"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

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.

Natural swimming pools are designed to deter pests, including mosquitoes. While any body of water can potentially attract pests, the natural filtration system keeps the water clean and constantly moving. Mosquitoes specifically are attracted to standing water, so the continuously circulating water in a natural pool makes it an inhospitable environment for them.

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.

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.

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.
