Pond Design Experts in La Cañada Flintridge

Elevate your outdoor living experience with an ecosystem pond that mimics nature and supports the surrounding environment. These ponds are designed to be self-sustaining, offering a peaceful retreat for homeowners while attracting birds, fish, and pollinators. A successful ecosystem relies on each component working together, remove one, and the natural harmony is lost.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): The skimmer serves as the first line of defense, pulling in water from the surface to capture floating debris such as leaves and dust. It prevents the buildup of organic material at the bottom of the pond and helps the pump operate efficiently.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Hidden within the waterfall structure, the BioFalls® filter is filled with specialized media where beneficial bacteria thrive. These bacteria break down organic waste and nutrients, naturally purifying the water and maintaining a healthy aquatic environment.
