Our Services – Waterscaping & Landscaping in Adelaide and South Australia
At SA Waterscapes, we offer complete design, construction, and maintenance services for custom ponds, streams, waterfalls, natural pools, wetlands, fountainscapes, and surrounding landscape elements.
Every project is thoughtfully crafted to suit your space, your budget, lifestyle, and the way you want to enjoy your garden.
Design

Phase 1 – Consultation, Site Assessment & Design
Your project begins with an on-site consultation with Corrie, where we explore your ideas, goals, and the possibilities for your space. This is where we get to understand what you love and how you envision your outdoor environment.
We can design your waterscape alone, or include landscaping of the surrounding area to create a fully integrated and cohesive garden space.
During your on site consultation, we will:
- Discuss access and logistics, identify service power, water sources and drainage
- Mark out your design on site so you can feel the size and scale of your waterscape
- Quote up your project (depending on scale)
- Sit down together and go through the quote in detail making necessary changes as you see fit
Depending on the scope of the job a full estimate can be provided, adjusted and accepted all in the comfort of your own home.
Consultation Fee: $550 + GST (deducted from your final project cost if you proceed)
A travel fee applies for sites located more than 50 km from our base.
Phase 2 – Estimate & Deposit
Following your consultation, we’ll send you a detailed estimate outlining your customised design, materials, and project scope.
Once accepted, a 50% deposit secures your materials and books your project into our schedule with an estimated start date. You will also receive a formal contract for your review and approval before we begin.
Construction

Phase 3 – Construction Begins
Our team begins bringing your custom waterscape to life, building your design with precision, care, and attention to detail.
Throughout the process, you’ll be kept fully informed. If any variations arise during construction, we’ll discuss them with you first and provide an updated estimate before proceeding, ensuring complete transparency from start to finish.
Education
Phase 4 – Handover & Education
Once your waterscape is complete, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about caring for and enjoying your new feature.
You’ll learn about:
- How the system works
- Basic maintenance
- What to expect as your ecosystem settles and matures
We’ll also follow up with a friendly check-in to see how everything is developing. As the ecosystem takes shape, let nature lead the way and enjoy watching your waterscape evolve.
Enjoy
Phase 5 – Exploring your waterscape
Your waterscape is now ready to enjoy. This is where you truly get to relax into your new garden space. A peaceful, sustainable refuge for you, your family, and the local wildlife that will soon call it home.
Take your time exploring its sights and sounds, and enjoy the calm, connection, and natural beauty your waterscape brings to everyday life.
Maintenance
