Your local Kensington reticulation team
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.
Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of South Perth — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Well-drained yellow sands over Tamala limestone: water moves through fast, so a properly scheduled controller and soil wetters do the heavy lifting. Good bore country: the superficial aquifer is within practical drilling reach under these sands. Watering from a bore costs pumping power rather than scheme rates — with the same 2-day roster and winter ban as everyone else. The Perth Metro gauge averages ~718mm a year, ~79% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job. Our depot in Jandakot puts Kensington about 13 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 Kensington’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Spearwood sands. Sand over limestone drains rapidly and can turn water-repellent in summer — wetting agent plus shorter, more frequent cycles is the standard fix in this belt.
Groundwater & bores. This suburb sits on Perth's sandy coastal plain over the superficial aquifer, where garden bores are common and generally productive. Bore water isn't metered like scheme supply, so a serviced bore slashes the cost of keeping gardens green — the standard 2-day roster and June-August sprinkler switch-off still apply.
Rainfall — about 718mm a year. 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.
