"A++++ service! I was looking for quotes to install reticulation at my place. After talking to Joanne, I looked no further. I received a very competitive quote and she arrange for John to come and install the system. Amazing communication and a fantastic job. John even came the Saturday I laid the grass to make sure the sprinklers are at the best height, saying he will follow up in a couple of months to assess if any problems occurred. What a champ! I fully recommend them!"

8 retic jobs here so far
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.
The Oakford jobs we've done to date centre on new system installs, leak & pipe repairs and controller work. Wherever your fault sits, the diagnosis process is the same disciplined one we run on every Perth job.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 14 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 236 Google reviews.

Grey Bassendean sand: fast-draining and water-repellent
Soil — Bassendean sands. Deep grey leached sand that repels water once it dries out: break the cycle with wetting agents and by splitting the run into two shorter cycles inside the same watering window (both before 9am, or both after 6pm).
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. Annual rain near 808mm and strongly seasonal (~79% May-Sep at Jandakot Aero); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

From our Oakford job book
Iron buildup in an Oakford garden bed line
An Oakford property had a poly line in a garden bed that kept blocking, and the cause was iron. Bore water in parts of Perth carries dissolved iron, which oxidises on contact with air and deposits inside pipework and emitters — the same process that stains paving orange.
Over time it narrows the pipe and blocks nozzles, and no amount of clearing individual emitters fixes a line that is furring up internally. Our technician replaced that section of poly, installed three new sprinklers on risers (the upright pipe a sprinkler sits on) with new pipework and fittings, and replaced two blocked micro nozzles.
The pipework was then flushed with the bore running until the water came through clear. Flushing until clear, rather than for a set time, is the only way to know the new pipe is starting clean.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, but the trenching needs written approval. Oakford is in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Drip lines, sprinklers and reticulation may be installed on a verge providing any sprinklers or pipes installed comply with the Policy conditions.
Generally yes — Oakford 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.
Oakford 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 Oakford is leak & pipe 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.
Water Corporation sets Oakford's sprinkler days: check yours with your street number and postcode. In Perth and Mandurah that's two days a week, once before 9am or after 6pm, bores included; elsewhere the roster can differ. The winter switch-off runs from 1 June to 31 August. After it, the Bureau of Meteorology's Jandakot Airport station averages about 83 mm of rain in September and 47 mm in October, close to central Perth's 80 mm.
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. If your water bill has jumped or a patch of garden never dries, mention it when you book: we pressure-test the system to find the leak.
