Before you go further in this
website - realize that we are not a store front property. You cant drive in a pick from a
selected group of water features. Each and every water feature or waterfalls and stream we
install is a custom water feature tailored to your landscape and space. There will be no 2
water features alike. We don't accrue the cost of the displays or the store front
property. Believe it or not you will most likely pay up to 40% more for a water feature
buying it from a store front property versus a custom installer. The main reason not to
buy from a store front property is they send out employees. Austin Texas Waterscapes has
employees but the owner is present for all aspects of your water feature from design to
construction and completion.
There are many types and styles of waterfall
landscapes. There is the first type of waterfall and stream installation which is the
stand alone waterfall and stream. This waterfall will be constructed out of cinder blocks
and little dirt. The look of this style of water feature is that it is mostly all above
ground with the exception of the disappearing reservoir. More rock will be used to conceal
its construction. These waterfalls and streams are also the fastest to install with little
digging or dirt removal and will fit in many small areas. This waterfall and stream will
start around $3500.00 with an additional $500.00 for plants and underwater lighting. The
two photos below are examples of a waterfall and stream under the $4000.00 price
tag. (electrical not included.)
The second type of waterfall and stream is
cinder block and/or a dirt build up. The dirt around these
waterfalls and streams will give the illusion that the waterfall was naturally built in to
a hill. Most of the dirt will come from digging out the pond and used for framing the
waterfalls. There is more rock used in this style of waterfall. The installation of
waterfalls with a pond takes about 3 to 4 times longer than the first style of pondless
waterfalls. Style 2 can also incorporate multiple waterfalls or a running stream or
babbling brook.. Plants and underwater lights will cost a little more than style 1. These
waterfalls will start around $9500.00 with an additional $500.00 to $1000.00 for plants
and underwater lighting. These two photos are examples of a waterfall and stream
under the $13,000.00 price tag. (electrical not included.) Fish are welcome.
The third type of waterfall and stream will be
built into existing landscape. The landscape may be a sloped back yard and the waterfall
will have to be constructed into the hill. This style will be the most natural looking of
the three style of waterfall and streams. The excavating of the property in this style of
waterfall or stream will take about 2 to 3 times longer than style two water features.
Pumps and material will need to be upgraded from style one and two. These types of water
features can't be installed in your normal neighborhood lots, you must have available land
to work with. These waterfalls and streams will start around $30,00.00 with an additional
$3,000.00 to $5,000.00 for plants and underwater lights with installation. These three
photos are examples of a waterfall and stream under the $55,000.00 price tag. (electrical
not included.)
