4 retic jobs here so far
Every visit is backed by our workmanship warranty. We're a Water Corporation Waterwise Garden Irrigator and an Irrigation Australia member, with 230 Google reviews averaging 4.7 stars.
The Ocean Reef jobs we've done to date centre on controller work, sprinkler & pop-up repairs and bore & pump 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 City of Joondalup, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Our depot in Jandakot puts Ocean Reef about 40 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.
Coastal dune sand: fast drainage and your sprinklers
Soil — Quindalup coastal sands. Water races through Quindalup dune sand, so one long soak runs straight past the roots — two short cycles on the same watering day, plus soil wetters, are the proven local approach.
Groundwater & bores. This suburb sits on Perth's sandy coastal plain over the superficial aquifer, where garden bores are common and generally productive. Bore water isn't metered like scheme supply, so a serviced bore slashes the cost of keeping gardens green — the standard 2-day roster and June-August sprinkler switch-off still apply.
Rainfall — about 718mm a year. About 718mm a year (Perth Metro), with ~79% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban.

From our Ocean Reef job book
A new bore-fed system for an Ocean Reef property
An Ocean Reef property had a complete new reticulation system installed, fed from an existing bore. Our technician connected new mainline pipework to the bore supply point with a new 25mm isolation ball valve, then installed the PVC pipework, solenoid valves (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station), valve boxes, shrub sprays and pop-up sprinklers throughout.
A new pump relay went in and the controller was wired to both the pump start and the meter counter. The controller itself is a four-station WiFi unit, which means the schedule can be adjusted from a phone rather than at the box — genuinely useful on a bore system, where run times want changing with the season.
The system was left fully installed and programmed but with the controller in the off position, ready to be switched on when the garden needed it.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, it's a permissible verge treatment. Ocean Reef is in the City of Joondalup. Irrigation pipes should be laid beneath the verge at a depth between 150mm and 300mm.
Generally yes — Ocean Reef sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Depth, yield and iron content still vary block to block, so it's worth assessing rather than assuming. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.
Ocean Reef sits on Quindalup coastal sands. There is almost no reserve moisture in that profile, so even coverage matters more here than almost anywhere. The most common thing we get booked for in Ocean Reef is controller work, 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.
Water Corporation sets Ocean Reef'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 Perth Metro station averages about 80 mm of rain in September and 40 mm in October.
A controller repair isn't quoted: book the visit and it's diagnosed and fixed on site. An upgrade, say to Wi-Fi, can be quoted without a visit: tell us if your controller is hardwired or plugs into a power point (a photo helps). If it needs an electrician, we arrange one.
