Ponds - The Biggest Money in landscaping
What happens here
Greg Wittstock walks through a retail store display featuring various Aquascape water features, demonstrating the different types and their financial aspects. He explains that an 'Ecosystem Pond' (7 ft by 9 ft with a cascading waterfall) starts at $5,999 installed (or $120/month financing). This basic pond can be installed in 30 man-hours, generating approximately $4,000 in profit. He then shows a slightly larger 'Ecosystem Pond with Waterfall and Stream' (7 ft by 9 ft with a 6-7 ft stream) priced at $7,499 installed (or $150/month), which also maintains a 50% gross profit margin. The material cost for a 7 ft by 9 ft pond kit is estimated at around $1,200 plus rocks.
Goal: Illustrate the different types of water features and their associated costs and profit margins.
