Nothing adds more to a home landscape than a waterfall and pond. Visitors are immediately drawn to the sound of running water. Once at the pond, the sights are captivating. The water cascades over rocks and splashes on to the calm pond surface below. Water lily pads and blossoms sway as they float effortlessly in the sunlight. Colorful fish play and look for food in rock crevices and around plants. The shallow end may have bullrush and iris growing stately and strong. A pond is it's own small world teeming with plant life and animals. Dragonflies, frogs, tadpoles, and water striders all go about their day and you get to observe.
I have been building ponds and waterfalls for over 20 years and have developed excellent construction skills as well as a deep sense of creativity. There are other people who put together water features, but I build them with a focused passion.
A well built waterfeature is an investment if done properly while a cheaply built pond is a lot of work and repair. Many times the owners of cheap ponds end up frustrated and fill them back in. I proudly stand behind my workmanship and creativity.
Below are links to some of the ponds I have built. Feel free to ask me any questions or to have me come by your home for a consultation. Larry

This is a stream and waterfall with a small pond. I was extra happy to do this project because of the natural slope of the land. Click on the photo to go to this project page.

This was a renovation. The old stone and pump system were re-used to complete a semi-formal water feature. Click the photo to see.

This is a small pond, they don't have to be big to be cool. The customers wanted a pond but had a small yard and didn't think they had room for one. I designed one to fit and used the existing shrubs as a backdrop. Click the photo to see.

This was an unusual pond. Most times ponds are constructed and then things are built around them.In this case there was already a pergola, tree, sidewalk and porch. I designed a pond to fit in the existing area. Click the photo to view.

This pond is a different type in that it has a wood frame. A waterfall can still be added, but the wood frame cuts the construction time down by two thirds. This saves money and makes the pond more affordable for those with a smaller budget.

Clicking this photo takes you to our personal ponds. The shoemaker doesn't have any shoes and the pond builder doesn't have any ponds, or at least none that are completed. Even so, you can take a look at what we have done this far.
