How long does it typically take to construct a pond?

The time it takes to build a pond depends on its size and the condition of your land. A small backyard pond might take a week or two, while a larger farm pond could take a month or more. We'll give you a timeline estimate after we check out your property.

Do I need any permits to build a pond on my property in Ohio?

Yes, you usually need permits to build a pond in Ohio. The exact permits depend on your location and the pond's size. Don't worry, though – we know the rules and can help you get the right permits.

How much does it cost to build a pond?

Pond costs vary a lot based on size, features, and your land. A small decorative pond might cost a few thousand dollars, while a large farm pond could cost tens of thousands. We'll give you a detailed estimate after we look at your property and discuss your needs.

Can you build a pond in any type of soil?

While we can work with most soil types, some are better than others for ponds. Clay soil is great because it holds water well. Sandy or rocky soil might need extra work. We'll check your soil during our first visit and let you know if any special steps are needed.

How do I maintain my pond after it's built?

Pond maintenance isn't too hard, but it's important. You'll need to keep the water clean, manage plants and algae, and maybe run equipment like pumps or aerators. We'll show you how to do all this when we finish your pond, and we're always here if you have questions later.

Will my pond attract mosquitoes or other pests?

A well-built and maintained pond shouldn't be a mosquito magnet. Moving water and fish help keep mosquitoes away. We can suggest other ways to prevent pests too, like certain plants or treatments that are safe for your pond life.

How deep should my pond be?

Pond depth depends on what you're using it for. A fish pond should be at least 8 feet deep in some spots so fish can survive winter. Swim ponds are often 8-10 feet deep. Decorative ponds can be shallower. We'll help you figure out the right depth for your needs.

Can you incorporate features like waterfalls or fountains into my pond?

Absolutely! We love adding special features to ponds. Waterfalls and fountains not only look great, but they also help keep your water moving and healthy. We can design and build these features to fit your style and budget.
