Turning Backyard Dreams Into Amazing Ponds

Common Questions About Pond Building

The cost of building a pond can vary widely based on its size, features, and materials. Typically, ponds range from $8,000 to several hundred thousand dollars. Most homeowners spend between $14,000 and $30,000, with the average pond costing around $16,000. We’ll work with you to find the right design and budget to meet your needs.
A well-built and maintained pond can last for decades. The foundation materials typically last over 30 years before needing any major replacements.
No, a well-built pond is very water-efficient. Once filled, it maintains its level with only occasional top-offs to compensate for evaporation. Proper design helps to minimize water usage while ensuring a thriving ecosystem.
The timeline for building a pond depends on its size and complexity. On average, most pond projects take about two weeks to complete. We’ll provide you with a detailed schedule and keep you updated every step of the way.

That’s an excellent question and I know it’s hard to choose the right contractor when everyone promises the moon.

Having been a part of this community my entire life, I want to honor the people that are part of it by delivering a high-quality service without any compromises.

If you’re looking for a contractor who cares deeply about your project, respects your home, and upholds his promises, we should talk.

Your pond will require regular maintenance to stay healthy and beautiful. Typically, weekly or biweekly maintenance is enough to keep everything in great shape. During installation, we take steps to make ongoing upkeep as easy as possible for you.

I had a fantastic experience with Superior Ponds! From the first consultation, they were incredibly communicative and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout.

The work they did was top-notch, and what I appreciated most was their thorough explanations at every stage of the process. I highly recommend Superior Ponds to anyone looking for quality pond services.

Ben was great. He was able to scheduled a spring cleaning in a few days. Our pond is the cleanest it’s ever been. He moved some of the boulders around for a more attractive pond. Our 9 koi fish love the space. They are super active compared to before. 

The price is worth it and reasonable. We purchased the basic package for spring clean up and winterization in the fall. I think it’s a great value and will save us a lot of time trying to do it ourselves. 

He is very responsive when we text or call with questions. He’s very knowledgeable and has helped us improve our ecosystem for a healthier pond and koi life.

Ben is the sweetest! He helped diagnose some waterfall issues we were having over the phone and was so kind and helpful. 

He was knowledgeable, patient, and it was clear that he cared about us. I should also mention, he was totally right without even seeing it in person!

Could not recommend more!
