Koi Market is a top Pond construction company 100% dedicated to building dedicated koi ponds and water gardens. We install the most advanced pond filtration systems on the east coast and specialize in water quality. We've been featured on TV Shows including "Tanked" and "The LI Medium" and are proud members of the MAKC and ZNA Koi Clubs. We do some subcontracting for our projects including Swimming pools, Electrical, Masonry, decking.

"My pond was a mess with little visibility. My pump died on the first day of summer so I called KoiMart and Shawn said he'd be here the next day. Shawn gave me a fair quote and his crew, Travis, Justin and Anthony, got right to work. The fish were safely kept in a holding tank while the pond was emptied, cleaned and scrubbed. The new pump and filter were installed with the correct plumbing, fresh new water was added and chemically treated for compatibility and now I can see my fish right to the bottom of the pond. My waterfall is bigger and better too. They're expert, hard working and did what I asked and needed. I'll use them going forward. Highly recommended."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Generally, a trenchless sewer line is worth the cost. If your old system needs replacement, trenchless sewer repair or replacement can save you thousands on excavation costs. Every homeowner’s situation is different, but this method is definitely worth it in a lot of cases.
