Our coverage of Melaleuca is built on the neighbouring suburbs: 434 jobs in Ellenbrook, 20 in The Vines and 27 in Aveley. That's where the local system knowledge comes from, and it travels the few minutes across.
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. Melaleuca is roughly 43 km from our Jandakot depot — same-week bookings are the norm, not the exception.

Grey Bassendean sand: fast-draining and water-repellent
Soil — Bassendean sands. Ancient, heavily leached dune sand — expect non-wetting patches and fast drainage. Matched nozzles, soil wetters and frequent short cycles keep it green.
Groundwater & bores. Groundwater under this part of the coastal plain is generally accessible, so a garden bore (new or revived) is a practical way to water without paying scheme rates. Water Corporation's roster and winter sprinkler ban still apply to bores.
Rainfall — about 672mm a year. Annual rain near 672mm and strongly seasonal (~77% May-Sep at Pearce Raaf); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Justin the young man who came to fix our problem was solution based, efficient and charming we would get help from Perth Reticulation again"
"Very impressive service. Came when they said they would, were quick and efficient and tidied up after."
"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."
"Tom was great! Very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. Great experience for me!"
"Perth Reticulation have serviced my retic at a couple of my properties, including replacing a bore pump. Bookings are made easily, very fast service and always provide an understandable explanation for the work. I recommend this company to all! Thanks John!"
Local reticulation questions
Yes, no council permission needed. Melaleuca is in the City of Swan. Dial 1100 for Dial before You Dig or go online prior to any works commencing on site. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.
Generally yes — Melaleuca 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.
Melaleuca sits on Bassendean sands. That is Perth's least water-retentive sand, and the one most likely to repel water once dry. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Melaleuca blocks vary street to street.
Melaleuca is about 43 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.
Repairs aren't quoted: you book one, and the technician diagnoses and fixes it on site, most faults in the same visit. If parts need ordering, we tell you the cost first.
