Humans have long been drawn to the banks of Billabongs and Lakes for recreation and relaxation. We replicate these systems on your property, creating a place to enjoy paddling and snorkelling alongside fish and water lilies. The sound of gentle waterfalls will energise you for the day ahead. Find a rock to perch on and feel the busy world around you drift away. Knowing your beautiful Oasis has become a haven for native birds, dragonflies, fish, frogs and plants adds another layer of enjoyment.
Ecosystem ponds include a natural balance of fish, plants, aeration, filtration, and rocks and gravel. All components interact naturally with one another helping to create and maintain a sustainable, low-maintenance ecosystem pond. Each pond is unique in its design and creation, whether large or small.
Streams add dimension and intrigue to your landscape. From a lazy, babbling brook to a swift, energetic current, streams are created to suit the mood you desire. Each stream is unique and natural-looking, as though Mother Nature herself carved them into the landscape. Waterfall or creek will draw you in and have been proven to elevate mood and promote mental wellbeing.
Love the calming sounds of a gently flowing stream, but have space constraints or safety concerns? A courtyard sized Pondless Waterfall adds tranquillity and interest and can be ideal for creating a calming energy to your entrance or entertaining space.
Add a splash of water and attract birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and more with these re-circulating water features that add an artistic focal point to any part of your landscape.
Decorative water features including fountains, bubbling urns and fountain rocks all provide the soothing sight and sound of water in the landscape without taking up a lot of space. Upgrade the entrance to your home by adding a decorative fountain near the front door. Or tuck one in the garden near your deck or patio to enjoy the soothing sound of running water.
We use biological filtration in the form of upward flow wetland systems, which becomes a home for healthy bacteria (harmless to humans). These in turn feed on micro-organisms and zoo planktons, resulting in crystal clear water. Added to this is aeration and jetting that pushes water toward a skimmer to collect any fallen debris. With the addition of oxygenating aquatic plants and algae eating fish and you have yourself some crystal clear water, the way nature intended.
Mosquito's breed in stagnant bodies of water, and as our systems have constantly flowing water, mosquito's won't like to breed in them. Adding to this, fish and frogs love to eat mosquito's, so if they did breed in your pond, they would quickly become dinner.
For those who are seriously considering having Cleawater Billabongs install an ecosyetem, Darren is happy to give you a tour of his personal recreation pond and pondless waterfall in Highfields.
We can give you a ball-park figure and rough sketch for free. After that, to prepare detailed drawings and itemised quote, we charge a design and consultation fee.
We are located in Highfields, Queensland and are happy to travel further afield for your project. Travel and accommodation will be applicable for away jobs.
