Lake Construction

Lake Construction may seem as easy as digging a hole in the ground but there's more skill and planning required than one would think. Careful preparation prior to a lake construction project is required, as is the design to ensure that it meets the clients brief. Grassform Plant Hire specialises in and understands lake construction, and can offer its expertise to turn your idea into reality.

A lake construction project has to compliment the surrounding countryside so the placement of the lake can be very important. With 25 years experience Grassform Plant Hire can offer advice on how the position and look of the lake can be as made as natural as possible yet meet the demands of a commercial enterprise. We offer landscaping, tree planting, footpaths, maintenance tracks, swim and decking construction and reinstatement services to further enhance the finished lake construction project.

Lake Construction and Design

Grassform Plant Hire offers a complete lake design and construction service to get a project underway. We can survey the site, in the process identifying the soil type and recommend the optimum shape and depth constraints. Soil type is particularly important as a good clay soil would mean that the lake in most instances can be sealed or puddled. This process compacts the base and sides of the lake formation to form a water tight seal thus elimating the need for an expensive plastic liner. Identifying where a cost saving can be made is a vital aspect of Grassform Plant Hire's service in lake construction, with a typical liner costing £5 per square metre, this may add £25000 to the cost of a lake covering 5,000 square metres.
