A properly installed system means better water efficiency, fewer breakdowns, and less maintenance down the track. I design and install high-quality reticulation systems tailored to your property’s layout—whether you’re working with bore or mains water.

Subdivision work, dodgy installs, or old systems falling apart? I diagnose and repair leaks, wiring faults, pressure issues, and misaligned sprinklers to get your system running properly again. If others have left you with half a job, I’ll get it done right.

Want to avoid costly breakdowns? I offer professional servicing to keep your system working efficiently year after year. Regular maintenance means no dry patches, no wasted water, and no sudden failures when you need it most.

Upgrade to a reliable, easy-to-use controller that puts you in charge of your watering schedule. I install top-tier controllers with WiFi access and smart scheduling, so you never have to second-guess your watering again.

I use proven brands like Hunter and Rainbird—because cheap parts mean cheap results. Your system is only as good as the components behind it, and I make sure every install and repair is built to last.

Hear From My Clients

Triana AmbarsariTriana Ambarsari ★★★★★ Luke is a guy I could trust with my life. And that’s exactly what happened. I would hire him again and definitely recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.On the first day of the project to install a new drip irrigation in my front yard, out of nowhere, my solar system inverter blew up. I was inside the house and unaware of what happened. Luke who was working on the garden bed outside and noticing the smoke, told me to get out of the house immediately. By then, thick black smoke was already forming and there was a lot of violent popping sound. He proceeded to act selflessly to switch the breakers off in the switchboard to cut power. When the popping and smoke continued, he went back up again to switch the isolator off right next to the popping inverter. Thankfully the loud popping sound stopped afterwards, and the smoke eventually stopped. Fire fighter was called and they determined there was no more threat.I could easily say that my house would have been in flames if Luke didn’t act fast. I probably would have been in it still if he didn’t tell me to get out.Beyond being a true hero, Luke is an expert in his field who shares his knowledge and explains clearly on what he’s going to do and what to expect. He is very meticulous and his work is of high quality. He carefully worked around my plants to make sure there was no damage. And the result - the drip irrigation system looks and works great, and I am excited to finally have an stress-free irrigation system and a thriving garden in my front and backyard.Thank you so much Luke for all that you and Aiden did.

Luke renovated my existing lawn reticulation which had a number of issues that I had been dealing with for many years until it finally ceased working and required an overhaul. Time and money spent over the previous 5+ years could have been avoided had I contacted Luke from the beginning. His knowledge is extensive and his customer service is second to none, including multiple follow-ups post-job to confirm that everything was running smoothly and also having a new gear drive sprinkler couriered out to me at no charge after the job was finished so I could replace one that had seized up that was not part of the contracted works. I could not be more satisfied with Luke and his work.Response from the ownerThank you Matt! Holly BaarspulHolly Baarspul ★★★★★ Amazing service yet again by Luke.

Why Quality Matters

Sprinkler Installation Guide
Quality Installation

Quality Installation

A properly installed sprinkler, positioned just below the surface, offers lasting protection and extends the life of your system, helping you maintain a beautiful and tidy lawn.

Good Coverage

Good Coverage

A well-planned sprinkler system includes plenty of overlapping sprinklers. Each one’s spray reaches the next, ensuring even coverage and a well-watered, healthy lawn.

Quality Setups

Quality Setups

A correctly installed solenoid manifold is housed in sturdy valve boxes, with all wiring in conduit and using waterproof gel connectors. This guarantees reliable performance.

Bad Installation

Bad Installation

An incorrectly installed sprinkler is prone to damage from lawnmowers and other activities. This leads to frequent breakages, higher maintenance costs, and potential disruption of the entire irrigation system.

Bad Coverage

Bad Coverage

A poorly set-up reticulation system means your lawn struggles due to insufficient sprinklers. Improper spacing results in uneven coverage, leaving some areas dry and others overwatered.

Bad Setup

Bad Setup

Poorly installed solenoid manifold setups often lack covers and proper wiring enclosures. This can lead to damage, higher maintenance costs, and system failures.

Why Choose Me?

I do retic properly; no shortcuts, no dodgy fixes, just quality work that lasts. Whether it’s a repair, overhaul, or new install, I make sure your system works as it should so you’re not dealing with constant headaches.

I’m The Right Choice If You:

  • Want a professional job done right the first time.
  • Have had bad experiences with other retic companies.
  • Care about quality parts, proper setup, and a thriving lawn.

When I’m NOT The Right Fit:

  • You’re shopping for the cheapest quote.
  • The job is under two hours.
  • It’s just for a quick sale or rental.

If you want reliable retic without the frustration, let’s get it sorted!

FAQs

Yes! I handle everything from persistent issues to complete system overhauls. If your retic hasn’t been working properly or needs major repairs, I can get it sorted. However, I don’t take on one-off urgent repairs under two hours – I focus on full repairs, reconfigurations, and long-term solutions.

No, I charge for an on-site consultation, which includes expert advice, system assessment, and an estimate where possible. My experience has shown that free quotes often lead to rushed assessments and incomplete information. By investing in a consult, you get proper, tailored advice from the start.

Every job is different, and retic systems can have hidden issues that aren’t obvious until work begins. By charging per hour, I ensure you’re only paying for the actual work needed, rather than inflating prices with buffer costs like many fixed-quote services do.

I don’t cut corners. You’re paying for 20+ years of experience, quality workmanship, and long-term reliability. I take the time to get things right so you don’t have to redo work later or deal with ongoing issues. Cheaper jobs often end up costing more in the long run.

I specialise in full system renovations, upgrades, and major repairs, not quick patch jobs. If I focused on small urgent repairs, I wouldn’t be able to give larger projects the time and attention they deserve. There are plenty of businesses that handle small urgent fixes. I focus on proper, lasting solutions.

I only use high-quality reticulation parts from trusted brands like Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro, sourced primarily from Reece Irrigation and Pools. Quality parts make a massive difference in performance, durability, and reliability – cheap parts lead to ongoing issues and constant repairs.

I sell parts at retail pricing, typically within 30% of Reece’s standard retail cost. Unlike some companies that use low-quality, bulk-bought parts to cut costs, I focus on longevity and reliability because the right product, installed properly, is worth every dollar.

No. I only install parts I trust and have tested over years of experience. If I wouldn’t use it in my own retic system, I won’t use it in yours. Using the right product, installed correctly, saves you money in the long run by avoiding constant breakdowns and unnecessary callouts.
