"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."
"Thank you for the beautiful landscaping done on my yard. I'm very pleased with everything from the work done, as well as the reasonableness of the quote, and your work ethics. I'll continue to refer you to any of my friends who request landscaping done."
"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.
Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use. In lieu of an electric pump, there are a few options including hand-cranked pumps or sprinkler systems that can work to provide water for a fountain.
Natural pools don’t necessarily attract snakes, although there is a chance they could stop by for a quick visit. They’re not likely to stay, however, because there’s nothing for snakes to eat in a natural pool environment. A well-maintained natural pool has clear water, so you should be able to easily spot a snake before diving in.
When deep cleaning your koi pond, transfer fish to a clean, uncontaminated container at least one foot deep, like a large bucket, tub, or kiddie pond. Fill the container with their existing pond water to avoid shocking them, and place the container in full or partial shade. When it’s time to reintroduce them into the pond, slowly add the new water to the container before adding the fish and container water back into the pond.
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.
