"Fantastic service! Had some issues with our retic system and had no idea on how to solve these problems - So I phoned the team here at Perth Retic. They were very responsive and had a technician come out to assess what was going wrong. John clearly had good knowledge of the industry and was able to solve the problem quickly. Could not recommend Perth Retic enough - Very professional!"

Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.
Between 57+ commercial maintenance visits and our residential call-outs, Swan View is one of our busiest suburbs. On the tools, that mostly means controller work, servicing & tune-ups and sprinkler & pop-up repairs.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the Shire of Mundaring and the City of Swan, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Swan View is roughly 29 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.

Foothills soil: mixed ground needs zoned irrigation
Soil — foothills gravels and clay-loams. Foothills blocks often straddle two soil types, so a single program rarely fits — splitting stations by soil and slope is the reliable fix.
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 755mm a year. The Perth Airport M.O. gauge averages ~755mm a year, ~79% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job.

Chasing cut wiring in Swan View
A Swan View system had its wiring cut in multiple places, which meant the valves could not be found electronically the usual way — a wire tracer needs a continuous circuit to follow. Our technician located every solenoid valve (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) by potholing (digging small test holes to find it) along the mainline instead, then tested each station manually and repaired the pipework and sprinklers.
Four separate wiring repairs were made where the cable could be saved and signal recovered. Testing then identified further breaks still to be dealt with, and the condition of one section — dug up and chewed apart — suggests animal damage rather than a garden tool.
We would rather report that the wiring has more breaks in it than pretend the job is closed. On a system this compromised the realistic options are progressive repair or a new wire run, and the owner should get to choose.

Hear From Our Happy Customers...
"Summer is a busy time and they were the only company that eventually emailed to arrange a visit; other 3 companies never responded. On the day, the technicians arrived on time and went straight to diagnosing the issue with my retic. They had the issue fixed in no time. The technicians were friendly, professional and left everything as it was. Definitely will highly recommend their services."
"Professional, hard working and very knowledgeable. Our whole front and back garden fixed in just a few hours!"
"My retic system stopped working. The Technician did a really good job of fault finding, communicated what the issue was and then fixed it."
"Tom and the PRE team did a terrific job fixing our complicated system. Everyone we interacted with was affable and highly competent. We will use them again as and when necessary. Highly recommend!"
"My difficult reticulation job was handled efficiently with all problems solved. I would happily recommend this company."
Local reticulation questions
Not without approval first, if you're in the Shire of Mundaring. Swan View has a council boundary running through it — parts sit in the City of Swan, so check which side you're on. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.
It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Swan View varies, sometimes street to street. We can assess your block's suitability, and if a bore doesn't stack up, a well-zoned scheme-water system with matched nozzles is the next best water saver.
Swan View sits on foothills gravels and clay-loams. Drainage there can change within a single block, so stations often need different run times from each other. The most common thing we get booked for in Swan View is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. The schedule is built around about 10mm on each rostered day — split into two cycles inside the same watering window when the ground won't take it in one.
Swan View is about 29 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.
A controller repair isn't quoted: book the visit and it's diagnosed and fixed on site. An upgrade, say to Wi-Fi, can be quoted without a visit: tell us if your controller is hardwired or plugs into a power point (a photo helps). If it needs an electrician, we arrange one. Controller work is one of the jobs we do most in Swan View.
