"Awesome Job and very Professional. I had a previous pond builder do a terrible job even installed a used pump(no warranty). John came out and tried to repair my pump and but had to replace it with a new one after the clean out. He did such a great job they even found fish hiding I thought were dead and gone. My pond looks amazing once again and the fish are much happier. Thanks patriotic ponds. See you soon."
"When it comes to koi ponds, Jimmy is both an artist and a craftsman with a penchant for details. Couldnâ t be more satisfied with the koi pond he installed."

Patriotic Ponds is passionate about their projects and they taught us a lot as well! Please consider them if want a beautiful water feature in your yard!"
"Excellent experience! From the first meeting with Lock and the decision to rebuild my 18 year old pond and waterfall, everything went smoothly and in a timely manner. Lock has a great skill for vision and design. Lock was excellent with communication all along the way. I knew almost to the minute when the supplies would be delivered and when Lock and his crew would arrive for the rebuild. I was scheduled on a day that worked for me, which I really appreciated. Lock and his crew worked tirelessly for 12 hours to complete my project in one day, and it is better than I expected. At completion of my project, the water was flowing and splashing down the falls. The surrounding area looked so natural and perfect in my backyard. Clean up was great! I am very happy with Beholder Aquatics and happy to recommend them to anyone who wants a water feature of any size or design. You won't be disappointed!"

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.
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.
One reason you may want to fill in your pond is the cost of maintenance. Pond cleaning may cost about $1,000 for an annual cleanup, or monthly visits may cost $75 to $100 per visit. If you don’t want to spend that much per year on pond upkeep, you may consider filling in your pond.
Yes, it’s possible to DIY a plunge pool and shave labor costs off of the project total. If you’re considering a DIY build, keep in mind that you will be responsible for pool installation and landscaping (which may require excavation). This type of DIY project is best left to particularly handy homeowners who have prior pool installation experience.
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.
