What We Do

Newman Reticulation has been delivering friendly professional reticulation services to customers in the Perth area for over 35 years. A high standard of workmanship and attention to detail is always a focus and customer satisfaction is always front-of-mind. Newman Reticulation has only ever operated in Perth so we understand the weather, we know the different suburbs with different soil-types, we understand the variation in the ground-water, and we know what it takes to make gardens grow in gutless hydrophobic sand.

There are many cheap reticulation products available from major hardware retailers; we won’t use them because most of them are junk. We only use high quality materials sourced from manufacturers like Rain Bird, Hunter, and Toro. We won’t be the cheapest but we will always be satisfied that our customers are using the best.

Newman Reticulation specialise in maintenance with experience and knowledge in all aspects of automated and manual garden watering systems including:

  • Regular maintenance
  • General repairs
  • Solenoid valves
  • Controllers
  • Pumps, wells, bores
  • Reticulation wiring
  • Shared bores
  • Automations

Our History

Newman Reticulation was established in 1983 by Michael Newman under a franchise arrangement with Hugall & Hoile. Over the next few years Michael built up a wealth of knowledge, a solid customer base and a reputation as one of the industry’s best operators, outgrowing the franchise agreement as Newman Reticulation established itself independently as one of Perth’s most trusted reticulation maintenance businesses.

In 2015 after over 30 years in the reticulation business Michael started thinking about retirement and in 2016 Michael’s son Shaun began working with Michael to learn the business with a view to taking over. In 2017 Michael officially retired and Shaun took over ownership of Newman Reticulation.

FAQ
How much do you charge?
  • We charge $100 per hour plus materials & GST. Minimum charge is one hour.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
  • No we don't charge a call-out fee but minimum charge is one hour.
Can you locate a solenoid valve?
  • Yes, we carry specialised equipment designed for locating solenoid valves.
Do you put bores in?
  • No, but we can subcontract the driller and the electrician, source and install the pump and connect it to the reticulation system.
Do you provide quotes?
  • Very rarely can we quote for maintenance jobs. Firstly the majority of the reticulation system isn't visible so it is impossible to know what we are dealing with until it is dug up. Secondly, many problems aren't apparent until other problems are fixed, e.g. a broken sprinkler will cause a lack of pressure to the entire station so other faulty sprinklers may not be visible until the first one is fixed. Some jobs can be quoted, such as a controller replacement or new installation.
Do you charge for driving to your suppliers to get materials?
  • No we don't. We carry what we need for most jobs, but if we need to go and get materials we don’t have on hand we stop the clock.
Do you offer a warranty?
  • Yes we do. The warranty on the materials is covered by the manufacturers and typically ranges from 12 months to five years. We match the workmanship warranty to the manufacturer warranty. In effect, any work done to replace materials under warranty will be done for free
Will you go down a well?
  • It depends how deep it is. Shallow wells to 20 feet usually aren't a problem, but the rule of thumb - if we feel safe we will go down the well.
