Your local Oldbury reticulation team
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.
Oldbury is one of the area's older suburbs — gardens (and the retic buried under them) can date back generations, which makes wire-tracing, valve rebuilds and controller upgrades everyday work here. 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. 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. 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. Our depot in Jandakot puts Oldbury about 19 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.
We’re Waterwise-endorsed and Irrigation Australia members, every job is backed by a full warranty, and we’re Perth’s most-reviewed retic specialist (rated 4.7 from 230 Google reviews).
What does Oldbury’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Clay-influenced soils on the old river plain absorb slowly; split each watering into cycle-and-soak bursts so it sinks in rather than pooling or running off.
Groundwater & bores. Drilling results vary locally, so weigh a bore assessment against efficiency upgrades first — often a controller, rain sensor and nozzle refresh reclaim most of the watering cost on scheme supply.
Rainfall — about 750mm a year. About 750mm a year (Medina Research Centre), with ~77% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban.

Reticulation Oldbury FAQs
It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Oldbury varies. We can assess your property's suitability, and if a bore doesn't stack up, a well-zoned scheme-water system with a smart controller is the next best water saver. 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.
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. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Oldbury job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
The Water Corporation roster applies across Oldbury like the rest of Perth — two watering days a week based on your address (bores included, since the 2022 roster change), and the winter sprinkler switch-off runs June through August. We set every controller we touch to the correct roster before we leave.
Yes — we cover all of Oldbury and the surrounding suburbs for reticulation repairs, servicing and new system installations.
We don't quote repairs over the phone — every system and fault is different. Call us and we'll book a technician to diagnose and fix it on site; if a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll give you an estimate before we proceed.
