Recreational ponds

Designed with intention, a pond becomes more than a water feature. It becomes a living focal point that transforms how the landscape is experienced.

Our approach to recreational ponds

Step 01

Imagine & Plan

We start by understanding how you envision using your pond—swimming, relaxing, entertaining, or creating a habitat for fish and wildlife. Our designers then create a custom plan that blends seamlessly with your landscape and lifestyle.

Step 02

Build with Precision

Our experienced crews build with precision using natural stone, premium liners, and eco-conscious filtration systems. We shape each pond to feel like it belongs in your landscape—not just placed in it.

Step 03

Water Quality & Long-Term Enjoyment

We install low-maintenance, eco-friendly systems to keep your pond clean, balanced, and healthy. After installation, we guide you on upkeep so you can enjoy your pond with confidence for years to come.

What’s the difference between a recreational pond and a traditional koi pond?

A recreational pond is larger, deeper, and designed for human interaction—like swimming or wading. It’s built for both beauty and function, using natural filtration systems and carefully balanced ecosystems. Koi ponds are typically smaller, more ornamental, and focused on aesthetics and aquatic life rather than recreation.

How do you keep a recreational pond clean and clear?

We design with filtration, circulation, and aquatic plants in mind—creating a natural balance that minimizes algae and supports clear, healthy water. With proper system planning and seasonal care, the pond stays beautiful and swimmable without harsh chemicals or high-maintenance upkeep.
