What We Do To Build Your Water Garden

Installing a water garden takes time and planning. We work with the homeowner to determine the best location for the water feature and give you our professional, unbiased opinion. Upon completion of your design, you'll be ready to have your piece of paradise installed! 


Beyond building your water garden, we are dedicated to making the process as seamless as possible for you. An expert from ProudPonds will conduct onsite surveys and assessments as needed. After the deposit is paid, the construction schedule will be determined.



When necessary, ProudPonds will seek client approval before making any budget adjustments or structural or design changes.

We want to make sure you are 100% satisfied, so we help you from beginning to end!

Water Garden Maintenance

If you own a water garden, you will have to do some maintenance to keep it in top condition. Our seasonal services include spring start-up, fall clean-up, and winter shutdown.


When you choose the right amount of fish and plants, add bacteria regularly, and keep the water garden clean, you can enjoy your water feature all year round.  Our water garden maintenance technicians are professional and detail-oriented. You can count on us to get the job done right!


We are always voted #1 for pond maintenance by our customers! Give us a call today and we'll show you why.
