Call (08) 6263 4644 to book a repair, or book a site assessment for a new system.

Mostly housing and facility irrigation maintenance

One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults.

Most of our Yokine volume runs through commercial facilities and housing maintenance programs — 367+ visits covering cyclical servicing, fault repairs and system upgrades — with residential work alongside: controller work, servicing & tune-ups and bore & pump work are the common jobs here.

Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Stirling, 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 Yokine about 22 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 236 Google reviews.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic

Soil — Spearwood sands. Sand over limestone drains rapidly and can turn water-repellent in summer — a wetting agent, plus splitting the run into two shorter cycles inside the same watering window (both before 9am, or both after 6pm), is the standard fix in this belt.

Groundwater & bores. This is favourable ground for garden bores — sand all the way to the water table in most streets. Bore-fed retic avoids scheme water charges, though the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off govern when it can run.

Rainfall — about 718mm a year. Annual rain near 718mm and strongly seasonal (~79% May-Sep at Perth Metro); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

Re-zoning a Yokine garden

A Yokine job in 2024 was about zoning rather than breakage. The garden beds were all running on one station, which becomes a problem when beds sit at different heights: the higher of two raised beds was never going to receive the same water as the ones at ground level while they shared a station and a run time.

Our technician installed a new solenoid (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) to create an additional station and split the beds into two sections, giving the raised bed its own station and its own schedule. New rigid risers (the upright pipe a sprinkler sits on) and sprays went into that bed, and new poly pipe with rigid risers and sprays into the three front beds.

A leak in the poly connected to the drip line, and another in the drip line in the centre bed, were repaired at the same time. Zoning by need rather than convenience is what makes run times mean anything.

What we actually find in Yokine

We've completed 404 jobs in Yokine. For this pattern check we read the 6 with the fullest, most recent technician notes — a capped sample, deliberately small and not random. 4 of them involved mainline leaks and split poly, against 33% across the 1,781 Perth jobs sampled the same way. It tells our technician what to check first. It is not Yokine's fault rate, and we don't publish it as one.

Local reticulation questions

Yes, no prior approval needed. Yokine is in the City of Stirling. Ideally your waterwise verge won't need a permanent irrigation system once established. If you do require irrigation, sub-surface drip irrigation is recommended.

Verge rules by council→

Generally yes — Yokine sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. What varies is depth, yield and how much iron comes up with the water — all worth checking on your block before committing. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.

Garden bores in Perth→

Yokine sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. The most common thing we get booked for in Yokine is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. We aim for around 10mm on each of your two watering days, and decide on site whether that wants one run or two cycles inside the same window.

Perth soil types & watering→

Water Corporation sets Yokine's sprinkler days: check yours with your street number and postcode. In Perth and Mandurah that's two days a week, once before 9am or after 6pm, bores included; elsewhere the roster can differ. The winter switch-off runs from 1 June to 31 August. After it, the Bureau of Meteorology's Perth Metro station averages about 80 mm of rain in September and 40 mm in October. Of our 36 homeowner and business jobs in Yokine between 2020 and 2025, 39% came in spring (September to November), against 38% across Perth, so a check booked in early September beats the October–November rush.

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 Yokine.
