Retic and Turf Replacement in Butler

I have had a call each year for the last two years to come and replace the turf at this small backyard in Butler. A combination of young dogs and a shaded area means it has been tough for the lawn to survive. It starts with a dig out of the old turf. Only 12m so not too much hard work. You can see the patchy old lawn below. Then it’s time to screed and update the sprinklers with some mp rotators. The regular Toro nozzles were getting blown around in the wind and dirtying the pool fence. And from […]

Backyard Reticulation Installation in Jindalee

Today’s job was to install a backyard system for a client in Jindalee. There was no retic in the place at all so we began with the sprinklers plumber, then the master valve and just one station solenoid to serve the lawn using MP Rotators. The trencher got a good workout in the established turf and we finished in good time. If you need retic installed in your backyard then be sure to give us a call!

The purpose of the Common Wire in an Irrigation System

Every irrigation has a common wire that connects all of the solenoids together and in most cases it is a black wire, as this is the colour most commonly used. The common wire is found in the ‘c’ terminal and is vital to the systems operation. If a common wire gets cut then all of the solenoids that it connects together will be out of action. Its usual to have one strand of multi core wire serving the front of a house and another strand serving the rear, so if you find that all of your rear solenoids have stopped […]

Should I Use Netafim Dripline in My Garden?

If you want to achieve maximum water efficiency then there is no question that Netafim Dripline is your friend! Here is a job I did recently in Yanchep where new native plants had been installed and the client wanted to ensure minimal wastage of water. Now that the Dripline is in he can mulch the area. If you are on a bore then you may like to consider ‘bore line ‘, similar but not pressured compensated – which usually isn’t an issue on a bore. This dripline is extremely effective at dripping water right next to the plants and is […]

Transforming a Verge

When you live opposite a school your front verge gets parked on more than most, but now that the council have stopped verge parking in the street it was time to revamp that verge that was looking pretty dodgy. It was pretty ugly… Then the bobcat came in Old lawn and weeds removed and 40mm of good quality soil spread. The next day I came in and repaired and reconfigured the reticulation using MP rotators to get the coverage needed. And then the Sir Walter Buffalo went down. The different looking lawn sections are just the ‘grain’ of the lawn […]
