DrillingCo helps golf clubs, farms, estates and commercial landowners create practical water storage solutions, from functional irrigation reservoirs to natural-looking ornamental lakes.
A well designed lake or reservoir can reduce reliance on mains water, support irrigation during dry periods, improve land value, and create an attractive feature that blends into the surrounding landscape.
Whether the goal is to water golf greens, irrigate crops, support estate grounds, or create long term drought resilience, we provide a complete concept to construction approach.
We help plan how the reservoir fits into your land, where it should be positioned, how it can be filled, how it connects to pumps or irrigation systems, and how it should look once finished.

For golf clubs, water storage is becoming increasingly important. A private irrigation lake can help protect greens, tees and fairways during dry periods while also creating a beautiful course feature.
We can design and construct reservoirs that are functional but still look natural, with shaped banks, marginal planting, discreet pump house locations, access tracks, and pipe routes planned from the beginning.
A reservoir does not have to look like an industrial lagoon. With the right design, it can become part of the course
For farms and estates, water storage provides greater control, security and independence.
Reservoirs can be used for:
-
Crop irrigation
-
Livestock water supply
-
Estate grounds maintenance
-
Backup water storage
-
Rainwater and runoff collection
-
Borehole-fed storage systems
-
Drought resilience planning
For golf clubs and estates, appearance matters just as much as function. DrillingCo can help create a lake that looks natural rather than industrial, using curved lake shapes, regraded banks, marginal planting, reeds, aquatic plants, natural stone edges, grass reinstatement, screening trees and shrubs, and discreet pump house placement. The aim is to build a practical water-storage feature that supports irrigation and long term water resilience, while also improving the surrounding landscape and becoming an attractive part of the course or estate.
WATER RESERVOIR/LAKE CONCEPT PLAN:
Before construction begins, we recommend a Water Security & Reservoir Concept Plan.
This helps identify:

Access for machinery and maintenance
-
Planning and ecology considerations
-
Whether the reservoir should be hidden, functional, or ornamental
-
Indicative construction budget

This stage gives the client a clear direction before committing to a major construction project.
