As Aquascape-certified installers, we build ecosystem ponds and water gardens that are as healthy as they are beautiful — naturalistic edges, the right filtration and aeration, and aquatic plants that keep the water clear with surprisingly little work. Whether you want koi, a bubbling water garden, or a pondless waterfall, we design it to balance itself.
Ecosystem ponds that stay clear
A balanced pond does most of its own maintenance. We size biological and mechanical filtration to the volume, add aeration and circulation, and use plants and beneficial bacteria so the water stays clear and healthy — far less work than the algae-filled ponds people fear.
Koi ponds and water gardens
Koi need depth (about three feet), robust filtration, and good aeration to thrive — details we build in from the start. Prefer something simpler? A pondless waterfall gives you the sound and movement of water with no standing pond to maintain.

FAQ
Pond Installation: common questions
How much does a koi pond cost?
It depends on size, depth, filtration, and rockwork — a small water garden is an accessible project, while a large koi pond with premium filtration costs more. As Aquascape-certified builders we size the system correctly so it stays healthy, and we provide a clear estimate.
How much maintenance does a pond need?
A properly built ecosystem pond is surprisingly low-maintenance — periodic cleaning, occasional filter checks, and seasonal care. The filtration, aeration, and plant balance we design in are what keep routine upkeep minimal.
How deep does a koi pond need to be?
Around three feet minimum for koi, which keeps water temperature stable and gives fish room and protection. We design depth, shelves, and filtration around healthy koi from the start.
