Your local Southern River 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.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Gosnells, 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 Southern River about 8 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.
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 230 Google reviews.

What does Southern River’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Pinjarra Plain clay-loams. Fertile but heavy ground: winter waterlogging and summer surface sealing both happen here. Cycle-and-soak scheduling plus sensible zoning handles both.
Groundwater & bores. Bore prospects here depend on local clay layers and depth to the water table — some streets drill well, others don't, so a site assessment beats guesswork. If a bore isn't practical, a smart controller and rain sensor cut scheme-water use instead.
Rainfall — about 775mm a year. 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.

From our Southern River job book
A new controller for a Southern River system
A Southern River property had a new six-station controller installed and programmed, and its micro sprays replaced. Sizing a controller to the system is worth a moment's thought at replacement time.
A unit with more stations than the property needs costs more and adds terminals that stay empty; one with too few forces two areas onto a single station and a single run time, which is how gardens and lawns end up sharing a schedule that suits neither. Six stations matched what this system runs.
Programming it is the step that turns hardware into a working system: a controller straight out of the box carries a default schedule with no relationship to the property it has been fitted to, and leaving it there is the most common reason a newly installed controller appears not to work.
