Where Water Becomes Your Outdoor Sanctuary

Your trusted pond contractor in Knoxville, bringing serenity and elegance to every landscape.

When Stillness Doesn’t Bring Peace

Many Knoxville homeowners imagine the gentle ripple of koi beneath lilies, or the hush of a backyard waterfall — but instead end up battling murky water, leaky liners, and endless upkeep. Too often, the dream fades not because the vision was wrong, but because the pond contractor was.

Ponds Built to Thrive — Not Just Impress

At Willow Ridge, we design and build ecosystem ponds that blend natural beauty with long-term balance. As Master Certified Aquascape experts, we combine natural stonework, filtration, aquatic plants, and climate-suitable fish to create thriving water gardens. Every pond is tailored to your landscape, with thoughtful hardscaping and drainage that ensure harmony between form and function—whether you dream of a lively koi pond or a tranquil, pondless feature.

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 consultation

  • How 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?

    A pond is deeper, supports fish, aquatic plants, and holds standing water. A pondless water feature focuses on movement and sound of water without a full basin — much lower maintenance, smaller footprint.

  • Do ponds require a lot of maintenance?

    With good design, yes it’s less work than many expect. Routine tasks include managing aquatic plants, cleaning filters and skimmers, preparing for winter, occasional cleanouts. Willow Ridge provides pond maintenance services. Willow Ridge Garden Center & Landscaping
