Services
Pond Installation
We design and install custom water gardens that mimic natural ecosystems. Our ponds feature aquatic plants, koi fish habitats, and integrated filtration systems. Each installation uses natural materials to create seamless landscape integration while maintaining low-maintenance functionality for Michigan homeowners.
Pondless Waterfalls
Our disappearing waterfalls create dramatic visual impact without requiring large water bodies. These self-contained systems recirculate water through underground reservoirs. Ideal for smaller spaces, they provide soothing water sounds while maintaining safe, child-friendly designs in Michigan backyards.
Pond Maintenance
We offer comprehensive maintenance programs including algae control, filter cleaning, and winterization services. Our technicians perform professional cleanings twice yearly to preserve ecosystem balance. We also provide leak detection and repair services to maintain optimal water feature performance throughout Michigan's changing seasons.
Rainwater Harvesting
Our RainXchange systems capture and store rainwater for landscape irrigation. These installations reduce municipal water usage while preventing runoff issues. The systems integrate naturally with existing water features, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits for Michigan properties.
Pond Renovations
We restore aging water features to like-new condition. Our renovations address structural issues, update filtration systems, and refresh landscaping elements. We specialize in repairing damage from improper installation or seasonal neglect, extending the lifespan of existing pond systems across West Michigan.

These guys are simply the best. Chris is a CAC (Certified Aquascape Contractor) meaning they have completed the highest level of training and certification available in the professional pond installation industry (And won contractor of the year awards). We have had the privilege of working together in the past. Very professional! Looking for a water garden installer, I can highly recommend them!
