"We have been dreaming of a beautiful backyard since we bought our fixer upper home last year.  After researching many of the landscaping companies in our area that did paver patios we did consultations and got quotes to evaluate the companies based on price, quality and design suggestions.  I am so happy we used Salt Creek Gardens!  They exceeded my expectations in every area.  They were dependable and cleaned up after themselves after each day. The craftsmanship on the installation of the hardscape was impressive.  We just had our first dinner out in the backyard on the new patio with the fire burning and the water fountain running!Thank you so much to Brian at Salt Creek Gardens.  I recommend him to anyone that wants a quality landscaping project!                        The contact number for Salt Creek Gardens is 301-440-8017 They are located in Annapolis. But do work in surrounding areas."

Fountains questions, answered by experts

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.

The average pond maintenance cost is $2,000. But how much you pay to take care of your pond depends on multiple factors, such as the size of the pond and whether fish live in it. Your area's climate also affects the overall maintenance cost, as you may need to winterize your pond to protect it and any aquatic life in it during the colder months.

Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:

Pros

  • Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.

  • Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard. 

  • Water features can add more value to your home.

Cons

  • Regular maintenance is necessary.

  • Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.

  • Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.

Algae growth is a common issue for misters, but you can do several things to prevent it. First, use a sealed water tank with distilled or filtered water to fuel your misters. Second, blow out the misters after every use so no water is left in the tubing. Third, thoroughly clean the misting system every several weeks of use at minimum during the warmest months. Third, wherever possible positioning tubing and the water tank away from direct sunlight and in the coolest areas possible.

Most pond installations take 3-10 days, depending on excavation, liner placement, and filtration setup.
