Best websites to help plan a water garden?
MItch,
You will certainly get a professional opinion from a professional. If you like his work, that is good! May I suggest that you run his ideas by the folk in this ng? You would educate us and might get some practical insights from people who have spent a while figuring out how to do it or how to fix it or how not to do it next time. When we see TV stuff from designers, many of us choke on the impracticality of their designs. Proverbs says the king wins battles by having many wise counselors. While not in the king and wise categories, we might apply by 'Ponders get nice pools by consulting others.' When we built our pond, I did not know about the ng. Some things would have been easier if I had checked here. My filter system benefitted from being installed a couple of years after the rest...I knew a lot more, learned from experience and from other ponders. Other ponders, thanks! Go for it! Jim wrote in message ... Thanks for all the links. A guy who goes to my church is a landscape designer, and he does lots of water features for the wealthy. I'm friendly with him, so I called him today and asked how much it would cost for his design expertise only, if I do all the work. He said he would charge me $25/hr, and that he estimates a total of 10 hours, but that includes all the design, delivering the rocks and boulders, and checking up on me while I'm building it to make corrections. Sound pretty good? I've seen his work...he does beautiful stuff. I told him the space I have to work with, and he thinks a waterfall, short stream, and pond with fish will cost me about $2500. |
