5) Reconstruction and maintenance
There are many pools or ponds that have been designed and built without really understanding how to make it function at its optimal state; green murky pools are an ugly sight. Our team offer 1x free consultations to first discover where the problem is and discuss any added features that you may desire. Cleaning and redesigning the pool and filter system as well revegetation, will bring the water back into a healthy balanced state.

Water Feature OptionsSculpture: Balinese hand carved stone or cement sculpture installation.
Rock Waterfall: basic rock stacked and set in cement to create a little waterfall. Cement Sculptured Installation: handmade rocks for cascading water which is shaped from cement and coloured with pigment (photo top). Stone Bath: Real stone hand carved bath; it is not only an interesting water feature, it is an added rock pool to bath in. Ceramic pot or spout covered with bamboo or rope: for an affordable, simple option. NOTE: Water feature images are examples only - not for sale.

DeckingThe filter chambers are quite large, the best way to hide them whilst utilizing space and incorporating functionality is to cover them with durable wooden decking. The decking is made with hinged doors to allow easy access to the filters. We use iron wood which is sturdy and long lasting even in the tropical climate.
|
Plants and FishThere are many different water plants that help to filter and oxygenate and purify the water; water hyacinth or water lilies are particularly good water purifiers and both have a beautiful flower. Reeds are also very good as they can also create a wall for privacy around your pool and extra shade.
There are a few types of fish that are extra good for insect control, such as algae eaters. |
LightingYes we do it all, even lighting. Special under water lighting or spot lights for the water features. Over hanging lighting for the decking area for that dramatic feel or fairy lights to create a fun and magical atmosphere. The Illumination at night time is that added touch that will create a spectacle for your evening functions.

Important things to Consider
Cost for excavation can be dramatically different depending on the access to your property. If an excavator and truck cannot enter close to the site the pool will need to be dug out by hand and materials carried in using people power, this adds a substantial amount to the labor costs.
Check-ups for your reassurance will be routinely done for 2 months and is included for all projects. Note that during this time it is possible that the water turn yellow; this will only happen while the plants are being established. For any additional check-ups or pool cleaning we charge the daily rate of 300,000rp plus materials.
Maintenance It is important to know that a living pool may always have a thin layer of algae on the rocks, however the water should always be crystal clean. If you want a pool that looks as clean as a chlorine pool then you need to take out the leaves daily and have it scrubbed three times per week.
