Colours look really good as well But I do have to ask, what ballpark figure would something like this cost? Thanks. We like the way colours highlight the water feature and blend well together. Took a lot of trial & error to make sure the burnt orange suited the main wall. Cost: are you sitting down! I will say that we looked at others who do the same thing & they looked a bit cheap & tacky. Lachy from Water Motion Energy does a great job, uses best quality pump, lights, materials etc. and follows it up with great service, he was back within the week because the auto-filler was not working properly & changed it over. The stainless inserts in the 3 panels add nearly another $1k onto a panel that is usually left blank for you to put your own tile/stone/mosaic onto. But for our feature, which includes 1800 x 400 x 500 fibreglass pond, pump, led lights, pebble grate, pebbles, 3 panels with s/steel inserts + delivery & install will set you back a bit over $5k. The foam wall 7.8m x 2.4m high with planter boxes + rendering + painting, installed was nearly $6k The 2 stainless steel laser cut panel either side of the water feature were nearly $1k each I did my own irrigation & electrical wiring. I fell faint just writing it all down! But quality costs. You could do it all cheaper, but I don't believe you would get the same product, and it does add value to the home - this is what I keep telling myself! Some more pics.

Well worth the money I would say. Now I need to look back over the rest of this thread and get inspired! |
