Irrigation & waterwise
Reticulation Maintenance & Repairs
A reticulation system fails quietly. Usually the first sign is a dry patch or a water bill, months after a valve stopped opening. Routine checks catch that early and keep water going where it is meant to.
What’s included
Station-by-station checks
Every station run and observed, with coverage, pressure and spray patterns assessed rather than assumed.
Sprinkler and pipe repairs
Replacing broken or sunken pop-ups, cracked pipework and misaligned heads.
Solenoid and valve work
Diagnosing and replacing faulty solenoids, valves and wiring faults that stop a station opening.
Controller programming
Timers set to your allocated WA watering days and adjusted between seasons so the system is not running on summer settings in winter.
Smart controller installation
Supply and setup of automated waterwise controllers where they will genuinely reduce water use.
New system installation
Lawn reticulation, garden bed systems and drip lines designed for the planting and the soil.
Reticulation servicing for Fremantle gardens and bores
Most water problems in Fremantle gardens are not watering-day problems — they are a blocked nozzle, a cracked riser, a leaking solenoid or a controller still running last summer's program. A full station-by-station service finds them in one visit: every zone run, every head checked for arc, throw and pressure, risers straightened, filters cleaned and the controller reprogrammed to the current sprinkler roster and season.
We repair and upgrade the systems common across the western suburbs — pop-up sprinklers, cracked poly and PVC mains, failed solenoid valves, blown tees under paving, bore-fed systems staining limestone and rendered walls, and scheme-water systems running at pressures that never suited the head layout. Where a garden has been converted from lawn to waterwise beds, we convert the zone to drip line so water goes to the root zone instead of spraying mulch and fences.
New installations are designed zone by zone around the property's actual pressure and flow, with lawn and bed zones separated so each gets the right run time. Smart WiFi controllers can be fitted so schedules adjust with the weather and comply with the Water Corporation's two-day-a-week roster and daylight watering rules. Every service finishes with the controller programmed, the run times written down, and a short handover so you know what is watering when.

Water is the limiting factor here
On sandy coastal soils, irrigation faults show up in the lawn faster than anywhere else in Perth.
Checked as part of maintenance
For clients on a maintenance plan, reticulation is reviewed during regular visits rather than only when something fails.
Waterwise by design
Programming and system design aimed at using less water, not simply running longer.

Lawn Maintenance in Fremantle
Coastal Fremantle lawns sit on sandy, free-draining soil that loses nutrients and water quickly. Keeping turf healthy here is about cutting height, feeding and irrigation working together — not just a weekly mow.
Garden Maintenance in Fremantle
Regular garden maintenance keeps a property looking cared for instead of rescued. We run fortnightly, monthly and seasonal visits across Fremantle and the western suburbs, with the same crew each time so nobody has to re-explain the garden.
Grounds Maintenance, Fremantle & Perth
Grounds maintenance is the broader program that keeps a whole site presentable across the year — lawns, beds, hedges, hard-surface edges, irrigation and seasonal horticulture, planned together rather than booked job by job.
Commercial Garden Maintenance, Fremantle & Perth
Commercial grounds are judged by whoever walks past them. We hold scheduled service days for offices, medical and childcare sites, schools, industrial estates and managed properties across Fremantle and the surrounding Perth suburbs, with the documentation a manager needs to sign the work off.
