LET’S WORK

Why Choose Us?

We believe that education is the key to a successful project. Unfortunately, many homeowners fall victim to "contractors" who arrive in their flashy trucks, promise the moon, quote a seemingly reasonable price, and walk away with a signed contract. What homeowners don’t realize is that these poorly constructed ponds can end up costing them thousands of dollars extra each year.

Why, you ask? Because these ponds may require costly annual draining and cleaning, frequent replacement of filter media, or inefficient equipment that either needs replacement within 5-10 years or is too expensive to run continuously.

At So-Cal Ponds, our goal is to provide you with comprehensive information from the moment you contact us. We take the time to explain our construction methods and goals for your pond, ensuring you understand how we create durable and efficient water features. Scheduling a design consultation with our team will be a valuable investment, helping you avoid the pitfalls of subpar pond construction.

  I had requested service to service our Koi pond, which Victor had done. He was on time and asked questions about what was wrong.  After discussing he knew exactly what to do.

The waterfall is now working properly and other maintenance items were addressed and fixed.

We highly recommend So Cal Ponds to anyone and Victor for doing a great job.

  Marie at the front desk is great!  She listened to my needs, questions and requests, happily providing info and suggestions..

Thank you so much for having Victor as an employee.

I was very impressed with his expertise, knowledge, and efficiency.
He took great care to make sure that the pump and filtration in the koi pond would work at its best.
He was very patient to answer all my concerns and questions. He provided simple explanations as to the system function and use.

I appreciated his politeness, cheerful attitude, and how obvious it is that he enjoys his work and takes pride in what he does.

I look forward to a long relationship with your company!

  Dominic is simply the best - I couldn't be happier with his overhaul of my backyard.  His team is professional - they showed up when promised and worked hard.  Throughout the whole project, Dominic was extremely responsive to any texts or calls.  I feel like he treated my yard as if it was his own.  I wish all contractors had the same work ethic as So Cal Ponds!

  We couldn’t have been happier with so cal ponds. Dominic and his crew built us an amazing pondless water feature and fire pit. I have never seen a crew spend so much time to get every detail right and I really appreciate that. They were always very reliable and professional. I believe no matter what I asked them to do it would have turned out great. They took a very difficult part of my yard and we’re still able to create just what we wanted, and honestly way more than I imagined possible. We now have a spot to relax day and night and it feels like we are camping by a creek in the Sierras. Thank you again Dominic for all you have done!

  Thank you So-Cal Ponds for fixing my leak and making my pond better than when I bought this place. I recently bought my Monrovia home which came with a gorgeous pond, koi and turtles. Sadly it soon started to lose a lot of water. After researching options, I chose So-Cal Ponds and couldn’t be happier. Not only did they quickly identify the problem and get me a quote but they got me scheduled and the job done in no time. The two men who did the work came with appropriate PPE and very nice. They showed me pics of the problem and had the pond rebuilt in a few hours. They even added extra rocks to make it work and look better. I highly recommend So-Cal Ponds.

  This company is more than just for ponds.  They offer all landscape services and are incredibly knowledgable about landscaping, the environment, plant life and more.  I didn't quite know what I needed but the owner pointed me in the right direction.  His staff is helpful and good workers.  I was pleased with their work ethic and how they ensured things were tidy at the end of each day.  My yard looks so much better since it received care from So-Cal Ponds and I plan on using them for more services in the future.

  So-Cal Ponds turned my C rated pond to an A+ rated pond and I love it. Dominic is great, truly knowledgable about ponds, and also lighting and irrigation. He actually helped me save money by correcting the existing pond system (adding a skimmer and redoing the whole thing as it was losing water before) and also finding and fixing the source of a major water leak that turned out to be the pipe connecting to my outdoor sink!
