DID YOU KNOW?
The Industry is plagued by 80% Failure Rate on first-year ponds.
A lamentable fact in the industry is that 40% of the ponds and waterscapes built by both professionals and amateurs do not ever function properly. And another 40% that do work initially stop working in less than a year after installation. Why the high failure rate?
The problem arises when professionals who have knowledge of one industry cross over into another that they know little about. Pond design and installation requires knowledge of water chemistry and quality, flow rates, bacteriology, aquatic botany, ecological balance, pump sizing, filter capacities, construction methodologies, and much more.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Dave. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about his product and installation. We were very comfortable with giving Dave the creative license to design our spectacular water feature within our budget. He took at lot of time with us and was careful to make sure everything was done to perfection."
