"Erik was a true professional - very knowledgeable and dedicated to the job. Was always available for any questions or concerns and kept me informed on how everything was going. Would recommend him for any pond and fountain job--10/10. He now has a customer for life!"
"Highly Recommended! Marc installed a new paver walkway, along with new steps (risers and treads) and new front door landing. Marc really created an excellent design, with all the different material colors blending together so incredibly perfectly. All looks outstanding! The installation and workmanship is perfect! The new walkway, steps and landing have really made such a major difference in the curb appeal of the home! Marc truly is excellent to work with! He went incredibly above and beyond with his service! Ten Stars! Thank you, Marc! Sincerely, Homeowner Michele, The Fairways at Lake Ridge, Lakewood, NJ."
"Phenomenal! Damian and two of his employees got right to work promptly at their arrival time. It was laborious work removing concrete and large border rocks. All materials were hauled away. The work was in my front yard, and the area was left neatly completed. Thanks again, Damian."
"We needed a kitchen sink and faucet, a bathroom sink and faucet, and one toilet replaced. In addition, a leaky faucet in our tub/shower required repair. We had a second toilet replaced at a later date. The sinks and toilets were fairly routine and Mastropiero handled them smoothly and efficiently. They were also very helpful in providing specs before doing the job for what we should buy that would fit and be quality. Other plumbers had told us that in order to fix the leaky tub faucet they would have to break through the wall behind the tub. Mastropiero however was able to do it without having to break wall or tile. The job they did is excellent and likely saved us some amount of money and headaches in subsequent repairs. All the jobs are working well and are very attractive. The three technicians who did the work were professional, friendly and polite, and willing to answer all questions. With all the work that houses require over the years, it is nice to be able to rely on a plumber. We will absolutely use them again."
"We needed to have an old deck removed and a new one installed to replace it. Carlos answered our Angi's request very quickly and came out to review the job. Within a few days we had a quote for the job. He listened to what we wanted and was able to begin the work within days. We had a new deck in five days. We are very satisfied with the quality of work and the look of our new deck. He was quick to resolve the one small problem we had by personally handling it. The placement of the deck around our pool posed some tricky problems but the solutions were expertly and beautifully completed. We would highly recommend JNG for your decking needs but also for any other work around your home. We will be using them again for other projects at our home."
"The process was very smooth. Sheerkahn arrived on time and completed the project same day just as they had indicated. They had to dig up the front yard to replace the leaky pipe with the new one, but did a good job filling in the trench. The team was very courteous and kept us informed on the progress. Also showed us exactly where the leak was coming from."
Smaller, pondless water features like bird baths, self-contained fountains, and bubbling rocks are much lower maintenance than their counterparts that include ponds. Pondless features help you avoid high pond maintenance costs and allow you to spend more time enjoying the water feature and less time on upkeep.
You have several options for your pond by getting your yard ready for the winter. You can winterize your koi pond by ensuring it’s at least 5 feet deep so it doesn’t freeze completely, installing a pond heater or aerator and having it run at all times, and installing a deicer if temperatures are dangerously low for an extended period. You can also choose to shut down your pond for the winter by removing all the wildlife in it and bringing it indoors, cleaning out the filter and pump, and then covering the pond with a tarp.
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.
To maintain your pond, you’ll need to occasionally clean your backyard pond, especially if you have koi fish. Test the water twice a week to make sure your fish have everything they need and always remove visible debris.
Most pond installations take 3-10 days, depending on excavation, liner placement, and filtration setup.
