"Does an outstanding job. Very fair and honest. He actually cares about is home owners and takes alot of pride in his work. Gary has done alot of work for me, and my parents, for different projects over the years. He worked hard geatting the appropriate drainae system for my yard and it made a huge difference. Gary's pricing is more than fair. He is knowledgeable in the trades and is determined to do the best job possible. I highly recommend Gary and his company with out hesitation."
"They service went well. I thought the pricing was reasonable and the job was well done. I had them come out while my husband was away after a snow storm. The company was pretty busy but they were able to make time for me. They cleared the sidewalk, driveway, front of the house and steps. They were very responsive and I thought it was very nice that he could fit me in."

"Dave figured out the best solution. He and his worker dug the trenches and covered the pipes with the patches of grass after they installed the pipes, pump, & pop-up drain. It was a very professional job and works great so far. I have not seen the yard flooded since he did this work. He kept in touch with me by phone and email since I was not there the whole time as it is my summer home. This is the third time I had Dave back to do work. I had major damage from Hurricane Sandy and on 4/13/13 he also did work for me. He worked in my crawl space. He replaced insulation, cleaned joists with an antimicrobial agent and then painted them with antimold resistant paint, replaced a vapor barrier, installed a sump pump, repaired foundation vents, and filled cracks in my foundation. All for a resonable price! Dave is honest, fair and very professional. He always returns my calls in a timely manner. I will call on him again for future work. "
The average pond maintenance cost is $2,000. But how much you pay to take care of your pond depends on multiple factors, such as the size of the pond and whether fish live in it. Your area's climate also affects the overall maintenance cost, as you may need to winterize your pond to protect it and any aquatic life in it during the colder months.
In addition to length and width, pond liners also come in various thickness levels. Thickness is measured in mils, a unit of measurement equal to one-thousandth of an inch, with most pond liners ranging from 15 to 60 mils in thickness. The smaller the number, the thinner (and weaker) the liner. To prevent rips and tears, it’s best to choose a pond liner that’s at least 30 mils thick.
Backyard water features can add serenity to your property, drown out neighborhood noise, and serve as a focal point to a stunning landscape design. In some cases, a properly installed and maintained water feature can add to your home’s value. Just be sure to check with your insurance company before installation since some features may affect your premiums.
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.
Costs depend on design, materials, plumbing, labor, and optional lighting or filtration features.
