Bassendean sands hold the least moisture of any Perth soil; gardens rely almost entirely on well-tuned reticulation, making head spacing and run times critical. Sandy soils over shallow groundwater make this classic garden-bore territory; running retic from a bore takes garden watering off the scheme-water bill. Bores follow the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off as scheme users. Averages about 775mm a year at the Gosnells City gauge with roughly 79% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off. We're about 12 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.
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 Saint James’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Bassendean sands. Deep grey leached sand that repels water once it dries out: break the cycle with wetting agents and shorter, more frequent irrigation starts.
Groundwater & bores. Groundwater under this part of the coastal plain is generally accessible, so a garden bore (new or revived) is a practical way to water without paying scheme rates. Water Corporation's roster and winter sprinkler ban still apply to bores.
Rainfall — about 775mm a year. Around 775mm falls annually (Gosnells City data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most.

"Justin was fabulous. Worked hard to solve my problem. Gave me all the options and made appropriate recommendations for what to do in future."
"A++++ service! I was looking for quotes to install reticulation at my place. After talking to Joanne, I looked no further. I received a very competitive quote and she arrange for John to come and install the system. Amazing communication and a fantastic job. John even came the Saturday I laid the grass to make sure the sprinklers are at the best height, saying he will follow up in a couple of months to assess if any problems occurred. What a champ! I fully recommend them!"

Reticulation Saint James FAQs
Generally yes — Saint James sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Bore water isn't metered like scheme water, so a bore can dramatically cut the running cost of keeping lawns and gardens alive. We install, service and repair bores and pumps; ask us whether your block is a good candidate. Sandy soils over shallow groundwater make this classic garden-bore territory; running retic from a bore takes garden watering off the scheme-water bill. Bores follow the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off as scheme users.
Bassendean sands hold the least moisture of any Perth soil; gardens rely almost entirely on well-tuned reticulation, making head spacing and run times critical. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Saint James job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
