Pond Design Experts in South Pasadena

Elevate your outdoor space with a naturally balanced ecosystem pond, designed to bring beauty, tranquility, and wildlife into your backyard. These water features operate in harmony with the environment, requiring minimal upkeep while providing year-round enjoyment. A complete ecosystem relies on all its key components, remove one, and the pond’s health and clarity are compromised.

How it Works

Step 1

Skimmer (mechanical filter): The skimmer sits at the pond’s edge, constantly pulling water from the surface. It catches leaves, pollen, and surface debris before they can sink and decay, preserving water clarity and reducing sludge buildup.

Step 2

BioFalls® (biological filter): Hidden within the waterfall structure, the BioFalls® filter supports colonies of beneficial bacteria that naturally break down organic waste and excess nutrients. This step ensures clean, clear water without synthetic chemicals.
