"After noticing a spike in our water bills, we contacted Perth Landscaping and Gardening and was impressed with their fast, friendly and efficient service! Booking was easy and John turned up the very next day. No time was wasted - after a quick explanation John knew exactly what the problem was. He reset the retic program for us and explained the settings. Highly recommend this company."

Your local Karawara reticulation team
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.
Leached grey sand with almost no clay or nutrient holding; it turns non-wetting in summer, so soil wetters and a well-programmed controller earn their keep here. Shallow sandy geology means bores in this area usually deliver reliable garden water; pairing one with well-tuned reticulation keeps large lawns affordable. The 2-day roster and winter ban apply to bore watering too. Roughly 718mm a year here (Perth Metro), with about 79% of it falling May-September — the long dry rest of the year is why controller programming and coverage checks pay for themselves. Our depot in Jandakot puts Karawara about 10 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 Karawara’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Bassendean sands. This grey sand belt is notorious for dry patch — hydrophobic by mid-summer. Frequent light watering, wetting agents and even sprinkler coverage are the local formula.
Groundwater & bores. This is favourable ground for garden bores — sand all the way to the water table in most streets. Bore-fed retic avoids scheme water charges, though the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off govern when it can run.
Rainfall — about 718mm a year. Averages about 718mm a year at the Perth Metro gauge with roughly 79% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off.

Reticulation Karawara FAQs
Generally yes — Karawara 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. Shallow sandy geology means bores in this area usually deliver reliable garden water; pairing one with well-tuned reticulation keeps large lawns affordable. The 2-day roster and winter ban apply to bore watering too.
Leached grey sand with almost no clay or nutrient holding; it turns non-wetting in summer, so soil wetters and a well-programmed controller earn their keep here. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Karawara job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
Our service vehicles work the inner-Perth area every week, so most Karawara repairs are booked within days, not weeks. We don't quote repairs over the phone — the technician diagnoses on site and fixes most faults in the same visit.
