Your local North Lake reticulation team

One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Cockburn, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 3 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 North Lake’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Bassendean sands. Bassendean sands hold the least moisture of any Perth soil; gardens rely almost entirely on well-tuned reticulation, making head spacing and run times critical.

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 808mm a year. Around 808mm falls annually (Jandakot Aero data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most.

What kind of retic work do we do in North Lake?

From our North Lake job book

Testing a North Lake system with the owner watching

A North Lake property had a broken pipe in the back yard, which our technician repaired in the 19mm poly. The system was then tested with the owner present — worth noting, because it changes what the visit produces.

Watching a station run is how an owner sees which heads are throwing short, which are covering paving and which parts of the garden are getting nothing, and it turns a list of parts into a shared understanding of the system. Five sprinklers on station 1 and one on station 2 were replaced to improve coverage.

It can also be a practical requirement: rebate programs covering leaking pipe and valve repairs have required the customer to be present at the time of the repair, so being there can matter for more than the explanation.

What we actually find in North Lake

Of our 18 North Lake jobs we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent notes — capped, and not a random sample. 4 involved failed solenoids and valve coils, against 23% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way. Enough to shape where we start; not enough to call North Lake unusual.

What North Lake customers say

Justin was professional and very helpful he also had the correct parts on board in order to complete the job properly and efficiently. I have sometimes found that other providers use whatever leftovers they happen to have with them. I can recommend this company for an excellent level of work proficiency. I haven't had the bill yet so can't at this time comment on whether I was content with the financial outlay B Evans

Reticulation North Lake FAQs

Yes, though the City would rather you didn't irrigate at all. North Lake is in the City of Cockburn. The City recommends non-irrigated Waterwise verges.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — North Lake sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. What varies is depth, yield and how much iron comes up with the water — all worth checking on your block before committing. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.

Garden bores in Perth

North Lake 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 North Lake is sprinkler & pop-up repairs, so that's where the technician starts. We aim for around 10mm on each of your two watering days, and decide on site whether that wants one run or two cycles inside the same window.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — North Lake is no exception, and bores are on it too. Because the roster keys off your street number, two houses on the same street can be on different days — worth checking rather than copying a neighbour.

Perth watering days explained

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.
