Pond Design Experts in La Crescenta

Turn your backyard into a peaceful haven with a natural ecosystem pond. These ponds are more than decorative, they support wildlife, purify water naturally, and require very little upkeep. When all the parts of the pond’s ecosystem work in harmony, you get a sustainable, chemical-free water feature that brings beauty and life to your outdoor space. If one piece is missing, that balance is disrupted.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): The skimmer plays a vital role by pulling water from the surface and catching floating debris like leaves, dust, and twigs. This helps maintain clean water while protecting the pump and preparing the pond for biological filtration.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Hidden within the waterfall, this filter houses beneficial bacteria that break down organic matter and excess nutrients. As water passes through the filter media, it’s purified naturally, keeping your pond clean and biologically balanced.

Reliable Natural Filtration

At California Waterscapes, we’re committed to building ponds that work with nature. That’s why we trust the durable, effective filtration systems from Aquascape Inc., a leading name in the pond industry.

For homes in La Crescenta, we install a dual-filtration system: a skimmer to handle large surface debris and a biological filter to purify the water. This approach mimics nature’s own filtration processes, resulting in low-maintenance ponds that stay crystal-clear without the need for harmful chemicals.
