Pond Construction

If you can dream it, HabiScapes can build it.

HabiScapes uses only premium materials in the construction of their spectacular water features. No pre-form pond kits or inferior materials are considered. From underlayment to liner to pump, every pond is designed to provide the best quality possible for a long lasting water feature. Importantly, HabiScapes ponds are recirculating and constantly filtering, therefore, they do not serve as breeding areas for mosquitoes that prefer standing water.

We understand that the most important aspect of construction takes place well before the first shovel full of dirt, therefore we work closely with the clients to determine their expectations. We offer our expertise and insights to clients to consider in the finalization of size, location, creeks, and overall configuration. There are many critical aspects that many overlook until it is too late. Do you want one large pond or multiple small ponds? What size waterfall do you want and how many? What sounds are you anticipating to hear in a waterfall; deep plunging or multiple cascades. Do you want a creek or multiple creeks? The sounds you expect from the creek/s will influence the water flow necessary. Will the creeks be long and meandering? Will they have small pools along the way to the pond? The questions and options go on and on. There are virtually no limits to the design of the water feature. If you can dream it, HabiScapes can build it!

   
 
Heavy equipment is only used to rough in the waterfeature. Precise placement of boulders before the digging is an art in itself.
Big or small, it all comes down to hand-sculpting before placing the underlayment. The barrier between liner and soil is essential.
Aligning and removing wrinkles is critical before rocking. Proper boulder placement is time consuming and requires many precautions for the life of the pond.
Boulders make a base for the smaller stone and make for a beautiful pond. Yes, ALL these stones were individually hand placed!
Boulders make the finishing touch and serve as great benches to enjoy the pond. Your ponds begins to look like a natural river environment.
When it finally looks and sounds like a natural mountain creek or like a pond that has been nestled in the dogwood forever, then it is a HabiScapes' pond...
