"Christian is a responsible and hard-working individual, showed up on time and the finished project is amazing. I had a Koi pond already installed. He removed it and install the new one. It is 1000% better than the original pond three tier waterfall with lights. It is larger than the original, and has steps inside, so I can place water plants throughout. He instructed me how to balance out and maintain my water, which was very helpful, my Koi were very stressed and had algae growth on them. I did not have to isolate them. The new water and chemical balance is doing a fine job healing them I have already placed an order for some lily pads from him. He will be by soon to drop them off and have a chat. If he ever needs any references, I will gladly help him out."

Fountains questions, answered by experts

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.

While they’re popular and have a lot of pros, the cons of river rocks include the following:

  • River rocks don’t break down or provide nutrients to plants. 

  • These stones can get hot and scorch nearby plants. 

  • River stones may heat the surrounding soil to inhospitable temperatures. 

  • Rocks can block rainwater from seeping into the ground if installations are too thick or tightly packed.

Most downsides occur when using river rock as mulch in gardens and flower beds. However, you can still incorporate river rocks into your landscape as long as you use them in the correct ways.

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.

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.

Small ponds can be drained and filled in about a day. Larger ponds will take two or three days for professional removal.
