This Pond Project included removal of an existing small preformed pond located next to the back porch and deck area. We then installed a new properly filtered ecosystem pond with the waterfalls falling towards the large windows and patio area. The project also included installation of underwater LED lighting in the pond and stream for night time enjoyment as well as a bacteria dosing system which will aide in keeping the pond clear during the season. This Pond project was installed in Lancaster, PA.

This transformed lawn is now a vibrant native landscape. Pictured here are spring blooming sages, providing early nectar for pollinators.

This 40' long stream flows under a stone path like a gentle babbling brook and winds around a fire pit area.

Take a virtual tour through Jeff Duggins & Rachel A Duggins (Owners H2O Designs & Outdoor Living "By Design") backyard near Lexington, KY. There are 2 large ponds, multiple streams, waterfalls, and fountains, not to mention the fire pit and pool. It's truly a Backyard Oasis! photo by Jeff Duggins

This photo was taken a few days after the pond was filled. You can see how much more clear the water is here than in the previous photos. Also visible are the water lily and iris, joining the thalia, sweet flag, and creeping jenny. These plants look small now, but they will fill out and create a vibrant ecosystem without taking over the water.

Check out this amazing backyard pond with just about every feature you could ask for installed in Lancaster, PA. This project included a large ecosystem pond with tons of different features throughout. A small wetland filter begins the journey into the large ecosystem pond. One of the ponds most noticeable features is the two bubbling urn fountains. There is stepping-stones through the pond. The stepping-stones take you from the back patio through the pond to natural stone steps leading to the yard. A zero edge waterfall was installed at the edge of the pond leading to the stream. Drift wood was incorporated to soften and naturalize the look of the pond. This is typical protocol during our pond construction. The stream then flows underneath a large natural stone bridge. the bridge connects large steps leading to the patio area. on the other side of the bridge is a large natural stone stairway. After flowing underneath the bridge the water enters the grand falls. This large multiple tier waterfall is quite breathtaking. This is just another example of what sets C.E. Pontz Sons apart from the competition. The final waterfalls then disappear into a pondless waterfall basin. The basin then recycles the water up through the wetland to further filter the pond water. Boulder retaining walls were also installed as well as landscaping lighting.
