Perth Reticulation Essentials
Reticulation is the backbone of any Perth garden. Without it, most plants struggle through our hot, dry summers. Understanding your options helps you make smart choices when installing or upgrading your system.
System Types
Pop-up sprinklers: best for lawns. Drip irrigation: best for garden beds (80% water savings vs sprinklers). Micro-sprays: good for mixed plantings. Sub-surface drip: ultimate efficiency, invisible installation. Most Perth gardens use a combination of all four.
Smart Controllers
Modern wifi-enabled controllers (Hydrawise, Hunter Pro-HC) adjust watering based on weather data, soil moisture, and Water Corporation restriction days. They typically save 20-30% water compared to timer-based systems.
