Your local Thornlie reticulation team
From a single broken station to a complete new system, our reticulation technicians service Thornlie and the neighbouring suburbs.
Many Thornlie properties run older reticulation that benefits from a service and a modern controller set to the current watering roster. Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Gosnells — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. These alluvial loams hold moisture well but infiltrate slowly — lower-precipitation nozzles or drip and staged run times prevent puddling on the flats. Bore feasibility varies street by street on this soil profile. Where drilling isn't attractive, the savings come from controller programming, rain sensors and fixing the leaks and misting heads that waste scheme water. Roughly 775mm a year here (Gosnells City), with about 79% of it falling May-September — the long dry rest of the year is why controller programming and coverage checks pay for themselves. Our depot in Jandakot puts Thornlie about 9 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 Thornlie’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. The aquifer is present but less uniformly accessible under this ground — get a local assessment before committing to a bore. Either way, a well-tuned system keeps watering inside the 2-day roster comfortably.
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.
