About Beeliar
This exciting project was designed to give good water pressure to a home reticulation system in Beeliar.
The pressure in this particular part of Beeliar was some of the worst we’ve seen and meant that designing a decent reticulation system was going to be a challenge! We came up with the idea of filling a water tank and pumping the water from there with a decent pressure pump; achieving decent pressure to design this system properly. The problem was that none of the tanks we located fitted into the owners landscape plans and all of them were going to be an eye sore.
This is when we decided to use a Reece Irrigation Graf Platin Underground Tank and install it underneath the owners back lawn.
Here is the plan we prepared for the project: Subsurface tank plan
The unique design of this underground tank allows it to be installed anywhere, even under driveways, and it is fully trafficable. The owners wanted to catch rainwater as well and use it for their garden from the tank.

As an average garden will easily use over 50,000L over summer, this 5,000L tank will not do the job on its own. We came up with a plan to use a combination of rainwater and mains water. We set up a float which would keep the tank two thirds full at all times from the water mains approx. 3000L and then we left the rest of the tank free for rainwater. We hooked into the storm water going to a soakwell and plumbed it into the Graf Tank. We then put the overflow and emergency overflow from the Graf tank into two soakwells on the property.
We installed a submersible pump and pressure control unit with a master valve attached and used this set up to pump the water the to the appropriate solenoid. The reticulation used consisted of Waterwise MP Rotators and subsurface driplines. We used a Weathermatic controller along with a Weathermatic weather station, which is a weather based control system using smart technology to deliver maximum water savings.

Ask us about this system – it is far more advanced than just using a rain sensor and switching off your retic for the winter. Our clients have a very water efficient system with great pressure which suits their landscaping needs!

Our front yard in Karrinyup was completely transformed in March 2015. In just one week, the team completed the job of removing what was there, replaced the topsoil, installed the reticulation and mulched with native plants. Four months on we are still so impressed with the job and delighted that we used Luke’s Landscaping. Highly recommended!
- 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.Rick and Clare
- 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.Catriona
- 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
- 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.Kelly
- 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.Warwick
