Why You Should Hire Someone To Build a Waterfall Feature for a Backyard in Atlantic Beach, NY

Everyone wants their backyard to look beautiful. It’s your sanctuary; you should make it relaxing and perfect for you. One of the best ways to do this is to create a waterfall feature for a backyard in Nassau County.

However, should you do the job on your own, or should you hire someone to help? Backyard waterfalls in Atlantic Beach, NY are beautiful, but a lot can go wrong if you DIY a small pond. There’s a lot more at stake than aesthetics, though.

A lot goes into creating a garden pond. After all, you can’t make a water feature with just a garden hose, some shallow water, and a flat stone. You have to dig a decent-sized hole, know how to work electronics, and it takes time to get it perfect.

If you want a gorgeous waterfall design, you need to call Scott Anderson Design. We can create anything from a smaller waterfall to a grand water garden. If you want to turn your Nassau County backyard into a relaxing oasis, read about why you should hire Scott Anderson Design to build a waterfall feature for a backyard today.

A Lot of Electrical Work Goes Into It

Backyard waterfalls are beautiful to look at, so you may not realize all the technology that lies behind them. After all, you have to do more than lay down a pond liner and fill the pond to create a gorgeous garden pond.

If you want a working outdoor waterfall in your Atlantic Beach, NY backyard, you need to invest in electrical and plumbing work. If you don’t have experience working as an electrician, you may struggle to do the job right. Plus, you don’t want to mix loose electrical lines with water.

Therefore, you should always call a pro when you want to build a pond with water moving. Also, it will cost a lot of money to do the job, mess up, then have to call someone to fix it. That’s especially true if you have already finished setting up your waterfall or pond. You have to place the electrical cords pretty far down, so you’ll most likely have to take everything apart if you didn’t do the job right the first time.

And a Lot of Digging

As we touched upon, you need to do a lot of digging to create a pond in Nassau County. While the result is gorgeous, do you want to spend hours, even days, digging a hole for it? That’s why you should leave this job to the professionals. They have the right tools and the experience to do the job well.

Plus, you have to dig evenly. Otherwise, you’ll have a lopsided pond. Even flexible liners can’t save you in this case. Show your backyard some respect by choosing the experts for your backyard waterfalls or pond designs.

Professionals like us at Scott Anderson Design have the best tools and experience at our disposal to get the job done quickly. It can take you weeks, even months of work, to get your waterfall design looking perfect. Think of how many times you may have to go over the sides of the pond and reposition the liner.

When you don’t know what you’re doing, it will take longer to see the results you want, and it will take more effort. You can’t have a garden designed to perfection if you’ve never designed one before.

Higher Quality

Finally, you get the best, highest quality job when you choose to go with a professional. Creating a backyard waterfall or garden pond isn’t easy; there are a lot of factors you need to consider. While you may have an image of what you want it to look like in your head, it may not turn out the way you want it to.

However, you take away that guesswork when you hire someone to build a waterfall feature for a backyard. While you have to pay more upfront, you’ll save money by having the job done right the first time. Besides, you’ll awe your friends with your gorgeous backyard.

Some information about Atlantic Beach, NY

Atlantic Beach is a village in New York. It is located off the South Shore of Long Island in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the village population was 1,891.

The first real interest in the barrier island of Atlantic Beach came in 1922 when Robert Moses, the famous highway builder and public works czar, and Chairman of the State Council of Parks, included Atlantic beach as part of his ‘State Park Plan for New York’. The blueprint, which is on file at the archives in Albany, showed a parkway from central Queens to a bridge crossing Reynolds Channel with architecturally refined facilities for thousands of beach goers; unfortunately however, cost overruns on many of Mr. Moses’ other projects at the time and other factors dampened his plans which were ultimately abandoned.

In 1923, the village’s first developer, Atlantic Beach Associates led by Stephen P. Pettit, a former Nassau County Sheriff and banker from Freeport, had dreams of creating a place that would rival the City of Long Beach, which was created by a Politician and amusement park operator named William H. Reynolds. He died just after buying land for 3,500 lots in Atlantic Beach.

In 1926, real estate tycoon William Austin, who graduated from Yale University with his associate, Charles N. Talbot Jr, formed Island Park Associates which purchased the land for $4,000,000. William Austin was married to Actress Josephine Sanders, better known as Irene Delroy; the wedding was officiated by Mayor James J. Walker on July 15, 1931. Austin and Talbot completed Pettit’s preliminary dredging and. shoring work, and proceeded to subdivide the property. They installed gas and electricity lines, and a sanitary sewer system was installed in 1927. They began selling land and building homes; the first 45 of the 150 homes they planned on building were financed using a mortgage from The Title Guarantee and Trust Company. The. homes were all designed with seven rooms, two baths, private detached garages on 48′ x 88′ lots and were built in a wide array of styles. Mr. Austin finished Petitt’s plan to build a bridge between Far Rockaway and Atlantic beach, which was opened and dedicated on June 29, 1927. A boardwalk was planned for the entire ocean side but, as constructed, it was about a mile long, stretching from west of The Plaza and extending beyond Vernon Avenue, and double the width of the boardwalk which exists today.
