Our nearest retic work is next door
Whether it's an older system that's started playing up or a new landscape that needs waterwise coverage from day one, we handle the lot — repairs, servicing, controllers, bores and full installations.
The track record for Oldbury sits in the surrounding streets — 14 jobs in Bertram, 51 in Byford and 12 in Anketell — and those neighbours share Oldbury's soil profile, controllers and failure patterns.
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. Our depot in Jandakot puts Oldbury about 19 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

Clay-loam soil: slow to soak, prone to runoff
Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Heavier alluvial clay-loams that take water slowly and can waterlog in winter — cycle-and-soak programming stops runoff, and hydrozoning suits mixed lawn-and-bed gardens.
Groundwater & bores. Mixed geology makes this variable bore country; success cases exist nearby but aren't guaranteed. Smart controllers and seasonal reprogramming deliver dependable savings regardless of water source.
Rainfall — about 750mm a year. Expect ~750mm annually per the Medina Research Centre gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~77% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Justin was fabulous. Worked hard to solve my problem. Gave me all the options and made appropriate recommendations for what to do in future."
"excellent service, friendly and prompt."
"Excellent service. Great communications up front, and serviceman turned up on time. He was efficient and quick and did a good job of explaining what he had done to fix the system."
"I am a returning customer. Demand for the service was high during summer and I needed to wait for 1 month; I waited and it turned out that the decision is correct. Tom helped me this time and the complicated job was done brilliantly. I will use the service again."
"Your impressive website and fast follow up after my enquiry made me decide to work with your company, the delivery of the work was second to none with John arriving on time, was efficient and obliging and solved our reticulation problem. I was hesitant at first as I wasn't sure how efficient you would be in containing costs."
Local reticulation questions
Yes, but the trenching needs written approval. Oldbury 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.
It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Oldbury varies, sometimes street to street. We can assess your block's suitability, and if a bore doesn't stack up, a well-zoned scheme-water system with matched nozzles is the next best water saver.
Oldbury sits on Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. That soil holds water well but takes it in slowly, so sprinklers can easily apply it faster than the ground absorbs. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Oldbury blocks vary street to street.
Water Corporation sets Oldbury'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 Medina station averages about 78 mm of rain in September and 39 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.
