Peace, Flow, & Life Around Every Pond
The Secret to a Living, Breathing Pond
A thriving pond isn’t just water and stone — it’s a living ecosystem where every plant, fish, and microbe plays a part. As expert pond contractors, we design with nature’s balance in mind, creating self-sustaining environments that feed, shelter, and protect the life within.
The Waterfall
The BIOFALLS Filter releases water back into the pond through a concealed system that creates a natural-looking waterfall—available in designs ranging from gentle streams to classic cascading falls.
Aquatic Plants
Aquatic plants are essential to a healthy pond ecosystem—they outcompete algae for nutrients, boost oxygen levels, and keep the water clear and balanced for fish and wildlife.
Fish
Fish are vital to a balanced pond ecosystem—adding beauty and movement while naturally controlling mosquitoes and completing the harmony that defines a true koi pond.
Rocks and Gravel
Adding gravel to a pond protects the liner from UV damage, supports beneficial bacteria, and enhances the pond’s natural appearance.
Skimmer
The Skimmer Filter captures large debris in an easy-to-clean basket while housing the pump that circulates water back to the BIOFALLS Filter for continuous filtration.

Frequently asked questions
Schedule a consultationHow long does pond installation take?
Depends on size & complexity — small ponds might take a couple of weeks; elaborate ponds with waterfalls or streams, fish, lighting, etc., may take longer.
What aquatic plants or fish are suitable for ponds here?
Plants include submerged oxygenators, floating lilies, marginal grasses/irises. Fish typically include Koi, Comets; selection depends on pond size, depth, shade/sun, filtration.
What is the difference between a pond and a pondless water feature?
