Attadale’s Salty Water

May 11, 2020

Salty, ironing staining water in Attadale

Across Perth we have become accustomed to each suburbs unique water problems. Attadale has higher than average concentrations of salt and iron. As a result whenever we are installing a water treatment system or doing landscaping in Attadale we engineer the water systems to remove these specific impurities!

Attadale’s problem…

Earth & Water did the landscaping and water system for this house in Attadale from start to finish by working with the owner. It is a far more luscious and green garden than surrounding homes because the water treatment system we installed removes impurities that inhibit growth and is delivered in a water-wise way.

There are three parts to a beautiful garden: 

1. Choosing the right plants
2. Delivering water correctly
3. Removing harmful impurities

With subsurface drip irrigation there is less evaporation and your plants are drip-fed the correct amount of water throughout the year – regardless of season. With Hunter Industries’ wifi controllers you are able to monitor and set water delivery details from your phone.

In the third picture below you can see the simple but effective water treatment system that removes iron and salt from the water.  The grey box is the Hunter Industries’ controller we use to monitor and change water deliver. It is small, simple but has extrememly powerful technology in it. 

Water salinity tastes bad and is an unnecessary obstacle that plants have to overcome to grow better. Perth is coastal and our native plants are able to survive in salty waters but the greenery we love to see in our gardens just isn’t equipped to deal with high salinity. 

Because we already know Attadale has high water salinity we designed the water treatment system specifically to reduce this problem. Prevention beats a cure! That is why this garden has been extra green from the very beginning!

Earth & Water recently landscaped around our pool. We were genuinely thrilled with the result! Nigel and all of his team were extremely professional throughout the whole process and had great ideas on how we could improve on our initial vision. All works we’re well explained and communicated. We love it!

From the first phone call, Nigel and his team have been very professional and very helpful. Nigel takes care to explain everything very clearly. I could see that my garden was struggling to survive but I didn't know why. Nigel suspected high salt levels in the bore water and a high soil PH. This was later confirmed by a Laboratory test. I agreed to Nigel's recommendation to install his Fertigation and Water Conditioning system. The whole process was completed without a hitch and within a month my garden started showing signs of recovery. What I also love is that I can apply fertiliser direct through this system, saving me the time spent spreading fertiliser. The Fertigation system means I'm no longer loosing sleep over my garden and to me that's money well spent.

Nigel at Earth and Water has designed and installed the landscaping and retic systems for our current and previous homes. When re-financing the valuers have commented that the landscaping has added considerable value to the home, we just think it looks great.The retic is something special as it allows us to fertilise by putting it in a bucket and opening a couple of valves to allow it to be distributed through the system. Much easier.We have no hesitation in recommending Earth and Water.

Incredible.By far the most professional contractor we engaged over the 3 years of building our house.I am confident that there would be no one better at Landscaping in Perth.Nigel took a difficult job with lots of criteria to satisfy and delivered it well above the standard we thought was possible.We had engaged other well known Landscapers who just had no answers to the issues we had.Nigel and the guys at Earth & Water blow all the competition out of the water.

Nigel and his team did a fantastic job for us and our front gardens with raised veggie beds are constantly admired by our neighbors.Fixed and identified problems that others had told us were lost causes (no need for a new bore and our lawn is looking great, we thought we'd have to start again).Great advice, quality work and the guys doing the work are all awesome.Highly recommended....

We love our new lawn and garden beds! Earth and Water were great to work with and very accommodating in helping us setup a low maintenance yard with lots of room to grow over time =)

Earth and Water were recommended to us when building our home. They have been involved in designing all of our irrigation, rainwater tanks, greywater system and now some green walls as well. We've found them to be friendly, efficient and very persistent when something brand new [and there's a lot with our home that was pretty new technology when it was installed] doesn't work properly. We're very happy with the way the system is designed and how well it all works. And the ability to translate a concept to a practical design has been amazing! thanks to all of you.

We have had a great experience with using Earth and Water for our gardens. After 4 attempts with other companies we had almost given up hope of creating the right garden for our home. After our experience with the creation of our vertical garden by Earth and Water (an awesome feature of our new internal courtyard) we asked Nigel to consider what he would do with the sloping front yard. It turned out fantastically and really complements the front of our house (we are talking about re-levelling, walls, plants, fence and reticulation – the lot). Our relationship continued to the large backyard and at last we have a backyard we enjoy being in – fun and practical. We have really enjoyed the creative process, have been very well treated and highly recommend Earth and Water to our friends!

We value our reputation at Virgin Bores just as much as Nigel does at Earth and Water..... No hesitation in recommending our clients to Nigel for specialist attention from a true professional in irrigation and water management. Had plenty of customers thank us over the years for the referral. Nigel's expertise in sub surface and drip irrigation are recognised industry wide. Important though with sub surface irrigation that service and maintenance recommendations are adhered to. Just ask Nigel for advice.

Earth and Water were contacted to help develop a landscape design when we redeveloped our dental practice on Canning Highway in 2008.We were struggling to create a design that would work adjacent our rear car park which had a sloping block. We also wanted to create an appealing frontage for our business.I met with the owner of Earth and Water, Nigel Thompson to discuss our landscaping and reticulation needs.Nigel is a genius with a natural eye for design and creative ideas and thanks to him we were able to create a beautiful garden that is commented on consistently. Nigel was able to share his passion and due to his tireless enthusiasm we were completely satisfied with the results.As the owner of Earth and Water he has always given us his complete attention and over the last years whenever there has been issues with maintenance Nigel and his team at Earth and Water are always there for us to keep our garden blooming.Always highly recommended.
