Artificial Rock Ponds
Episode: #4 14/04/07
Presenter: Neville Passmore
Living as we do in the driest inhabited continent makes the presence of water in the garden a wonderful luxury to which most gardeners aspire, that delightful sound of trickling and the lovely sight of the cooling liquid makes a garden special.
Water can become a magnet for local wildlife with birds lizards and insects calling in for a drink particularly in times of drought.
Putting together a natural rock pond can cost a bomb with stonemasons working in real rock but an Australian look-a-like design is not only lightweight but it looks incredibly realistic. Every one is unique as a result of the hand finishing.
If you are worried about the effect of water restrictions on ponds then don’t! The natural ponds in Neville’s story re-circulate the water around and there is very little loss through evaporation. They are a water-wise garden highlight that can bring beauty, tranquility and the soothing sounds of water into your life.
Being crafted from Polyurethane and covered in crushed rock means the natural ponds are durable, affordable, light, non toxic to fish and will hold their colours for a lifetime making for hassle free water gardening.
The unit, called utopia, is dead easy to install it is simply a matter of positioning it on a flat surface, plugging in the power, adding water and turning on the go switch. All up it can take just a few minutes. Add some leafy greenery to partially cover the edges and straightaway the pond turns into an eye and ear catching feature in a courtyard.
A special offer from Universal Rocks; if you mention the Garden Gurus when buying the utopia model at your local garden centre in the next four weeks you will receive a $211 discount bringing the price down below $850
