We will work with you every step of the way in the design and construction of your new pond!
Some things to consider..
What type of pond you want installed? What type of aquatic life do you want in the pond? Is it going to be a home for goldfish or koi? Or is your main concern for the aquatic plants? Perhaps you only want the pond for the sound of a waterfall?
Each type of pond will need to be planned for its specific features. Remember a small pond limits the type of and number of fish and plants you can add.
KOI POND
A koi pond is different from a water garden because koi limit the amount of plant life available to be grown. Simply put: koi eat some plants. Koi ponds should also be larger because koi get quite large despite the size of the pond. It is recommended that a koi ponds be no less than 1000 gallons in volume, the bigger the better. There should also be an area of pond at least 3 feet deep, 4 - 5 feet is even better. Koi are able to winter over in Idaho.
WATER GARDEN
A Water garden typically contains both goldfish and a variety of aquatic plants. Water gardens in moderate climates usually need for an area of the pond to be at least 2 feet deep. Colder climates require a depth to provide at least 12" to 16" of water below the freeze zone.
After we have determined the kind, size, shape, design, features, cost of the pond and equipment, you will receive a written bid. Before any construction of the pond begins we require 50% down and the balance paid on completion of the pond.
