Your local Marmion 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.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Joondalup, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 30 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.

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 Marmion’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Spearwood sands. Sand over limestone drains rapidly and can turn water-repellent in summer — a wetting agent, plus splitting the run into two shorter cycles inside the same watering window (both before 9am, or both after 6pm), is the standard fix in this belt.

Groundwater & bores. 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.

Rainfall — about 727mm a year. The Swanbourne gauge averages ~727mm a year, ~78% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

Finding the pipes before the Marmion concrete went down

A Marmion property was having a patio concreted, and our technician was there to make the reticulation safe for it. Sprinklers that would have sprayed onto the new patio were capped, the PVC running beneath the future slab was capped underground, and poly pipe capped and buried in the garden bed.

Digging the bed to find the pipe runs turned up something important: the main water feed comes from the front of the house, runs through towards the back garden, passes the pool and crosses the old garden bed — directly through the area due to be concreted. Our advice was to do the larger job now: locate every pipe in that area and replace the poly with PVC in a conduit before the concrete goes down.

A pipe left under a slab cannot be repaired without breaking it.

Reticulation Marmion FAQs

Yes, it's a permissible verge treatment. Marmion is in the City of Joondalup. Irrigation pipes should be laid beneath the verge at a depth between 150mm and 300mm.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — Marmion 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

Marmion sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. The most common thing we get booked for in Marmion is sprinkler & pop-up repairs, 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.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Marmion is no exception, and bores are on it too. The days come from your street number, so neighbours either side of you can differ. We set every controller we touch to the correct days before we leave.

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.
