Pond Installation in Redding, CA
Koi ponds, water gardens and pondless waterfalls, designed to fit your yard and built to stay clear.
What we do
The sound of water changes a backyard.
A pond or waterfall turns a quiet corner of the yard into the place everyone ends up. We design and build koi ponds, planted water gardens and pondless waterfalls, sized to the space and to how much upkeep you want.
A pondless waterfall suits smaller yards and families with young children. You get the sound and the movement, and the water disappears into a bed of rock instead of standing in a pool.
- Koi ponds with proper depth, liner and filtration
- Water gardens with lilies, lotus and aquatic plants
- Pondless waterfalls and fountains
- Rebuilds of older ponds and water features
Getting it right
Where the pond goes matters.
The best spot has partial shade, level ground and power and water close by, away from heavy runoff. Shade keeps direct sun off the water and slows algae, which matters in a Redding summer.
Moving water from a pump or waterfall also discourages mosquitoes and keeps oxygen up for the fish.
- Underground utilities located before we dig
- Pump and filter sized to the pond
- Filled, leak-checked and water-tested before we hand it over

Questions
Ponds & Water Features: common questions.
How much does it cost to build a backyard pond in Redding, CA?
A backyard pond typically runs from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on its size and depth and on extras like a waterfall, lighting or a filtration system. We quote each one from your plans and your site.
How do I keep pond water healthy year-round?
Check the pump and filter regularly, clear out leaves and debris, and test for ammonia. Seasonal care in spring and winter, plus beneficial bacteria, keeps the pond balanced and the algae down.
Will a pond attract pests?
A well designed pond brings birds and frogs. Mosquitoes breed in still water, so a pump, fountain or waterfall that keeps the water moving discourages them and adds oxygen for the fish.
Where should a pond go in my yard?
Somewhere with partial shade and level ground, near power and water and away from heavy runoff. We look at your yard and recommend the most practical spot.
What plants and fish do well in a backyard pond?
For plants: lilies, lotus, submerged plants and ornamental grasses. For fish: koi and goldfish, which are hardy and good to look at. We will help you choose what suits your pond.
