Pond Construction Services

For the first decade, our focus was solely on designing and building exquisite koi ponds and water features. This specialization allowed us to master the art and science of pond creation, from the intricate details of water flow to the perfect placement of aquatic plants. Over time, our appreciation for the beauty and functionality of landscapes grew, leading us to expand our services beyond just water features.

Types of Pond Construction

Pond construction involves several key methods and materials, each contributing to the overall aesthetic and functionality of your pond. Here’s a look at the various options we offer:
Straight Sides
Traditional pond design with vertical sides for a clean, modern look
Sloped Sides
Ideal for naturalistic ponds, sloped sides create a more gradual transition from water to land
Stepped Sides
This design features a series of terraces or steps, adding visual interest and creating diverse habitats for aquatic life.

Preferred Materials and Methods

EPDM Rubber Liners
We prefer using EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber liners for our pond constructions. EPDM liners are cost-effective, flexible, and easy to work with. When properly designed and installed, EPDM liners can outlast you, providing a durable and reliable foundation for your pond. This material’s flexibility allows it to adapt to various shapes and depths, ensuring a perfect fit for any pond design.

Concrete Options

While less commonly used in our projects, concrete pond construction can include:
Concrete with Plaster
Offers a smooth, finished look.
Concrete with Polyurea
Provides a seamless, waterproof coating.
Concrete Paint
Adds a decorative finish to concrete ponds.
Each method has its advantages, but we find that EPDM rubber liners often provide the best balance of cost, flexibility, and durability.

Construction Techniques

Proper pond construction goes beyond simply digging a hole and placing a liner. Here’s what you need to know:
MORE ABOUT US
Rock Placement
Each rock must be carefully placed to support the next and highlight its best features. Improperly placed rocks can shift and settle, leading to an unappealing appearance and potential maintenance issues.
Quality Materials
Using high-quality materials and components is essential. For example, cheap tubing can lead to issues with water flow, and round rocks may end up settling at the bottom of the pond if not correctly installed
Soil Compaction
Properly compacting the soil under waterfalls and streams prevents settling and leaks, ensuring long-term stability and functionality.

Choosing the Right Contractor

Research is crucial when hiring a pond construction professional. Here are some tips:
Verify Experience
Look for contractors with a proven track record in pond construction. Request to see their past work either in person or through photos to gauge their expertise and style.
Check Credentials
Ensure the contractor is licensed. While this option may not be the cheapest, it provides protection for both you and the contractor, ensuring that the job is done correctly and to code.
Read Reviews
Customer reviews and testimonials can provide insight into the contractor’s reliability and the quality of their work.
