Your local Whitby reticulation team

One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. We're about 24 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.

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 Whitby’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — foothills gravels and clay-loams. The Ridge Hill shelf mixes gravel, sand and clay within single blocks; expect uneven drainage and tune each retic zone to its own soil rather than one blanket schedule.

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 750mm a year. Local average is ~750mm a year, about 77% of it in the May-September wet season (Medina Research Centre) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban.

From our Whitby job book

Lifting a new Whitby lawn to connect the back yard

A Whitby installation ran into a sequencing problem that costs money on a lot of new builds: the front yard landscaping had already been installed without a connection provided for the back yard reticulation. Getting water to the rear meant lifting the newly laid lawn, connecting to the mainline, and relaying the turf — work that would have been unnecessary had a connection point been left during the front yard works.

An additional eight metres of trenching and twenty metres of five-core wire were needed. Site fencing also had to be removed for access, and three cubic metres of soil brought in.

The lesson generalises to any staged landscaping project: leave a capped connection and a spare wire run wherever a later stage will need one, before the surface goes down.

Reticulation Whitby FAQs

Yes, but the trenching needs written approval. Whitby is in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Drip lines, sprinklers and reticulation may be installed on a verge providing any sprinklers or pipes installed comply with the Policy conditions.

Verge rules by council

It depends on your exact spot — groundwater access around Whitby 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.

Garden bores in Perth

Whitby 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 Whitby is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. Run times get set to put down roughly 10mm per rostered day, delivered in one or two cycles inside the same watering window, depending on how fast it soaks.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Whitby is no exception, and bores are on it too. The last digit of your street number sets your days. If you've just moved in, don't assume the existing program matches your address.

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.
