Water Storage & Tanks in Melbourne
Water tanks installed, excavation and all
Consolidated Horticultural Services handles water tank installation and water storage across Melbourne, from above-ground tanks through to large underground systems. Because we run our own earthmoving fleet, we excavate, install and connect the tank ourselves, then tie it into your irrigation so the water actually gets used. It is a complete water storage solution, not just a tank dropped on site.
Melbourne water tank installation, from the hole to the hose
Installing water storage well, especially underground, is as much an earthmoving job as a plumbing one. CHS installs tanks using our own low ground pressure excavation fleet, so the excavation, base, backfill and connections are all handled by one team. That means an underground water tank goes in cleanly and correctly, without you coordinating a separate excavator and installer.
We install everything from garden water storage tanks through to large-capacity and underground systems for bigger properties. Combined with water harvesting, stored water can run your garden independently of mains supply, feeding directly into an irrigation system so nothing is wasted.
CHS has worked on Melbourne properties since 1995 and is led by Alistair Bethke, a registered builder. That structural grounding matters with water storage, where the tank has to sit on ground that is prepared and stable, particularly for the large volumes we regularly handle.

Water Storage FAQs
Common questions about water tank installation and storage across Melbourne.
How much does water tank installation cost in Melbourne?
It depends on the size of the tank, whether it is above or below ground, and how much excavation and connection is involved. Underground tanks need more groundwork, so we assess the site and quote each job rather than pricing off the tank alone.
Do you install underground water tanks?
Yes. We excavate and install underground tanks with our own earthmoving fleet, so one team handles the job from start to finish.
How big a tank can you install?
Everything from garden water storage tanks to large-capacity underground systems. We regularly handle large volumes for bigger properties.
Can the tank feed my irrigation?
Yes. We connect storage straight into your irrigation, so harvested and stored water runs the garden and can reduce or replace your reliance on mains supply.
Do you handle the excavation, or do I arrange that separately?
We handle it. Our earthmoving fleet does the excavation and site preparation in-house, which is what makes underground installs straightforward.
Can stored water run my garden without mains?
Yes. Combined with water harvesting, a properly sized tank can run your irrigation independently of mains supply, which is especially useful through water restrictions and dry spells.
