"They did an amazing job on installing drainage with river stone across our front yard. They also enlarged our existing flower beds to help with the drainage and put in a lovely path from our front door through the flower beds. The crew and the supervisor were all extremely professional and respectful of our property. They arrived on time and worked hard throughout the duration of the project. I would highly recommend them!"
"Our driveway was filled with pot holes from recent rain storms. Ricky Cook Excavating provided an estimate and completed the job in a timely manner. Fresh gravel and grading made all the difference in the world. I would recommend and use them for future projects."

"Repaired a leaky faucet for us, so far so good! Great customer service and were available right away, even after business hours. We appreciated that they were able to diagnose the problem, and they didn't recommend a bigger job than what was needed."
"We just completed PHASE 1 of our landscaping project that we are thoroughly delighted with, thanks to Nick Cardillo and "The Yardfathers." After talking with several landscapers, we were most impressed with Nick's knowledge and professionalism, and hired "The Yardfathers" for the job. He and his crew were hard working, punctual and considerate. Nick was an absolute genius with his Bobcat. 'Can't wait to get "The Yardfathers" back for PHASE 2!!!"
"Alex and his crew were great. They were here on time and alway clean up after themselves. Alex was prompt to respond to our request. The water feature is beautiful. He even took the time to send a thank you note. That is what I call a great business man. Barbara and David Hinson"
Costs depend on design, materials, plumbing, labor, and optional lighting or filtration features.
How many fish can call your pond home depends on the volume of the pond and the fish size. Your pond's filtration system also influences the number of fish that will thrive in a pond. A general rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish for every square foot in a pond that's 2 feet deep. Another rule of thumb you can follow is to have one koi fish for every 200 gallons of water or two goldfish for every 200 gallons.
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.
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.
Most outdoor water fountains and features do not use a lot of electricity, typically consuming between 100 and 250 watts per day. The size of the fountain's motor can impact its overall electricity usage. To reduce energy consumption, you can use a timer to automatically turn the fountain off at night or when you are away from home. Additionally, installing solar power components can help lower electricity costs after the initial investment is recouped.
