"Pete was very professional from the very first phone call telling me what I would get and educated me on the whole eco system. Pete and Tom were so nice they created a beautiful pond and waterfall in an area of my yard that was an eyesore. I canâ t wait for spring to garden around the pond. So glad I didnâ t attempt to do this myself. I highly recommend Philapond . Thank you Pete and Tom !!!!!"

"These guys are great. Keith, the owner, came by and mapped out the whole thing. His vision was wonderfully creative and he was very responsive to what I wanted, while also giving me good advice. His workers were prompt, neat, and very easy to deal with. The finished product is gorgeous. I got to pick out my plants and they helped me find things that would grow well in the space without a lot of work. The workmanship on the patio, fence and steps is top notch. It was expensive, but the price was fair for all they did for me. I'm sure I increased the value of my home much more than I paid. I now have a beautiful backyard.

Fountains questions, answered by experts

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.

Consider the pros and cons of installing a water fountain in your backyard:

Pros

  • Fountains can add beauty to your backyard.

  • Creates a relaxing space to enjoy in your yard. 

  • Water features can add more value to your home.

Cons

  • Regular maintenance is necessary.

  • Upfront and maintenance costs can escalate quickly.

  • Space may not permit you to install the fountain you want.

Deep clean your koi pond at least once a year to keep your fish healthy and your pond in good shape. Water testing, debris removal, and partial water changes should be performed weekly. Seasonal professional service will ensure everything is clean and functioning properly.

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.

Though there are a lot of factors that go into caring for a koi pond, the most important maintenance you can do is frequent water checks using a koi pond test strip that checks the water for dangerous conditions.  In addition to regular pond maintenance costs, you’ll also need to winterize your koi pond if you live in a colder area.
