"They check them twice a month during the summer. They treat the ponds for algae, clear debris, and take care of the weeds in the water. We’ve used them for years and will continue to."

"They did a fine job with the work. The pump install wasn't ideal (the pipe was exposed above the water level when it should've been below, etc), but the pond was cleaned as expected. The trouble, as my "grade" indicates, was with the company's responsiveness. We were on a tight time schedule (putting the house on the market) and I was grateful that Jake had time in his schedule to come out and give us an estimate and was going to be able to get the work done quickly. Unfortunately, he missed the estimate appointment. He had it written down on the wrong day. That was frustrating when I was waiting in an empty house on a morning I took off work, but it happens & it's forgivable. Jake was courteous and professional when he did arrive. He said the estimate would be emailed that evening, but when it didn't arrive for a few days I emailed him and he then got me the estimate. Again, forgivable, but added to the missed appointment, I almost didn't use them. I needed the work done quickly and without a hassle. At the estimate he'd said they could get the work done before the weekend, but then weren't able to schedule it until a few days later (because, I think, he hadn't accounted for giving the pump time to arrive). Eventually, he did send his team (two guys who did the work while I wasn't there) & they did a fine job.
I've found that "pond guys" tend to have a very relaxed attitude toward the business side of their businesses. Jake did not prove me wrong. In the end, they did a fine job with a task that I didn't want to do myself. I'm happy with the work. But if we weren't selling the house, I might keep searching for the perfect pond person -- or I might just make sure I wasn't in a rush to get things done.

"Mike contacted me quickly and came out to give me an estimate within a day. I had my estimate the next day and his crew was able to complete the job by the weekend. His crew was courteous and very competent. I would highly recommend marsh Landscaping for other projects and, in fact, i plan to have Mike return in the spring to complete some landscaping for me."

"We could not be happier with the work that JD Lindsay did. Their craftsmanship is impeccable, and they were wonderful people to be around. Darren Lindsay, the owner, came out and designed the work that was to be done. As the project went on, he was creative in changing the plan to make it a better fit for our home and our needs. He did not charge us a single penny over for the changes he made, and I'm sure the changes were more expensive. I would highly recommend Darren to anyone who is looking at adding a patio or deck to their home. As far as contractors go, he was one of the best I have ever worked with. Communication was outstanding - he answered every single call I made to his cell phone. He was clear and concise throughout the whole project and really came through to have this completed by a deadline we had for our son's 2nd birthday."

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.
Every one to three months, you should perform regular fountain maintenance, including draining, cleaning, and rinsing the components of your fountain basin and the pump and tubing to prevent algae and other buildup. Fountain maintenance also includes keeping the appropriate water level and removing debris like leaves, insects, and twigs from the water to avoid clogging the pump. You can also hire a professional landscaper to clean your fountain for around $50 to $150 per month on average.
Most water features do not use a lot of electricity, averaging between 100 and 250 watts per day. The size of the motor can impact electricity usage. To reduce electricity usage, consider using a timer to turn the fountain off at night and when you’re away from your home. Solar power is another way to defray electricity costs after you recoup the cost of installing the solar components.
You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features.
Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:
Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100
Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000
Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000
Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000
Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
