What do water features services include?

Having a water feature built or developed inside your property can be time-consuming and confusing! It’s a good thing Airtasker has an easy and efficient system for finding a water feature contractor near you. With our platform, getting started only takes a few taps on your phone or computer. Find everything from talented landscaping artists to skilled handymen to build your dream water feature for your property! Still unsure how to get your project construction rolling? Here are a few more details to help you:

Geodetic surveying

If you’re starting with an undeveloped property, you may want to hire a geodetic engineer first to better understand your land’s bounds and metes. Take note that natural water features are also included in your property. You may have heard the term riparian rights, which means you can use the water as long as it doesn’t harm the other owners that also have the same rights. A geodetic engineer can help you understand that better before starting your project. These rights also differ if you have a flowing water source like a river or a stagnant one like ponds.

Landscape design

Your chosen water feature shouldn’t stick out in your property like a sore thumb. A beautiful outdoor design can be achieved with a professional landscape designer. There’s also a lot of science involved here to determine what kind of flora and fauna will thrive in the soil and water supply in your yard. A landscape designer may even be able to give you insight into how best to care for your lawn, plants, and water features without overly exhausting yourself and your pocket.

Building and construction

Once you’re settled with the design, you can hire builders to get started on the digging. The scope of work will depend on whether you’re simply improving an existing natural water source or you intend to build a man-made waterfall. Some Taskers have a lot of experience working with soil, cement, and other foundations for water features.

Maintenance and repair

Having a water feature in your property requires consistent servicing to maintain cleanliness and address minor damages before they worsen. This also varies depending on the type of water features, such as ponds, pools, cultivation gardens, springs, and fountains. Maintaining a garden pond will most likely need regular waste removal and algae treatments, while the upkeep of a hydroponics farm will be more labor-intensive.

 

All these tasks can be handled by one or several Taskers, depending on your preference. No matter what it is you need for your water feature, you can simply post a task so you can get more done!

Moving a small water feature 2m away. Firstly 2x400x800 stone slabs have to be placed on consolidated stone base, then bedded into a little sand bringing to horizontal. Please provide a bucket of sand. We have unlimited gravel and stones already available. The square base (600x600x300h) is then to be placed on top of the slabs and then the concrete urn 500mm in diameter is then placed on top of the sq base. You are to use the supplied plastic wedges that can be inserted under the urn to ensue the urn is true level. Test on completion. Est. time to complete 30mins. Additionally there are 7 stone slabs in the side walkway (see photo) where tree roots or general subsidence have resulted in these slabs now being quite obviously out of level. You are to lift each of these, adze away the offending root or whatever the issue and re bed by hand till approx level. This is a very low traffic area so just looking for a simple, practical solution. Est time 2hrs. Moving the small water feature has to be completed by Mon 1st March, the walkway not critical by then
