Repairs & Renovations
Thoughtful Repairs. Lasting Results.
Not all pond problems require a full rebuild. Whether you're dealing with a persistent leak, poor water clarity, or a pump that's just not doing its job, we’ve seen—and fixed—it all. While many issues stem from systems that were never built with the right filtration or infrastructure in place, some can be resolved with smart, targeted repairs. Below are a few common services we offer that may be the key to getting your water feature back in balance.

Where to Start
Before beginning any repair work, we’ll first need to complete a thorough on-site assessment. If your water feature isn’t in need of a full tear-out and rebuild, this step allows us to evaluate the existing setup, identify the root of any issues, and determine whether repairs are a viable option. It’s the best way to ensure our recommendations are accurate—and that any work we do is built to last.
