RETICULATION INSTALLATION PERTH: CHOOSING THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR THE JOB

Reticulation is something that most homeowners need to think about in order to have their garden looking they’re during the warmer months.

There are several businesses offering irrigation services and help with reticulation installation in Perth. So how do you know which one to choose? We’ve got some tips for you in this blog post…

See what previous customers are saying about them

Make sure that the landscaping business you hire comes with good reviews – If a business has happy customers then you’re probably going to be happy with their service, too.

See if their website has customer testimonials, or check out the reviews on their Facebook page if they have one.

If you can’t get an idea of how previous customers have felt about their experience of getting their retic installed, you might not want to risk giving them your hard-earned dollars.

It’s also worth asking friends and family in the area about the business that did their reticulation installation in Perth.

Make sure there is a warranty on any work done

Put simply, a reticulation installer who puts a warranty on their work is one that’s confident in the service they’re providing.

Yes, sometimes things happen that aren’t the fault of the installer, but we certainly prefer that our customers don’t wear the cost of the repairs.

You also have peace of mind that should something happen, you’re covered financially.

Ask about their training

Unfortunately, there are a few cowboys out there claiming they can do reticulation installation in Perth. You don’t want those guys getting their mitts on your retic – ask any potential installer about their experience and knowledge or equivalent qualifications.

We’re a member of Irrigation Australia, the governing body that regulates the reticulation industry,

Check on the quality of the materials being used

The phrase “buy cheap, buy twice” springs to mind here. The very cheapest sprinkler heads and wiring connectors are normally low quality and you’ll have to replace them pretty quickly.

For example, we use waterproof gel connectors for our wiring and ensure it’s all in protected pipe conduit or in a core (not single strand). This means fewer maintenance issues in the future for our customers.

You want to choose a service provider who uses high quality parts. The parts will last longer – and save you money in the long term.

What’s the reticulation installation cost?

As a general rule, you get what you pay for. Reticulation installation in Perth isn’t cheap – and if you receive a really low quote, you need to wonder why. Are they using cheap, low quality materials? Are they qualified to do the job? Is there a warranty on their work? What’s the quality of workmanship? How thorough are they and are you really getting the full amount of sprinkles you need to achieve head to head coverage. Have they taken care to design the best system for your style of garden and lawn? Are they passionate about the Landscaping Industry?

We’re not saying go with the most expensive quote. But we are saying be wary of the really cheap ones.

Luke & his team did quite a large landscaping job for us. Lisa came up with a design that we loved & was involved from start to finish. Any little issues that came up along the way were dealt with quickly & efficiently. The quality of Mark’s work & his attention to detail were outstanding. We are thrilled with our new yard & highly recommend Luke’s Landscaping.

Oh wow, where do I start . . . Right from our first contact with Luke we had a good feeling about it. Luke was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic to meet our needs. He provided us with some much needed direction for our gardening endeavours, was professional, and always available to answer our questions. Once we decided on a plan, he coordinated all of the services and items that were needed, and provided us with an exceptionally hard working, and skilled, landscaper in Derick. Luke visited the project on several occasions, to make sure we were happy with it’s progress, to make some minor tweaks here and there, or deliver something that was needed. Our landscape project was relatively small but we never felt like we didn’t matter. The project started on time, and finished on time, and the yard was left spick and span. It’s a vast improvement on what was there before it, and given it’s almost spring, it shouldn’t be long before our garden takes on it’s real shape. We could not be happier with the end result, the price, and the service that we received from Luke and Derick. If you are looking to have a landscaping job done, either big or small, I’d definitely recommend giving Luke a call.

A huge thank you to the staff at Luke's Landscaping for the wonderful transformation of our front yard. It's gone from a sandpit to a gorgeous green oasis. The team worked so hard over the week to transform our gardens and we are very appreciative of the attention to detail and care they took.
Christina and Darren
I used Luke’s Landscaping to provide an overhaul of my front lawn with the task to reduce the amount of lawn and increase the low maintenance area including a rock feature. Also, they were used to provide a major landscaping overhaul for my Daughter’s back garden including lawns, garden beds and low water usage reticulation. All work was carried out within the agreed time schedule. The staff are very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The work completed with efficiency, and all aspects were well-coordinated. The materials used were of a good quality that enhances the finished product. My daughter and I are very pleased with results.

I take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. This is the second time I have used your services. Not only because you did such a good, clean and efficient job, but also the fact you responded to my inquiry in a professional and timely manner unlike many others who I had to recall and I still couldn’t get any response. I would also like to thank your staff who worked diligently until the job was done to our satisfaction particularly giving my wife and myself peace of mind. Therefore, I will always recommend your services to any family or friends, in fact if you need to send any prospective clients to view our garden feel free to do so. If you require any verbal reference feel free to have your client contact me. We wish you all the success in the future with your business.
Aldo and Karen
Our terrace house had a sad and seldom used rear courtyard which has absolutely no access other than via our living areas. This we thought would be a show-stopper but Luke’s landscaping had the expertise to take it on and swiftly provided us with a lovely design and costed implementation plan, which has simply transformed this area into a valuable extension of our living space. The construction work was carried out most diligently and despite having to transport removed debris, new limestone blocks and pavers, soil, mulch and many plants (including a very large tree) through our home, the professionalism of the whole process and the final cleanup left no sign of the major operation that had been undertaken, either internally or externally. Luke’s follow up on the project to address a couple of small issues has also been most helpful and certainly won’t hesitate in recommending Luke’s landscaping to others who have admired this transformed area! Thankyou.
