Custom Pond Design

Personalized concepts that blend engineering and artistry for ponds that feel truly native to your landscape.

Tailored concepts, built to last

Every site is different. We study your light, grade, views, and daily patterns, then design a pond that looks native to your property. From intimate courtyards to expansive retreats, we balance engineering, ecology, and aesthetics for results that feel effortless and endure.

  • Concept sketches, planting palettes, and materials board
  • Filtration and circulation sizing for clarity and health
  • Budget-aligned phasing and maintenance planning

Hillside Garden Pond

Narrow slope, strong afternoon sun, and tall oaks made this site challenging. We shaped a layered basin with shaded pockets, integrated skimming, and a planting plan that thrives in Texas heat.

  • Cool-water refuges and lily spread for shade
  • Hidden access to filtration for easy service
  • Night lighting focused on movement and texture
