Frequently Asked Questions

Do backyard ponds attract mosquitoes?

No — moving water from a waterfall or fountain disrupts mosquito egg-laying, and goldfish/koi eat any larvae that do hatch. Properly designed ponds are actually mosquito-control features compared to stagnant water elsewhere on the property.

How much does an ecosystem pond cost?

Small 6x8 ft ponds with a waterfall and basic stocking start around $9,500-$15,000 installed. Mid-size 10x15 ft koi ponds with full bio-filtration run $18,000-$35,000. Large natural-style ponds with streams, bridges, and mature planting can reach $50,000-$100,000+.

How much maintenance does a pond need?

Modern ecosystem ponds with biological filtration need about 1-2 hours per month in summer (net out debris, check pump, top up water), plus a spring cleanout every 1-3 years. We offer seasonal maintenance packages if you'd rather not handle it yourself.

Can I keep fish through Vancouver winters?

Yes — koi and goldfish overwinter safely outdoors in properly-built ponds (minimum 3 ft deep zone, with a de-icer or pond bubbler to keep a hole in the ice for gas exchange). We design all our ponds with year-round Vancouver climate in mind.

Do I need a permit for a backyard pond?

Most residential ornamental ponds under a certain depth (varies by municipality, usually 24 inches) do not require permits. Larger or deeper ponds, or those in environmentally sensitive areas, may require approval. We verify bylaws before design and handle any permits required.
