"Grayson did an outstanding job with my landscaping project. He was very professional, polite, timely with proposals and design, and fair on price. I would 100% recommend him for any landscaping projects."
"Jack reviewed the two ideas I was thinking of, and carefully explained why they probably wouldnâ  t satisfy us. He then laid out his ideas and the supporting details and it had been an awesome blessing! We have had countless hours enjoying the beauty of the pond. He installed it in four days and our backyard has been beautiful since."
"With a large tree dying next to our back door, we knew we wanted an outdoor kitchen but had no good idea where to start. We received three designs and estimates, Outdoor Artisans had by far the best design and a competitive price. While Clive started the process, Josh took it from there and was terrific. Always on time, responsive and most of all, did a great job. We are planning to do a second phase for the yard next year and will definitely use them again."
"Great. I've been an Excel customer for years for my home power washing and deck maintenance and was in a bind because the landscaper I hired was a no show, so I gave Excel a call. The guys were timely in their arrival and completion of work. Their prices are higher than other companies I have used, but their quality of work is outstanding and well worth the difference in price."
"We recommend Omega Renovations. They fixed some sprinkler and drainage issues at our home. They were skilled, pleasant and very professional. Sincerely, Pat and Lee Jones"
"Service was excellent and precise! Will definitely recommend to all my friends and neighbors for their yard maintenance. Thank you J&R Landscaping and I will be using you all again!!"
"Bill recently ripped out my old overgrown landscaping in the front of my house, and redesigned it to include Encore azaleas and other plants. The redesign is fantastic and I’m very happy with it. He also updated my yard with landscape lighting, which many of my neighbors have now commented how much they enjoy. I’ve previously had Bill and his team install a fountain, replace much of my poorly designed irrigation system (that came with the house when I bought it), and fix fencing for me when a tree came down, and the fencing required custom work. He and his team leads do great work. Bill is a perfectionist, and he always goes above and beyond. It's hard to find someone with this kind of work ethic nowadays."
"I can’t say enough about Steve and Sisk Landscaping. Steve is a professional who takes his time paying attention to detail. He is SO knowledgeable about not only landscaping but has so many other things he can advise you on. He listens to his clients and executes their vision."
One of the most important parts of building a pond is digging the right depth. Your pond needs to be at least one to two feet deep. The specifics of the depth will depend on factors such as the placement of the pond and whether you plan on having fish. If you have fish in your pond, it will need to be at least two feet deep.
Because frogs require fresh water for survival, they can die from repeated exposure to swimming pool chemicals. Chlorine dehydrates frogs, which can lead to their deaths. To ensure frogs don’t hang out in your pool for long periods, safely remove them once you spot them in your pool and install a frog log so they can easily hop out on their own.
Fountain maintenance is an important part of having a clean foundation in the first place. To keep your fountain water clean, you can use a water additive designed specifically to limit scale, algae, and other buildup in fountains. Or opt to use white vinegar as a pantry-ready water additive.
After you fill in your pool, you can add trees and plants that help stabilize the soil. You might decide not to fill it in at all and find another use for the sunken area instead. A few ideas include creating a seating area or garden inside the empty pool. Depending on its size, you could create a place to roller-skate or install basketball hoops for an unconventional court.
Small ponds can be drained and filled in about a day. Larger ponds will take two or three days for professional removal.
