New builds, restorations, and full removals of ponds in South Monroe.
Whether your South Monroe property needs a new koi pond, a decorative pond restored back to clear water, or an old feature removed and the yard graded flat, our crew handles the excavation, liner, plumbing, and finish work.
Decorative ponds are a category most contractors won't touch, too small for the big landscape firms that focus on commercial water features, too complex for general handyman work, and too niche for most residential landscape shops. We fill the gap: new pond builds, restorations of existing ponds that have fallen behind, and complete removals when the pond no longer fits how you use the yard.
Every pond decision is a long-term one. A pond you build today shapes 20+ years of yard use, where you sit, what you plant nearby, and how you spend maintenance time. We help you decide what's actually right for the property before quoting a build. Sometimes the honest answer is 'a smaller fountain would give you what you want with a fraction of the upkeep.'
For restorations, we start with an honest assessment: is the liner salvageable, is the filtration properly sized, is the pond in the right place. Sometimes restoration is the right call and sometimes rebuild-in-place is actually cheaper long-term.
For removals, often the request we get most, we drain, remove the liner and equipment, backfill correctly with proper compaction, and regrade so the site becomes usable lawn or garden bed again with no dip or settling later.
Koi ponds and decorative water gardens with proper liner, filtration, and edge treatment sized to the pond volume.
Existing pond cleaned out, re-lined if needed, filtration upgraded, and edges rebuilt where they've failed.
Fill and grade an existing pond back into usable landscape when it no longer fits how you use the yard.
Sized correctly for the volume and stocking level, not undersized to save cost, which is why so many existing ponds struggle.
Rock, boulders, or planted edges built so the liner never shows and the pond reads as intentional.
New builds are properly cycled and treated before stock goes in so first-round fish don't die from ammonia spike.
If a pond isn't the right answer for your property, we'll say so. Fountains and self-contained water features often fit better.
Proper compaction and regrade after a removal so you don't get a settling depression a year later.
Yes, but volume and filtration have to match the stocking level. Small koi ponds are possible but koi outgrow small ponds, goldfish scale better.
New builds are lower-maintenance than most existing ponds because filtration is sized right from day one. Expect weekly checks in summer, minimal in winter.
Yes, pond removal and regrade is one of our most-requested services. Removal alone is a clean scope we quote flat.
Koi ponds can overwinter in place with a de-icer to keep an air hole open. Non-fish ponds get drained or continue running depending on depth and equipment.
Residential decorative ponds under a certain size and depth typically don't require permits. We check local requirements before starting.
Yes, waterfalls and spillways are a common restoration add-on. Requires extending the pump line and rebuilding a section of the edge.
EPDM rubber liner for most builds, 45 mil, fish-safe, decades of lifespan. Cheaper PVC liners are what fail in most existing ponds.
