Discover why water is the heart of the garden

All of our Ecosystem Ponds are built with Industry-Leading products that work with nature to create a Chemical-Free, fully functioning ecosystem. All ponds are dug to an initial tiered 24” depth and include all necessary plumbing, filters, rock, and materials.

How do our Ecosystem Ponds work?

The skimmer houses your pump. As water is pulled in, larger debris is caught in an easy-to-remove basket before it can fall to the bottom and decompose. This relatively clean water is delivered to the pump, where it’s pumped up to your Biofalls.

Entering the Biofalls, the water bubbles up through a layer of filter media, called Bio-Balls, where beneficial bacteria colonize. These naturally aid in the exchange of nitrogen and keep your water clean and healthy!

The water filters up through the BioFalls until the basin is full. It then pours out, starting your waterfall and cascading back into your pond to restart the cycle!

Aquatic plants and animals not only offer hours of natural entertainment for the family, it helps keep your pond healthy. Winning!

When installing aquatic plants, it’s important to use planter bags. This ensures they don’t spread beyond control and cause unnecessary maintenance. In extreme cases, if left unattended this can cause leaks, wrap around rocks and boulders, and clog your filtration system.

Planter Bags

We offer Pond Rescues for managing invasive vegetation. If you have a pre-existing pond that’s been taken over by invasive plants, we’re here to help!
