"When Paul met with me the first time, he spent about 2 hours going over our options for a dog run. He had a lot of good ideas and recommendations for the safety of our dog. The natural stone was a perfect recommendation, and it turned out great. Our dog loves it and doesn’t get his paws muddy like before. Paul’s team arrived on time, were professional and a pleasure to work with. They did a great job removing our bush, removing some grass to put down the natural stones. They cleaned up everything after they were done on both days. We are glad we hired them and would use them again in the future if needed. We recommend OCR, Inc. Luisa and Eric R"

Fountains questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering how to build a pond above ground, it’s similar to building a pond below ground. Instead of digging, choose a plastic tub and install the same type of pond kit. Many homeowners find above-ground ponds a bit easier to install and maintain. Before getting started, learn how to design the landscape of your dreams,

Pond installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the pond's size, the materials used, excavation requirements, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, or specialized habitats for fish like koi.

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.

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.
