Project description
I want to add a small decorative pond with a waterfall to my backyard and I'm looking for an experienced landscaper to handle the whole installation. The idea is a natural-looking water feature near the patio, roughly 6 by 8 feet, with a flexible rubber liner, a submersible pump, a biological filter box hidden behind the rockwork, and a short waterfall cascading over stacked stone into the main basin. I'd like the edges finished with flat fieldstone and a mix of aquatic plants — water lilies, iris, and some floating oxygenators — so it looks established rather than freshly dug.
Beyond digging the hole and setting the liner, I need help with the plumbing for the pump and skimmer, safe outdoor electrical wiring to a GFCI outlet, and grading so runoff doesn't pool near the house foundation. I'm open to suggestions on depth for winter hardiness in my climate and would appreciate guidance on which plants and fish, if any koi, the size can realistically support. Please bring your own tools and equipment; I'll clear the work area beforehand and can supply water for filling once everything is set.
Requirements:
— Licensed and insured landscaper with prior pond and water-feature installations, references or photos of completed projects
— Fixed quote covering liner, pump, filter, rock, and plants, itemized so I know what's included
— Realistic timeline and a plan for disposing of the excavated soil
— Basic winterization advice and a walkthrough of maintenance once the pond is finished
