"Excellent job! I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Prestige Property Solutions. It's been a month since my lawn was put in and it looks even more lush and gorgeous than it did on the first day it was installed. Jon and his team were amazing! Jon came to my home and gave me a very reasonable quote and within four days the job was complete. The project far exceeded my hopes and expectations. The crew had transformed the entire front area of my property, which was in deplorable condition, into a lovely, healthy looking lawn. The day of the installation Justina came very early and made sure everything was ready for the crew to begin. Everyone was extremely polite, professional, and extremely hardworking. I made several extra requests of Jon that day all of which he graciously granted at no extra expense. Noah followed up several times after the job was completed. Again, I cannot say enough complimentary things about this company. I would highly recommend Jon and his team and plan on hiring them again to transform more areas of my property in the future. Absolutely great job! Thank you everyone at Prestige Property Solutions!"

Fountains questions, answered by experts

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.

To maintain your pond, you’ll need to occasionally clean your backyard pond, especially if you have koi fish. Test the water twice a week to make sure your fish have everything they need and always remove visible debris.

A koi pond should be at least 5 feet deep to keep the fish healthy and ensure they don’t freeze in winter. Koi fish are also known for growing large, so the more room you have, the better. A larger koi pond size will allow the fish to grow bigger than a smaller one will, and the more fish you have, the bigger the pond you’ll need. Learn how to build a pond in your backyard to ensure it remains functional and aesthetically pleasing for a long time.

When deep cleaning your koi pond, transfer fish to a clean, uncontaminated container at least one foot deep, like a large bucket, tub, or kiddie pond. Fill the container with their existing pond water to avoid shocking them, and place the container in full or partial shade. When it’s time to reintroduce them into the pond, slowly add the new water to the container before adding the fish and container water back into the pond.

Koi fish should be in the shade and can’t be directly exposed to the sun. Consider building your koi pond in a shaded spot or hanging an awning over the top to control the amount of sunlight coming in. Learn how to design a landscape properly.
