"This company came highly recommended. They seem very knowledgable and environmentally conscious. We have been pleased with their work. There have been a couple of small things that are annoying. Once, the service provider called my cell phone and left a message, but never rang the bell. We were home and he could have saved us all significant effort. Another time, someone came out for a problem, but the work order did not detail the specific problem we had called about. Again, a small problem, but he wasted his time investigating something that was already being addressed and then having to refocus on the problem at hand. "
"Gary from Bluewater Pond Solutions was quick to respond, knowledgeable, made some excellent suggestions, and got the job done better than I had envisioned!"
"The experience went well. I had caulked the pavers to try and fix the drainage issue I was having with a paver patio along my house. Water was seeping through the top of the basement wall where the patio met the house. They were professional and went over the poject with me in detail and helped me determine the best way to solve the problem - installing lining and drainage tile to capture any surface water along the house. I had concerns about how the pipe would drain but after discussing it with Darren we agreed on the path of the pipe. The patio looks great and you can't tell anything was done to it. And, most impressive of all, was that they removed all of the caulking I had put on the pavers before putting them back - above and beyond my expectations. I would definately recommend using them."
"It went very well. Was happy with their work. Even replanted perennials that had come up after replacing topsoil in flower beds. Offered suggestion for problems I pointed and didn't know how to solve. Will hire again next year. Competitive price. Trimmed bushes were very well shaped."
"I worked with Brian on the design and materials (granite). He was solutions oriented and professional. Once they began the install, we discovered one of the walls was not true (straight). AHM came up with a solution and moved through the installation with little trouble. We are please with this addition to our basement. "
"This company is great! He put an immense French drain in for our sump pump. Very friendly and left everything in nice shape. We will definitely keep this company in mind if we ever need more work done."

Koi fish should be in the shade and can’t be directly exposed to the sun. Consider building your koi pond in a shaded spot or hanging an awning over the top to control the amount of sunlight coming in. Learn how to design a landscape properly.
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.
Fountain maintenance is an important part of having a clean foundation in the first place. To keep your fountain water clean, you can use a water additive designed specifically to limit scale, algae, and other buildup in fountains. Or opt to use white vinegar as a pantry-ready water additive.
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.
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.
