A design that prevents problems later
The best ponds don’t happen by accident — they’re designed. A good plan makes the feature feel natural in the landscape, keeps water moving correctly, and avoids chronic problems like poor circulation, undersized filtration, or hard-to-service equipment.
Ready to build? Our design work flows directly into pond construction.
Designed for the way you’ll use it
A great pond is placed for viewing, sound, and daily enjoyment. We plan seating views, pathways, and how the feature fits your landscaping.
Water quality is engineered, not guessed
Filtration, circulation, and plumbing layout drive clarity and fish health. We design systems that hold up after the “day one” sparkle fades.
Fewer surprises during the build
The plan reduces rework and budget creep by clarifying materials, elevations, liner/edge details, and critical penetrations before construction begins.
Our Pond Design Process
Site & goal discovery
We start with your goals (koi pond, water garden, stream, pondless waterfall) and evaluate space, sun/wind, access, and utilities.
Concept + layout planning
We map placement, elevations, views, and sound (where you’ll hear the waterfall) so the feature feels natural in your yard and lifestyle.
Filtration + plumbing design
Right-sizing pumps, skimmers, biofalls, and circulation prevents chronic algae, reduces maintenance, and supports fish health.
Build-ready scope
You get a clear plan that translates into execution: equipment choices, materials, and a build approach that’s reliable and serviceable.
