"Tyler and Derrick did a beautiful job with installing our pond. We especially appreciated Tyler’s design sensibility when her artfully arranged rocks to form a waterfall and along the front of the pond. He also advised us on aquatic plants and fish that were suitable for our pond. They worked efficiently and took care to reduce the impact of installation on surrounding plants. The cost for the work was fair and reasonable."

"We worked with Rick and his colleague for a fairly large project at the lake, including path and stairs to the lake, some riprap work, and paver walkway and patio with fire pit. We appreciated Rickâ s professionalismâ He was great with communication and was very responsive to all forms. He worked to make adjustments to design and other details in a fair manner. His thoughts on design and his approach to problem solving for difficulties in terrain were great and very welcomed. The quality of their work was excellentâ RIck stands by his commitment to quality and this is evidence in his not calling the job complete until he was able to make certain with were fully happy with the results. Also evidence is his commitment to returning this spring to be sure the work stood up over the fall and winter. Given the size of the project and the small size of the crew (2 persons) the time of project was quite long. Also, PureScenery was quite a bit more expensive. However, assuming the quality in workmanship and customer service remains over time, will be worth the extra cost. We strongly recommend PureScenery."
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.
DIY kits exist, but professional installation ensures proper filtration, landscaping, and leak-proof construction.
