"They fixed broken pipes in my sprinkler system. They even found a second break that I didn't know about. While they were here, I had them look at the pump for my waterfall, as the old one had developed a leak and was noisy. They replaced the pump and installed all new fittings. It works great now."
"This is an Amazing Company. Kurt Betzler walked us through every phase of the project and even came out at 9PM at night to discuss a concern we had during the project. All in all, we couldn't be happier with the service, craftmanship, design, and communication. We then had our master bathroom remodeled. Recommend this company 100%!"
"He changed out our pump and pump motor with a system that is much more efficient! Ours was an older model and the technology of pump has changed considerably in the last few years. The address below is NOT the actual address where the work was preformed. I do not wish to share my son's street address.
"Babylon Builders did an amazing job in making our backyard look like the backyard all others envy. They added colored stamped concrete, an amazing custom sitting wall, new lawn and decorative rocks. Ron (The Owner) was extremely responsive and listened to our every request and executed our vision flawlessly. Juan (The Foreman) was a Rockstar and kept us informed throughout the process. I highly recommend you use Babylon if you want high end, award winning results!"
"Wow, Rupen showed up on time, was friendly and professional. He figured out the solution and fixed both sprinkler heads in record time. Totally recommend hiring him for sprinkler repair related work! Thanks Rupen! Great job!"
"I selected Bruce Smith of FBL Landscape to do a sprinkler system conversion and a refresh of my 15 yr old landscaping. Bruce was quick to respond to the request for a bid, and while not the cheapest his bid was right in line with the others bidding on the project. Bruce spent more time preparing the bid and made the effort to meet with me to review his bid. I felt very comfortable selecting FBL. The work was started very promptly after I accepted the bid and the work was finished much faster than I expected. I am very happy with the quality of the work done and the experince I had working with FBL. I would highly recommend Bruce and FBL to friends and acquaintances. ."
"Tito and his crew were wonderful! They really listened to my vision and worked with that when making the design for my yard. They also built lovely wood structures to really create an oasis in my yard. (Trellises for vines, raised garden beds, short fences to block the view of my AC unit). I am so very pleased with the end project!"
"I think they stuck very carefully with the design and executed it in a professional manner. I could have had the work done a little less expensive but I would have had to purchase the plants independently. I would also have had to contract with someone to get the dirt and the rocks and the other stuff, but they took care of everything; so I didn't have to worry about that."

In addition to length and width, pond liners also come in various thickness levels. Thickness is measured in mils, a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of an inch, with most pond liners ranging from 15 to 60 mils in thickness. The smaller the number, the thinner (and weaker) the liner. To prevent rips and tears, it’s best to choose a pond liner that’s at least 30 mils thick.
DIY kits exist, but professional installation ensures proper filtration, landscaping, and leak-proof construction.
Smaller, pondless water features like bird baths, self-contained fountains, and bubbling rocks are much lower maintenance than their counterparts that include ponds. Pondless features help you avoid high pond maintenance costs and allow you to spend more time enjoying the water feature and less time on upkeep.
In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.
Lifespans vary by material and manufacturer, but pond liners last anywhere from 10 to 75 years. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pond liners have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Other types of pond liners, including those made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), can last 40 to 50 years.
