Ecosystem and Recreation Swimming Ponds

(Click here for our Ponds and Water Gallery)

Think Green Landscapes design and install ponds designed in-house and from other designers. We can draw up construction plans if required for council building permits for recreation swimming ponds and understand pool fencing requirements so can recommend and install suitable fencing if required.

We use the Aquascape system for most of our pond installations but also use and custom design ponds with other products and systems if circumstances require. We focus on creating natural looking ponds with a completely chemical free filtration system. Usually we recommend a combined mechanical and biological filtration system like the Skimmer unit and Biofalls employed in the Aquascapes Ecosystem ponds.

In larger ponds and recreation swimming ponds we recommend a constructed wetland filter teamed with either skimmer unit/s or a negative edge intake bay to perform the mechanical filtration. Cartridge biofilters with or without UV light can be used, but we prefer the more effective natural version letting beneficial bacteria in combination with plants and gravel beds do the job as they do in nature.

Our projects are built using a combination of a small in-house construction  team with regular specialist subcontractors helping us out when required. All work is arranged and managed by Think Green Landscapes. A full range of complementary landscape design and construction services are also available to complete the garden around your pond project.
