Your local Lathlain reticulation team

Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and our technician diagnoses and fixes on site, with the parts already on the van. New systems are quoted after a paid site assessment, credited in full to your install if you accept the quote within 30 days.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the Town of Victoria Park, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Lathlain is roughly 15 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 230 Google reviews.

What does Lathlain’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Bassendean sands. The grey sands here drain instantly and fight re-wetting in summer, so splitting one watering into two cycles inside the same window — with a wetter twice a year — is what works.

Groundwater & bores. Sandy soils over shallow groundwater make this classic garden-bore territory; running retic from a bore takes garden watering off the scheme-water bill. Bores follow the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off as scheme users.

Rainfall — about 718mm a year. Around 718mm falls annually (Perth Metro data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most.

From our Lathlain job book

Bore line and bubblers for a Lathlain garden

A Lathlain installation was built around a bore, with two new 25mm solenoid valves (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) positioned at the rear near the pump. The planted areas were run on bore-rated drip line rather than spray heads, and the fruit trees at the far rear were given adjustable bubblers.

Both choices are deliberate. Drip line rated for bore water resists the blocking that ordinary drip suffers on a sediment-carrying supply, and bubblers deliver a high volume slowly to a single root zone, which is what a fruit tree wants — a deep soak rather than a fine spray across the surface.

A 25mm lateral was run to the front and capped for future works, so that section can be extended later without disturbing what has just been installed.

What we actually find in Lathlain

Of our 18 Lathlain jobs we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent notes — capped, and not a random sample. 4 involved mainline leaks and split poly, against 33% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way. Enough to shape where we start; not enough to call Lathlain unusual.

What Lathlain customers say

Tom and Justin did a great job installing new reticulation for my yard. It was a large area so two days worth of work. They were both friendly, installed the works with due care and went through everything in detail whenever I had questions as well as at handover at the end. Happy with the results. Highly recommended.

Reticulation Lathlain FAQs

Yes, but only waterwise nozzles. Lathlain is in the Town of Victoria Park. All irrigation pipework and associated fittings are to be laid at a depth of not more than 300mm, nor less than 150mm, below ground level.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — Lathlain sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. That said, two neighbouring blocks can differ on yield and iron content, so it's an assessment rather than a given. Bores, pumps and bore-fed retic are all work we do.

Garden bores in Perth

Lathlain sits on Bassendean sands. That is Perth's least water-retentive sand, and the one most likely to repel water once dry. The most common thing we get booked for in Lathlain is controller work, 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.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Lathlain is no exception, and bores are on it too. Your number decides your days, which is why the previous owner's controller settings are often wrong for you. We correct them on any visit.

Repairs aren't quoted — every system and fault is different, so you book a repair rather than a quote. The technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit. If a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll tell you the cost before we proceed.
