"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

How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons.

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.

Most home misters use several cups of water in a couple of minutes, or around a gallon per hour of use. That varies greatly depending on the size of the system and the power of the pump. If you are using professional services, you should ask about water use for your planned system when you’re getting an estimate. If you are using a water tank, make sure it’s filled before operation.

A koi pond may add value to your home if it’s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they’re a popular selling point, and how well they’re incorporated into your home’s landscape.

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.
