15 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.
Our Parkwood history runs 15 jobs deep, and the pattern is clear: controller work, new system installs and sprinkler & pop-up repairs lead the list. 8 of those jobs are from the last two years.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Canning, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Parkwood is roughly 7 km from our Jandakot depot — same-week bookings are the norm, not the exception.
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.
Clay-loam soil: slow to soak, prone to runoff
Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Moisture-retentive alluvium means less frequent watering than Perth's sands — but it needs staged cycles so water actually infiltrates instead of sheeting off.
Groundwater & bores. Clay and alluvium make bore yields less predictable here than on Perth's sands — worth checking local conditions before drilling. Efficiency upgrades (smart controller, rain sensor, drip zones) are the sure-thing alternative.
Rainfall — about 808mm a year. Local average is ~808mm a year, about 79% of it in the May-September wet season (Jandakot Aero) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban.

From our Parkwood job book
A Parkwood pump losing prime, and why
A Parkwood pump kept losing its prime within a short time of being started. The cause was below the foot valve: a home-made fitting held together with silicone and duct tape.
A pump draws water up from below, so any air getting in on the suction side breaks the prime — and unlike a leak on the pressure side, it does not necessarily show as water on the ground. It simply stops the pump doing its job.
Our technician showed the fittings to the owner and explained what they were doing, then replaced the foot valve and the fittings below it with proper compliant connections, remaking every threaded joint. Improvised repairs on the suction side of a pump are among the most misleading faults in irrigation, because the symptom appears at the pump and the cause is somewhere underneath it.

What Parkwood customers say
“PRE did a great job and were very responsive to my requirements. I had delays with other services and they were very accommodating and got me set up with part of the job so that I could get some lawn down for my young family to run around on. The end result has been great and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a good quality reticulation job done with friendly employees who know their stuff! Thanks a million guys!”
