Pond Design Experts in Montrose

Transform your outdoor space into a natural retreat with a professionally built ecosystem pond. These water features aren’t just for show, they support local wildlife, naturally clean themselves, and offer a relaxing ambiance. When every part of the ecosystem works together, your pond thrives. But if one piece is missing, the balance is lost, leading to higher maintenance and less clarity.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): This essential component draws water from the surface and removes floating debris like leaves, petals, and dust. It helps keep the water clear while protecting the pump and preparing the water for the next filtration stage.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Hidden inside the waterfall feature, the BioFalls® filter is filled with porous media that supports colonies of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria break down nutrients and organic waste, creating naturally clean and healthy water.

Nature-Based Filtration Systems

At California Waterscapes, we believe in working with nature, not against it. Our team uses advanced yet natural filtration systems from Aquascape Inc., known for their durability and performance.

For properties in Montrose, we install a two-stage system: a mechanical skimmer that collects visible debris and a biological filter that purifies the water through microbial activity. The result? A crystal-clear pond that’s easy to maintain and completely chemical-free.
