Why water features work so well in Waimakariri
The Waimakariri district is growing fast — Pegasus, Woodend and the outskirts of Rangiora and Kaiapoi are seeing significant new development, and lifestyle blocks throughout the district offer the space for more ambitious water feature designs. A well-designed ecosystem pond or pondless waterfall can transform a new section or rural property into something genuinely special.
North Canterbury's open landscape and Canterbury climate make the sound and movement of water a welcome addition to any garden — and our ponds are built to perform through every season, from hot nor'west summers to cold frosty winters.
