"Hired Michael to fix a leaking/non-working basalt pillar fountain, I am so happy with his work, the fountain will now provide many years of beauty to my backyard. Michael is a man of his word and a courteous professional."
"Brandon and his guys were all amazing! They cleaned out our pond and filter, and installed lights in the fountain. Brandon had me take pictures of the lights after dark and came back out to adjust them to make them even prettier.We will definitely be enjoying our fountain more now in the evenings!"
"Chris was amazing. He kept us informed and followed thru on everything. He knew exactly what we wanted and is very knowledgable. We love our backyard and can’t wait to make memories in it."
"Andrew exceeded our expectations, his ability to take an idea and bring it to reality was truly amazing. With his artisty and attention to details turned our backyard pool into a resort oasis all being done in a timley matter. Thank you and your talented team."
"They did a good job, they were efficient and polite and respectful. They were delayed but did get here and got right to it once they did get here. They will return to remove the lights and will update then,"
"Brandon and his team at 208 Specialties did a HUGE heated paver driveway project for me and they nailed it! Everyone on the team was great to work with and they did a fantastic job. Brandon was friendly throughout the whole process and flexible along the way. They not only did the pavers, but they embedded the electric heat cable so my driveway stays nice and clear even in Donnelly winters! I can’t say enough about them and would highly recommend them for your next landscaping or paver project!"
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.
When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area’s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don’t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.
Seeps and springs form when groundwater reaches the earth’s surface. The main differences between them are the amount of water and the flow rate. Seeps are smaller than springs and consist of water that’s stagnant or flows slowly. Springs contain more water and flow more quickly.
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.
Frogs may love your yard and want to take up residence for several reasons. Yards can offer a moist environment or access to water. Frogs also eat insects—your yard may offer a steady stream of their preferred diet, such as grasshoppers, crickets, fruit flies, and more.
