How Our Team Works in Salt Lake City
Planning & Site Selection
We walk your property with you to identify the best position, discuss water and power accessibility, examine the soil, and review how the pond integrates with the landscape and climate of Utah.
Design, Layout & Permits
We determine and finalize the size, depth, and shape of the pond, outline its footprint, and address the necessary permits and utility locations to streamline construction.
Excavation & Shaping
Our team excavates the basin and forms the necessary slopes, benches, and shelves, compacts the subgrade, and constructs dikes or berms while preserving the surrounding features.
Plumbing & Infrastructure
We set up the bottom drains, skimmers, return lines, and spillway plumbing, configuring the elevations and routes of the pipes for effective circulation and drainage of the system in the long run.
Underlayment & Liner
We prepare the subgrade and install a durable underlayment and liner system to protect the pond from soil movement, rock damage, and Utah's freeze-thaw cycles.
Rockwork, Waterfalls & Features
We build natural-looking stream beds, waterfalls, pond edges, and other rock features while keeping pumps, filters, and service points accessible.
Backfilling & Landscape Tie-In
After the rockwork and liner are complete, we smooth the backfill around the pond and prepare the area around it for landscaping.
Filling, Startup & Testing
We fill the pond and monitor the water levels to check for leaks while starting the pumps and filtration to ensure proper water flow.
Plants, Fish & Training
While the pond is operational, we place the plants and review the guidelines for fish to ensure you know how to maintain a healthy pond.
