing on site.
It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Jane Brook varies, sometimes street to street. We can assess your block's suitability, and if a bore doesn't stack up, a well-zoned scheme-water system with matched nozzles is the next best water saver.
Jane Brook sits on Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. That soil holds water well but takes it in slowly, so sprinklers can easily apply it faster than the ground absorbs. The most common thing we get booked for in Jane Brook 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.
Water Corporation sets Jane Brook'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 Perth Airport station averages about 72 mm of rain in September and 43 mm in October, a little drier than 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.
