Welcome

Every December many families celebrate the season at home by decorating a beautiful Christmas tree while the spicy glow of their fireplace crackles along with Bing Crosby crooning out the lyrics to ‘White Christmas’. There’s only one problem - it’s really hard to find good quality Christmas trees these days, especially in town. The Pond Clinic has a solution to help protect this treasured holiday tradition, by offering you and your family the best quality balsam fir trees, garland, and wreaths available.

Busy little elves are quickly transforming The Pond Clinic into a winter wonderland for the Grand Opening of our Christmas Tree Nursery on November 22nd.

This holiday season, drop by The Pond Clinic with your family, and enjoy a FREE hot chocolate to help warm your toes while you pick out your best Christmas tree ever.

Design

Properly designed water features work in perfect harmony with nature, in eco-equilibrium with the surrounding environment. They are clean, worry-free, and require little maintenance, leaving you more time to sit back, relax and enjoy the water garden lifestyle you work so hard to create.

Sadly, 80% of all water gardens get rebuilt at some point because of poor planning, lack of technical knowledge, and inappropriate materials selection. Our goal is to help you avoid that first “disaster pond’.

Whether you’re looking to install a pretty little backyard decorative feature or create a full scale commercial pond, when we design your aquascape with you, install it with confidence. It will be designed right – the first time.

Installation

Water feature installations, when done right, require the convergence of a multitude of talents. A pond installer is part artist, part engineer, part ecologist, and part landscaper; all supported by the rock-hauling strength of an ox. So you should ask yourself - are you the real handy type, or are you the kind of person who would rather go get Timmies for the crew and enjoy watching them work on your water garden?

Some water features can be installed by a homeowner in as little as 3 hours. Others can take up to 3 to 6 weeks – even with a professional, experienced crew and heavy equipment. This section will help you determine which water feature is right for you and keep you from getting into a big hole – and an unfinished pond.

Maintenance

Some people derive great joy from maintaining their water gardens. While others, not so much. The beautiful part about adhering to the ecosystem philosophy is the fact that Aquascape water features require very little maintenance at all. However, sooner or later you will need to do a little water garden housekeeping.

Whether you decide to do it yourself or hire us, this section will guide you through the basics and give you the information you will need to keep your water feature looking fantastic and running smoothly all year long.
