faq's
Our average pond takes about one week to complete. We prefer to start our pond projects on a Monday. If everything goes smoothly, your pond will be finished, and you can enjoy it during the upcoming weekend.
We are all about honesty, and this is what we want you to expect.
The first couple of days are the really hectic ones. You might start doubting if this makes sense. It will seem like a bomb exploded and all you’ll see is a big hole, a pile of dirt, pallets of boulders, rocks, and gravel.
The next stage is installing the liner and components. A big mess is, to be honest, the proper word to describe what you’ll see. Now, it’s a black hole with a black piece of liner covering it, and it might seem like the whole area has increased in depth and length. “How in the world will they be able to make this look anything like the pictures they have?” are some of the phrases our clients thought around this stage.
Rocking the pond, things start to have some form, and you start to understand why we have so many materials and all sorts of sizes. Still, our clients may think there are wrinkles in the liner and some boulders here and there, but at the same time, they start realizing how physical our projects are.
Attaching components and doing semi-finishing touches, this is the stage where you start gaining back your backyard, and you see that all or most of the materials are in the pond. It still looks a little messy, and the liner is still showing, but we need to test all lines and water flow at this stage. This is to ensure all is ready and flows as we expect.
Final finishes. The exposed liner gets covered, rocks are washed, and lights are tested. This is actually the fastest part of the process but the most rewarding. At the final stage, the waterfall is running, and you’ll be able to enjoy your pond.
Once completed, we’ll go over all the things you need to know about your pond and the weekly maintenance you have to do which should take no more than an hour, how to properly care for your pond, cleaning, fish feeding, etc.
All ponds are different and there is no way of knowing how your pond will behave, In Some of our ponds in one week the water will be almost crystal clear and stay like that after throughout the whole season, most will clear up but start turning green or brownish, don’t panic your pond is a living ecosystem and need some time for all components to work, bacteria to establish, fish and plants to acclimate, etc.
