Your local Oakford 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 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 230 Google reviews.

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

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.

What kind of retic work do we do in Oakford?

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.

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.

Reticulation Oakford FAQs

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.

Verge rules by council

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.

Garden bores in Perth

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.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Oakford 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.

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.
