From the small and modest to the grand and elaborate, no job is too big or too small for us. We’ll work with you throughout the entire process to ensure we are heading in the right direction to meet your goals.

Pond Services

Water features are extremely popular, and can turn your average backyard into a relaxing oasis. Whether you are searching for a freestanding fountain or would like a realistic waterfall on an existing pool or koi pond, our team can make it happen.

Not only can we design the entire water feature from start to finish, but we can also work with your existing structures or blueprints to incorporate additional water features onto that. This gives you the freedom to break your project into smaller chunks instead of having everything done all at once.

It can be harder than it looks to pull off a pond with various, balanced elements, and pull it all together in a way that seems natural. However, we manage to do it every time. With design chops, follow-through, and an eye for beauty, our team will get you the custom pond or waterfall you’re looking for.

We specialize in intricate ponds that can include exciting features like:

  • Waterfalls
  • Streams and stream beds
  • Turtles
  • Fish and koi fish
  • Natural rock and flagstone
  • Fire features
  • Water gardens
  • Lilies and water plants
  • Bridges
  • Fountains
  • Custom lighting
  • Water gardens
  • And more

We can also handle all the functional aspects of your pond to keep the ecosystem healthy and thriving, including filtration, pond pumps, pond liner, algae control systems, pond clarifiers, aquatic plant installation, and more. From small ponds to thousand gallon koi ponds, our team is equipped to handle it all.

Bring us your ideas and inspirational images for your pond and we’ll create a design that will “wow” you. Whether you want a quiet fish pond, a stunning waterfall, or anything in between, we have the tools and experience to make it a reality. Plus, we can take your other needs for your landscape into account, whether you want something that is very easy to maintain, that is drought-tolerant, or that supports local flora and fauna.

Koi in a custom pond

Koi Ponds

You want to have your koi pond design and installation done by experienced professionals because if it’s done wrong, you’ll have a murky, grimy pool of water in your yard that attracts mosquitos and bacteria, which is the last thing you want for a backyard oasis. With our experience, we can avoid common mistakes such as:

  • Improper size: Koi ponds need to be the right size for the number and size of fish you want to have.
  • Sunlight: Koi need 4 hours of direct sunlight to survive. However, too much sunlight can cause algae growth in the pond.
  • Run-off: Water run-off, including from lawn fertilizer, can hurt your fish.
  • Depth: Koi pond will need water of a certain depth to take shelter from colder weather.

We can help you create a beautiful koi pond that will provide a touch of elegance and relaxation to your yard.

Care of your Koi Pond

Once you have your koi pond constructed, you should learn how to best take care of your pond and your koi. As one of the top landscaping companies in Sherman Oaks, we can offer some advice on how to maintain your koi pond:

  • Use a filtration system that includes a purchased system as well as filtering plants that clean the water as they grow.
  • Make sure there’s enough room in the pond for your koi fish to live comfortably. Too many fish or too small of a pond will cause too much waste that will eventually kill your fish.
  • Check for and remove debris daily. Even though you have a filtration system, you will still get debris in your pond that can get caught in your filter or pump or harm your koi. Take the time to check for debris, including bugs, and remove them daily.
  • Clean the pond well. When the water is changed, you should make sure you scrub the rocks and other items you have in the pond to prevent algae and maintain clean water.
  • Be aware of koi predators in your area and make sure you take proper measures to protect your fish.

Some koi pond owners prefer not to worry about any of this themselves. If you’re interested in having help with maintaining your koi pond, be sure to ask us about our maintenance packages that can keep your koi pond looking great all year long.

Sprinkler Services

In addition to pond construction, we can also install sprinkler and irrigation systems. If you want to keep your lawn watered throughout the year, or have a new edible garden that needs discreet yet effective irrigation, give us a call and let our team tell you how we can help. One of our most in-demand services is sprinkler repair, for one good reason: finding another dependable sprinkler repair company in Sherman Oaks isn’t easy.

Without a working sprinkler system, your lawn will suffer quickly. Even just a dead patch from a bad zone setup can do massive damage to your lawn that can take months to repair.

The good news is that our team works quickly to renew your sprinkler system. We cover 100% of your in-ground lawn irrigation system needs, including PVC piping, timers, environmental sensors, heads and sprayers, drainage, zone additions, and more. We can even install and set up smart sprinkler controllers from leading brands like Rachio, so you can control and monitor your sprinkler system from your smartphone.

As professionals with real knowledge, skills, and the right equipment for the job we can fix the following problems and parts:

  • Sprinkler valves and solenoids
  • Sprinkler heads, including rotor, pop-up and spray heads
  • Sprinkler timers and smart controllers
  • Sprinkler wiring
  • Water lines, PVC pipes
  • Drainage problems
  • Leaks
  • Zoning problems
  • Sprinkler backflows
  • Environmental sensors
  • Sprinkler efficiency and water-saving upgrades
  • Drip systems
  • And more

Trust us, the real sprinkler professionals, over general contractors who don’t know enough about the kinds and quality of sprinkler systems and parts to offer you expert guidance.

Drought Tolerant Landscaping

Whether you’re ready to replace your front lawn, or whether you just want to cut down on water and maintenance for your yard, our drought tolerant landscaping specialists can help. Once we speak with you and determine the best overall plan of action for your landscaping, we’ll work with you to choose the perfect native and non-native low-water plants to accent your landscaping.

Drought-tolerant landscaping, also known as xeriscaping, is much more than a way to just cut down on water. It’s also a way to support your local pollinators, which increases biodiversity and can help the yields of nearby fruits and vegetables. Drought tolerant landscaping can also add drama and sophistication to your yard in a way that monoculture grass cannot.
