Let us tell you a quick story about our client Ron. We had just installed a waterfall in his front yard when he invited us back to discuss another project. Over coffee, Ron chuckled and said, “Mike, you won’t believe this. We had guests last weekend, and they were convinced the waterfall was a natural part of the property when we bought the house!”

For most new pond owners, the best place to start is with an exploratory drain and clean. This allows us to fully assess the pond’s condition, check for hidden issues, and remove any accumulated sludge, debris, or decaying organic matter. A deep clean is often the key to turning an overgrown, neglected pond into a beautiful, functioning water feature. The videos at the top of this page showcase what is typically lurking in a neglected pond!
Inherited fish can be a fun surprise, but they need the right care! Make sure the pump and aeration system are working to keep oxygen levels up. For feeding, wait until the water temperature is consistently above 50°F before offering food in the spring. If you’re unsure about fish care, let us know—we can help guide you on best practices.
