Best websites to help plan a water garden?
If the $2500 includes a really good filtration system, then yea, with fish,
plants, etc. sounds about right. Rocks/boulders probably are pretty pricey, something I didn't have to purchase. Since I don't know your designer personally, the one thing I'd recommend is talking to people where he's installed ponds and find out the maintenance needed. A pond with a good filteration system, skimmer(s) & bottom drain(s) requires very little "hard core" maintenance. Where you have to drain and tear down the whole pond yearly, and yes, unfortunately there are systems that require this. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website On Fri, 23 Apr 2004 20:39:06 GMT, wrote: 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. |
