Most Common Pond - Water Feature Problems We've Had To Fix

1/17/2022

Most Common Pond - Water Feature Problems We've Had To Fix | Rochester New York | NY
Picture
Would you like to save a lot of money, time and headaches on your new project? Of course, who wouldn't right?  

Over the past 20+ years customers have come to us 
with all kinds of water feature problems throughout the Rochester New York area and beyond. An improperly designed waterfall can cause a great deal of water loss, or it may just look unnatural and need a face lift or rejuvenation.   

It's sad but true, our primary business is refurbishing and maintaining existing ponds to make them function properly. Some of these ponds installed by other "professional" pond installers or landscapers leave little to be desired, and loads of problems that drive people crazy and force them to look for help.

If you are thinking to hire a professional, please be sure to research your contractor first. This could  save a lot of frustration down the road.

We've been hired numerous times to re-do a pond that was recently built. Water features are meant to help you relax and enjoy them, not get you frustrated.

Is Wetland Filtration Right For My Koi Pond?

Is Wetland Filtration Right For My Koi Pond|Rochester|NY|New York|near Me
Wetland Filter Rochester NY
Having water clarity problems or thinking about upgrading your Rochester NY pond? You may want to consider adding a wetland filter.
​
A constructed wetland or bog filter functions similar to biological filter (waterfall filter) except there is an up-flow system that recirculates the water underneath and a shallow, plant filled area with gravel to help bacteria colonization. It mimics a natural wetland and provides crystal clear water quality.
​ If wetland filtration was a car, think of it as the Tesla. 

The addition of a properly installed constructed (bog) wetlands will make any pond look natural and beautiful. Did you know more plant and animal life is associated with natural wetlands than any ecosystem in the world? By adding a wetland you are not only improving your ponds health but also adding to the diversity of nature.
 
Constructed wetlands can be installed on new water gardens or added to an existing pond!

Pondless Waterfall Water Feature Construction 2016 Pondemonium

3/28/2018

NY|Pondless Waterfall-Water Feature Construction|2016 Pondemonium|Rochester|New York

Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls of Rochester (NY) is one of many pond contractors that traveled to Chicago in August 2016 to help in the construction of a pondless waterfall commercial water feature at the  Q Center Hotel located in St. Charles, Illinois.

The Q Center provides lodging and meeting space for seminars and conferences. The goal of the stunning waterfall was to create a spectacular view from the windows of meeting rooms and lodging spaces, and to draw visitors and attendees out to the expansive patio for networking and dining. Limestone boulders create two waterfalls converging into one.

​The waterfall on the left is twice as long as the shorter, steeper waterfall on the right. Underwater LED lighting was added to each waterfall drop for dramatic, nighttime viewing.
