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 planting and reticulation rules sit with the Shire of Mundaring, 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 The Lakes about 49 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 The Lakes’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Darling Scarp gravels. 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.
Groundwater & bores. 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.
Rainfall — about 1,093mm a year. 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.

Reticulation The Lakes FAQs
Not without approval first. The Lakes is in the Shire of Mundaring.
Groundwater access around The Lakes is limited, so bores are less common here and often not the right answer. A properly zoned system with matched sprinklers and a modern controller gets excellent results on scheme water instead.
The Lakes sits on Darling Scarp gravels. On a slope that soil sheds water sideways before it soaks, and there are clay pockets underneath. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — The Lakes blocks vary street to street.
The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — The Lakes is no exception, and bores are on it too. Your number decides your days, which is why the previous owner's controller settings are often wrong for you. We correct them on any visit.
Repairs aren't quoted — every system and fault is different, so you book a repair rather than a quote. The technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit. If a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll tell you the cost before we proceed.
