Turning Backyard Dreams Into Amazing Ponds

Answering Common Pond Building Questions

Pond building costs can really vary, depending on what you’re looking for. At The Great Oasis, smaller ponds might start at a few thousand dollars, while larger, more intricate designs can go up to $75,000 or more, especially if you’re adding features like waterfalls or advanced filtration.

Every pond is different, so we’ll give you a detailed quote after we check out your space and talk about your ideas. Plus, we offer financing options to make it easier on your budget.

Building a pond usually takes about one to two weeks, but some smaller ones can be completed even sooner. Of course, it depends on the size and design.

We handle everything from digging and setting up the filtration system to adding the rocks, plants, and other details. We work efficiently but don’t cut corners, so you can start enjoying your new pond as soon as possible without sacrificing quality.

A well-built pond can last for decades, especially when it’s done right, like the ponds we build at The Great Oasis. The equipment, like pumps and filters, usually comes with a 3 to 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

With regular care and occasional upgrades, your pond will be around for a long time, providing enjoyment year after year.

We’ve built over 50 ponds in the past three years. From serene koi ponds to sleek modern designs, we’ve done it all. Each project is personalized to fit what our clients are dreaming of, so no two ponds are exactly alike. 

It’s been amazing to see how these water features transform outdoor spaces and make our clients happy.

Yes, we do! We’ve teamed up with WiseTack to offer financing options that let you spread out the cost of your pond project.

When we send you a quote, you’ll see a financing link attached, so you can look into payment plans that fit your budget. It’s a simple way to make your dream pond happen without breaking the bank.

Ponds do need regular upkeep to stay in great shape, but it doesn’t have to be a hassle. We recommend a full cleaning at least once a year. This helps keep debris out and ensures everything’s working properly.

Depending on your pond, you might also need to check on things like pumps and water quality throughout the year. Don’t worry though; we offer maintenance plans to keep your pond looking and running its best, so you can just relax and enjoy it.
