"Andy and his crew turned our backyard nightmare into a garden paradise. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.
Our new home came with a built-in water feature in the yard. The previous owners had let it fall into disrepair, but we could tell that it was beautiful at one point. We wanted a professional to inspect it and, if needed, to make necessary repairs.
We found Andy on Angie's List and contacted him because of his unique specialization in water features. We were very happy we did so: Andy is an expert at what he does and is passionate about the design and installation of water features. This came across clearly from our first conversations and carried through into the quality of the final product.
When Andy came out to inspect our fountain we were very disappointed to learn the water feature was in such disrepair that it was flooding our yard (a known issue whose cause we were having trouble pin-pointing). It also had a standing pool of water at its base that was beginning to breed mosquitoes and other forms of wildlife. Further, the previous owners had chosen a very invasive form of decorative grass that had pierced the water barrier and taken over a large portion of the surrounding yard..
Andy worked with us to come up with a solution that fit our budget while still allowing us to keep a water feature in our yard. He was able to do this by re-using many of the existing materials to save cost (e.g. the water pump, water lines, and a large portion of the rocks). I have not encountered many contractors that were willing to do this over the years, and I have to say I truly respect Andy for being so flexible with us.
To make matters better, he stuck with the budget and delivered us a BEAUTIFUL waterfall all within our negotiated time frame. Over two days, Ponds to Patios removed our old water feature, tilled the earth to remove the root system of the invasive grass, installed a new water barrier, and built us a new fountain.
Andy guaranteed his craftsmanship for a year. Given the quality of the final product, though, I doubt we'll need to call him for service.
I know Ponds-to-patios is not the biggest outfit around the area, but they are definitely dedicated to what they do. They are a passionate and honest business that will work hard to earn your trust and business.

Fountains FAQs, answered by experts

Lifespans vary by material and manufacturer, but pond liners last anywhere from 10 to 75 years. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pond liners have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Other types of pond liners, including those made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), can last 40 to 50 years.

Even if you empty your pond before the winter, there’s a good chance it will refill naturally. It’s ideal in most cases, then, to leave water in your pond and winterize it instead. This method will prevent ice damage and protect wildlife. Plus, it’ll lessen the steps required to reopen your pond in the spring.

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.

A good rule of thumb is to change 5% to 15% of your koi pon’s water every week. Partial water changes help keep your koi healthy, and replacing small amounts at a time prevents causing stress for the fish.

In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.
