Takes 60 secondsChoose your own time

Rhys at an open retic valve box, solenoid in hand. A real Perth garden.

Presenting symptoms

You already know something is off.

You just don't know which of five causes it is.Neither does the bloke who mows it.

Symptom One

The same patch dies every summer.You've re-turfed it twice.

Symptom Two

The water bill went up.The garden looks worse.

Symptom Three

A tree is dropping leaves out of season.Nobody can tell you why.

Symptom Four

You've been quoted to replace the whole retic.Nobody has shown you the fault.

Symptom Five

You've been told to start the garden again.Nobody has said what's worth saving.

The difference

Most problems get treated.Few get diagnosed.

A mow-and-blow crew sees a dead patch and sells you turf.A retic bloke sees a dry zone and sells you sprinklers.Both may be right.Both may also be treating a symptom.The cause can sit 200mm under the sand.

Garden Doctor works the other way around.We diagnose first, in writing.Before anyone quotes you a dollar.Then you decide what gets treated.And whether it is us who does it.

What gets checked

The forty-point chart.

The same forty checks, in the same order.Nothing gets skipped.Regardless of what you rang about.

Before you book

The things people ask.

Do I have to book work afterwards?
No. The report is yours either way, and it is written so another contractor could quote from it.
Is the $198 really credited back?
Yes. The full amount comes off the invoice for any work you book from the report.
Do I need to be home?
It is better if you are, because half the value is the conversation on site. If you cannot be, we need access to the retic controller and the meter.
What if it is one broken sprinkler?
Then that is what the report will say, and you will have paid $198 to find out it was not the big job somebody else told you it was.
Can you check my retic during the sprinkler ban?
[VERIFY AGAINST CURRENT WATER CORPORATION EXEMPTION RULES BEFORE PUBLISHING]
How soon can you come out?
The calendar shows our live availability. Book now to secure your slot.
Who does the work if I book it?
We diagnose and specify every job. A qualified landscape team carries it out to the written scope, backed by the warranty above.
