"Four days after moving over from Victoria contractors came and dug up and destroyed our reticulation system in our front yard putting in street drainage. I was completely horrified as I knew nothing about retic. Matt and George from Perth Reticulation Experts attended to repair our destroyed system. I cannot thank and recommend them highly enough. They fixed the whole system and now it is running like new. Their knowledge is second to none. They were very punctual and their perfect work ethic made the whole process perfect. thankyou so very very much."

1 retic job here so far
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.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Rockingham, 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 Safety Bay about 26 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

Coastal dune sand: fast drainage and your sprinklers
Soil — Quindalup coastal sands. Young coastal dune sand that drains almost as fast as you water it, holding little moisture or nutrient. Short, frequent cycles with a wetting agent keep coastal lawns alive without waste.
Groundwater & bores. The superficial aquifer here typically supports domestic garden bores — a big running-cost saving over scheme water for lawns. Note bore users now share the standard 2-days-per-week roster and the 1 June - 31 August switch-off.
Rainfall — about 750mm a year. Roughly 750mm a year here (Medina Research Centre), with about 77% of it falling May-September — the long dry rest of the year is why controller programming and coverage checks pay for themselves.

Local reticulation questions
Yes for lawn and garden; other materials need a written application. Safety Bay is in the City of Rockingham. Acceptable materials are allowed to cover 50% of the verge or 10m2, whichever is the greater.
Generally yes — Safety Bay 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.
Safety Bay sits on Quindalup coastal sands. There is almost no reserve moisture in that profile, so even coverage matters more here than almost anywhere. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Safety Bay blocks vary street to street.
Water Corporation sets Safety Bay'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. If you know where your valve boxes are, say so when you book: on an older system, finding buried valves can take longer than replacing them.
