Decorative water features and fountainscapes are gorgeous alone, in a group or as a focal point in a larger pond or stream. They’re extremely versatile.
Prefabricated and professionally installed by our Hobart-based team, there are a range of options for style, shape and size. They’re a little more formal, no less beautiful and introduce water into your home without all the fuss.
It’s an elegant solution if you’re just looking to sort out that one spot on your property – you know the one. Alternatively, having these decorative features in a backyard pond or stream gives layers, dimension and focal points to any water feature.
Similar to Aquascape’s Pondless Systems, these Decorative features run off a reticulation system with a pump that moves the water from the reservoir below ground through to the fountain you see. Unlike the other water features we create, these decorative features are prefabricated. We order, install and do some light landscaping to obscure the reservoir without impacting waterflow or warranties.
Our extensive landscaping and lighting solutions will make your water feature feel right at home. Catching light on water in the evening is transcendent, no matter how large the body of water is. Find out more about your landscaping and lighting solutions with Mountain Rock Pools.
Like anything else, these features thrive when taken care of properly. If time is a deciding factor for you when chosing your water feature, here are some things Pondless owners do to keep their water feature in good condition.
Debris finds itself where the water ends – on the rocks above the reservoir. Unless you’ve a lot of leaf litter in the area, we recommend clearing it away once every week or so to prevent the debris from filtering down through the reservoir.
Water levels can drop with evaporation, interaction, low edges or the odd puncture.
Pond pumps die if they run dry and it voids the warrantee. There are a few things that can cause water loss, so just keep an eye on the waterline and get in touch with us if it drops too frequently.
Don’t want to think about it?
We can include an automatic top-up function during or after the build so your water feature can further take care of itself.
These natural pools are chemical free, but there are solutions that need to be administered for the filtration to be effective and to manage things like algae blooms. We’ll be able to tell you how much beneficial bacteria you’ll need and how frequently you’ll need it to keep your swimming pond clear and safe.
Don’t want to think about it?
Auto-dosers are an optional extra that can be programmed to dispense the right amount of bacteria for your water feature at exactly the right time.
Pumps need annual maintenance to retain the warrantee and to make sure you get the best out of your investment.
