"I am a returning customer. Demand for the service was high during summer and I needed to wait for 1 month; I waited and it turned out that the decision is correct. Tom helped me this time and the complicated job was done brilliantly. I will use the service again."

Your local The Lakes 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.
About 20 people call The Lakes home. Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the Shire of Mundaring — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Darling Scarp country: shallow gravelly soils over laterite and granite, with real elevation changes. Staged watering and pressure management keep coverage even on the grade. Hard lateritic rock under the hills makes domestic garden bores rarely economic here, so the wins are on the efficiency side: smart controllers, rain sensors, drip zones and a properly programmed winter switch-off. About 1093mm a year (Bickley), with ~77% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban. Our depot in Jandakot puts The Lakes about 49 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.
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 The Lakes’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. Gravelly hills soils shed water fast on slopes and hold pockets of clay below; short repeated cycles prevent runoff, and drip lines suit terraced beds.
Groundwater & bores. Scarp geology — laterite over granite — puts reliable groundwater out of practical reach for most blocks; well-designed scheme-water reticulation with weather-based control is the sensible path.
Rainfall — about 1,093mm a year. Annual rain near 1093mm and strongly seasonal (~77% May-Sep at Bickley); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

Reticulation The Lakes FAQs
Groundwater access around The Lakes is limited, so bores are less common here. The good news: a properly zoned system with a modern controller and matched sprinklers gets excellent results on scheme water — that's our bread and butter. Hard lateritic rock under the hills makes domestic garden bores rarely economic here, so the wins are on the efficiency side: smart controllers, rain sensors, drip zones and a properly programmed winter switch-off.
Darling Scarp country: shallow gravelly soils over laterite and granite, with real elevation changes. Staged watering and pressure management keep coverage even on the grade. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every The Lakes job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
The Water Corporation roster applies across The Lakes like the rest of Perth — two watering days a week based on your address (bores included, since the 2022 roster change), and the winter sprinkler switch-off runs June through August. We set every controller we touch to the correct roster before we leave.
Yes — we cover all of The Lakes and the surrounding suburbs for reticulation repairs, servicing and new system installations.
We don't quote repairs over the phone — every system and fault is different. Call us and we'll book a technician to diagnose and fix it on site; if a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll give you an estimate before we proceed.
