What it is, and why it works.
A pond turns a backyard into a habitat. Water lilies, ferns and hostas at the edge, a waterfall tumbling over limestone and the flash of koi make a living landscape that changes through the day and across the seasons. It is a place to sit, to watch, to listen and to bring kids and grandkids.
The secret to a pond that stays clear is design: proper depth, skimmers and biological filtration, balanced plants and a stream or waterfall that aerates the water. We build to the natural look of Middle Tennessee, using local stone and native plants, and we show you how to care for it through all four seasons.

Ponds & Waterfalls: common questions
How much work is a pond?
A well-designed pond needs weekly checks and a seasonal clean-out. We teach you the routine.
Will koi survive our winters?
Yes, in a pond deep enough with some aeration to keep a gas exchange hole open.
