What is the Cost?
Installed, a water feature is similarly priced to a hot tub. Unlike a hot tub, your water garden will not use any chemicals, require any test kits and will actually increase the value of your property.
What should a well-designed water feature include?
- mechanical and biological filtration
- pump and plumbing
- 45 mil EPDM liner and underlayment
- rock work
- underwater lighting
- a berm
- waterfalls
- an automatic fill valve
What Size is Best?
Location and size are the two most important decisions you'll make about your water feature. By some estimates, 90 percent of the original water gardens sold are replaced later with larger ones. An enthusiastic pond hobbyist always finds new plants or interesting fish to add to his investment. As a general rule, a 180 square-foot or 11' x 16' pond is a good "standard" size water feature. Trace your prospective pond out on the ground with a garden hose to help you visualize what the finished size will be. Get started today!
