Reticulation & Bore

About This Service

In Perth's climate, even a small fault in a reticulation system can cause significant damage to a garden within a season. We approach every job — from a single faulty valve to a full new installation — with the same level of care.

Bore water is increasingly valuable across Perth's western suburbs. We assess bore potential honestly, install systems correctly and give you clear advice on water quality, iron levels and how to use bore water without damaging your surfaces.

Common Questions

FAQ

Common signs include dry patches that aren't responding to watering, unusually high water bills, zones that won't turn on or off, and sprinkler heads that spray unevenly or not at all. Systems that haven't been serviced in three or more years are rarely running as efficiently as the controller suggests.

Just before dawn — typically between 3am and 6am — gives the water time to soak in before evaporation increases. Running in the afternoon loses a significant proportion of water to evaporation, particularly in summer.

For most properties in Perth's western suburbs with a garden of reasonable size, a bore pays for itself within one to two seasons through reduced scheme water costs. We assess your property's bore potential honestly before recommending it.

Bore water with high iron content can stain lighter surfaces over time. We test water quality as part of the bore process and can recommend filtration or usage adjustments if staining is likely to be a concern.

Yes. Smart controllers that adjust run times based on weather and evaporation can significantly reduce water use — but only if programmed correctly for Perth's seasonal conditions. We handle the installation and configuration.
