It is fairly common for us to be contacted by new homeowners who inherited a pond and they have no idea what to do or where to turn. How do I maintain this water feature? Why doesn’t the water feature that came with my home purchase work? We also have homeowners who have decided it is time to think about a pond renovation to enhance or expand their existing pond or even to add a waterfall or bog filter. Sometimes you just want to add some new flare to an existing water feature—that’s a great reason, too!
Aquascape always says: "Most pond owners in their lifetime own an average of three ponds or water features. The first pond is the “starter pond”, the second is the pond that they thought they wanted, and the third pond is what they ultimately wanted all along."
Whether the style of your first water feature was initially due to space or financial limitations, the great thing is that you are never stuck with what you have!

When Should I Renovate My Water Feature?
Pond Restoration can be done at almost any time of the year, weather permitting. By combining the homeowner’s interests and the pond professionals’ creativity, the sky’s the limit on possibilities to restore or upgrade your pond. Some pond owner’s may think that they are limited by space but don’t let that deter you. Ponds and pondless waterfalls can be adapted to almost any area by turning obstacles into opportunities! Dreamscapes renovates/restores koi ponds man-made waterfalls all year long if the ground is not frozen.
Advancements:
As pond technology evolves, upgrading your system may seem more appealing that ever. For example, what might have been a large unsightly external filtration system that resembled pool equipment years ago, can now have a much more appealing aesthetic as a contained system with the combination of mechanical and biological filtration. The newer system is also EASIER and more efficient at maintaining backyard ponds. Pond Restoration does not mean the complete pond needs to be uprooted; sometimes just a specific area needs attention, like adding or enhancing a waterfall or adding that upgrading filtration system to the side and top of the feature. The addition of a waterfall certainly adds a WOW factor to any pond, even a small one. Similarly, adding boulders to your pond can add an architectural element that mirrors a more natural glow for your paradise.
So Now What???
There are unlimited ways to utilize a pond renovation. Be sure to consider naturalization and creativity when planning your pond restoration and it will add beauty and tranquility to your outdoor living space for years to come. Lastly, if you are planning a pond renovation, see if you are able to visit properties with ponds by the contractor you’re interested in. Seeing what other pond owners have done to enhance the pond lifestyle can be one of the best ways to obtain knowledge and true inspiration!
