Why You Should Hire Someone To Build a Waterfall Feature for a Backyard in Barnum Island, 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 Barnum Island, 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 Barnum Island, 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.

You Can Get the Job Done Quicker

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 Barnum Island, NY

Barnum Island is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, New York, United States. The population was 2,414 at the 2010 census. It occupies the eastern portion of an island situated between Long Island and Long Beach. That island, previously known in its entirety as Hog Island, consists entirely of the communities of Barnum Island, Island Park, and Harbor Island.

Previously called Hog Island, after the feral pigs introduced by early European explorers to the Native Americans, it was later renamed for Sarah Ann Baldwin Barnum. It was also sometimes called Jekyl Island, after the name of the development company that bought it from the county.

Between 1851 and 1870, Sarah Ann’s husband Peter owned large parcels of land on Long Island, though his primary business was a Manhattan clothier. Sarah Ann arranged the purchase of Hog Island for use as a ‘poor farm’ – a self-supporting almshouse, a social innovation for that period, and the island was renamed in her honor.

Local lore connects the island’s name to P.T. Barnum, the circus impresario, but this is incorrect, and likely due to confusion between ‘PT’ and ‘PC’ (Peter C.).
