How Much Does a Pond or Water Feature Cost?

While there are some variables and options to be considered, here are some basic packages to give you an idea of how much a pond or water feature costs. The pond prices below assume a couple of things: reasonably easy access to the build site, and that the site is not a "hard dig," meaning that if the yard is set on a solid caliche bed, there may be some extra charges involved. The prices also assume the client is within the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Beyond that, though, we include everything but the water, plants, and fish (most people prefer to choose their own pets).
As you can see, we don't recommend putting Koi in a pond less than 10'x15'. But don't despair -- there are gorgeous fun goldfish out there, too! Koi just tend to grow to a bit larger size than goldfish, so we want to make sure that their home is sized --and filtered-- appropriately.
We have no desire to be the low price leader, cutting costs (and corners) wherever possible. Our prices are in line with industry standards across the nature for a professional pond contractor. All our ponds include size-appropriate mechanical filtration, biological filtration, 40-mil EPDM liner, underlayment to protect the liner, size-appropriate plumbing & pump, labor for installation, appropriate underwater LED lights with dusk-to-dawn timer/transformer, and a welcome kit to get you off on the right foot.

There are a lot of cool options, too! For example, we can upgrade any of the pond packages to have a commercial intake bay instead of a skimmer for mechanical filtration. We can also add basic or premium aquatic plant packages, floor jets, extra Koi caves, larger crane-set boulders -- you get the idea. We also have great maintenance programs to help you keep things up!
Want the champagne version, but can only come up with beer money? No problem! We have a great financing program.
