"Eric was very helpful and assured me that Cody could come out to connect my Buddy meter to my irrigation system. While Cody was here he was able to help me with one other need I had in my flower bed. I would recommend Thompson Service. 10 out of 10 👍 Trustworthy and dependable."

"Eric Thompson and his crew were willing to jump in and help me immediately when I had an irrigation system leakage issue. They did not hesitate to help even though I live in Indiana and the house is in AL. So impressed with his level of service and repaired the problem quickly and with minimal cost. Highly recommend this company and Eric Thompson!!!!!"

Fountains questions, answered by experts

You have several options for your pond by getting your yard ready for the winter. You can winterize your koi pond by ensuring it’s at least 5 feet deep so it doesn’t freeze completely, installing a pond heater or aerator and having it run at all times, and installing a deicer if temperatures are dangerously low for an extended period. You can also choose to shut down your pond for the winter by removing all the wildlife in it and bringing it indoors, cleaning out the filter and pump, and then covering the pond with a tarp.

When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area’s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don’t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.

Pond installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the pond's size, the materials used, excavation requirements, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, or specialized habitats for fish like koi.

DIY kits exist, but professional installation ensures proper filtration, landscaping, and leak-proof construction.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.
