Business Feature: Aquascape Australia

Water features such as recreation ponds, ponds, fountains, and pondless waterfalls have rapidly increased in popularity in modern landscaping as they offer visual appeal, and create a relaxing atmosphere. 

The team at Yandina based Aquascape Australia have decades of experience in the construction and installation of stunning water features of all sizes, and use world leading Aquascape Inc. products to bring their client’s dream landscapes to life.

“Aquascape Australia is an Australian family-owned and operated business,” said Sales Manager Brett McCormack

Compared to swimming pools, recreation ponds can offer a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative.

“Our staff all have pond building experience and we are Australia’s only wholesale supplier of pond equipment with hands-on experience in building and maintaining ponds and water features. Our Certified Aquascape Contractors (CAC’s) build ponds and water features all around Australia, the Middle East and Asia Pacific and apart from the fact that we use the best technology and components in the world, we really know our stuff. 

“In fact, the largest recreation pond in the southern hemisphere was built by our team, at Woodford Folk Festival, and is a very important and popular attraction for the site. I think people are increasingly looking at water features and recreation ponds to incorporate into their landscape because of the variety of benefits they offer,” he said.

“In contrast to swimming pools, recreation ponds can offer a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative. The initial cost of creating a recreational pond may be higher than a swimming pool, but the long-term benefits and cost savings can be significant. 

“From a health perspective, recreation ponds do not require the addition of costly chemicals or energy to keep them running, and this can result in substantial savings over time.”

Each Aquascape recreation pond or water feature is its own self-sustaining eco system, perfectly balanced with rocks, pebbles, plants, fish and beneficial bacteria. “This is another reason why these features are such a wonderful addition to a garden landscape,” Mr McCormack said.

“They are designed as a natural ecosystem to work with mother nature to provide crystal clear water, utilising an Aquascape Wetland Filtration System. A wetland works as a biological filter, by creating an area in your pond thick with naturally-filtering plants, as well as rocks and gravel, which provide a surface for bacterial colonisation. These are nature’s perfect filters. So a wetland, while naturally beautiful and pleasing to the eye, is a great filtration method, and will help keep your water looking crystal clear.  It is a friendly landscape for birds and wildlife as well.”

Aquascape Australia are the exclusive Australian distributor of Aquascape Inc. products and Elevate EPDM pond and dam liners. 

“At our immersive pond shop, you can see our stunning water feature displays, as well as our range of  DIY pond kits, pumps, filters, water treatments, LED garden lights, decorative water features and pond and dam liners,” he said.

“Our job is to offer the expertise and support to assist you with any project, big or small. Customers often tell us that it is a relief to talk to people who know what they are talking about.

“But at the end of the day, we love to help people create a totally unique water feature that enhances their property and offers a serene garden space to enjoy time with their family. That’s what it is all about.”
