Overview
The fantastic Landscape Tanks are stunning pieces of landscape architecture that store water. They are changing the way people think about water storage.
Landscape Tanks are multi-purpose units, which may be used as pre-engineered structural retaining walls, front or side fences, courtyard or pool surrounds and they look simply amazing.
They incorporate planter box tops as standard, which apart from growing flowers, plants and herbs may also be used for Outdoor Kitchens, BBQs, water features, fountains, birdbaths, day beds for around pools and even fishponds – the list is endless. Best of all they continue to provide savings for many years to come as water costs continue to rise – potentially tens of thousands of dollars in some cases.
Landscape Tanks – as retaining walls are also economical to install, often saving customers large amounts of money, especially when multi-purposed for retaining walls or fences and the like, plus future water saving contributions.
Government rebates even apply when Landscape Tanks are used as retaining walls, as they are considered water tanks as well.
Check with your local council for details. Landscape Tanks come in raw grey concrete and may be decorated to suit any decor and to match existing surrounds, e.g. tiles, render and textured paint.
