Backyard-KOI Pond Installation

Ponds are ecosystems, in that they play host to a total interrelationship of all organisms in the environment– birds, fish, frogs, plants, and many microscopic organisms. Thus, ponds not only create a natural ecosystem in their defined environment, but they also fit into the community or life cycle of not just one homeowner’s back yard, but of the entire ecological region. An ecosystem pond works with Mother Nature to provide food, shelter, and safety to the wildlife around it. It also provides you with an all-natural, low-maintenance piece of paradise. But few pond builders have a true sense of the art of construction and creation it takes to make your pond look real and function properly. The Pond Monster, servicing the Winter Haven, Orlando, Tampa & Kissimmee, Central Florida area, takes care to hand-pick boulders complete with moss and lichen. We know the art of rock placement to complete a natural look. And we also know how to properly filter your pond, so it will stay clear and be low maintenance.

Location and size are the two most important decisions you’ll make about your water features in Central Florida. By some estimates, 90 percent of the original water gardens sold are replaced later with larger ones. An enthusiastic pond hobbyist always finds new plants or interesting fish to add to their investment. As a general rule, a 180 square-foot, or 11′ x 16′ pond, is a good “standard” size water feature. Trace your prospective pond out on the ground with a garden hose to help you visualize what the finished size will be.
