ecosystem ponds BY THE POND GNOME

Ponds in the Phoenix desert?!?!  Absolutely!  Riparian areas are scattered throughout the Sonoran desert, providing respite.  These include ponds, streams, and waterfalls.  Whether you're interested in an ecosystem pond, or a disappearing pondless waterfall and/or stream, The Pond Gnome can create what you've been dreaming of!

Desert-wise landscaping does NOT have to be a barren wasteland with a few cacti punctuating the scenery.  Nor does a tropical atmosphere require temperature-tender water-hungry plants ill-equipped to handle our alkali native soil.  You can have an outdoor environment that reflects a contemporary, more enlightened use of the land surrounding your home — for the betterment of the Earth AND your own well-being. Elevate your outdoor living experience!
The pond has added the finishing touch to my garden. Even yard work is more pleasurable because I can hear the waterfall and watch the fish as I work. 

How does an ecosystem pond work?

An ecosystem pond is both simple and complex. The simple part is copying Mother Nature's recipe. The complex part is proper design to get the proportions right. Doing this since 2000, we've pretty much got a handle on how this thing works! And by working WITH Mother Nature, instead of against her, as well as using only Aquascape Professional-grade products, we can offer our Clear Water Guarantee!

Small Ponds

Small area?  No problem!  We excel at shoehorning goldfish ponds into tight areas because everything is done by hand.

Medium Ponds

Our most popular size range.  Well-built Koi ponds provide hours of enjoyment, with just minutes of maintenance per week!

Large Ponds

Large ponds can also be recreational ponds!  Enjoy a variety of Koi aplenty, collecting lots of aquatic plants, and even a refreshing dip! Large-scale projects are typically constructed Oct-May due to the heat issues we have here in the Sonoran Desert. Since our lead time is typically 2-3 months, let's be sure we plan ahead!
