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!
