Watergardening & Ornamental Pond Design, Construction & Supplies

Building a water garden or ornamental pond should be a fun, creative and enjoyable process. However, unless you are properly trained, it can turn into a time consuming, frustrating job. A proper pond construction project is much more than laying out a shape, digging a hole, and slapping down a liner.

AQUA DOC has a full time crew of watergarden and ornamental specialists who will be happy to work with you in the design of your water feature. Everything from a small watergarden by a deck to a large, multilayered pond can be designed to your precise specifications.

A well designed water feature takes into account the entire eco-system that is being created. You are choosing to add the ultimate in beauty and relaxation into your landscape. Waterfalls are "summer's fireplace"; soothing and tranquil. We can design waterfalls, streams, formal fountains, landscape designs, and installation. Environmentally sound and beautiful, a well designed water feature will mature with age and enhance the value of your home.

The natural beauty of lakes and ponds is a captivating feature in any landscape. Healthy lakes and ponds are not only beautiful, but they provide habitat and drinking water for a marvelous variety of plants and animals and are also important for recreational uses such as fishing, swimming, and boating.

Unfortunately, there are many threats to the health and beauty of ponds. Exotic plant species such as Eurasian watermilfoil have entered Ohio lakes, causing aesthetic and water quality problems. Natural aging of a pond can lead to excessive plant growth which can damage the health and beauty of a pond. Many factors can interact to reduce oxygen to unhealthy levels.

Human activities are a major threat to lakes and ponds. Soil erosion from any exposed land will make a pond more shallow, and can eventually fill in the pond. Shallow ponds are susceptible to excessive plant growth, and may be unable to support fish. Runoff of excess fertilizer from farming and landscaping can also cause excessive plant growth.

Managing the health and beauty of your lake or pond requires constant attention focused on preventative strategies rather than reaction to problems. Effective pond management is similar to raising children. While there are characteristics common to all children, each child is an individual. All ponds also have common characteristics; however, each pond is unique. Therefore, managing ponds and the threats to them requires extensive knowledge and experience.

AQUA DOC has been sustaining and renewing the health and beauty of ponds in Ohio since 1983. This experience is not only valuable in managing current threats to your pond, but is also critical in anticipating future threats. Working with you, AQUA DOC can develop a management program to enhance the health and beauty of your pond.

Fountain and Aeration Systems

As part of the overall management strategy for your lake or pond, a fountain or aeration system is an important component.

In our environmentally conscious world, installation of aeration equipment used in conjunction with proper algae and weed treatment programs results in increased oxygen levels, and an aesthetically pleasing body of water. Aeration and fountain systems help in controlling problems of algae build up, aquatic weeds, bottom sludge and aquatic odors in lakes and ponds.

AQUA DOC specializes in the AquaMaster line of floating fountains. The patented high-efficiency, stainless steel propeller diffuser system is backed by the finest warranty in the industry. AquaMaster fountains come in sizes from 1/2 to 10 horsepower, pumping from 325 to thousands of gallons per minute. Fountains may be ordered with control panels, timers, light systems, a variety of nozzle patterns, and many other features.

AQUA DOC also carries and installs the Aqua-Aire Pond Aeration System. Aqua-Aire replenishes the oxygen in your pond by using a 1/3 HP shore mounted compressor to pump air to the bottom. The air is forced through four diffuser stones on the lake or pond's bottom. The air rises to the surface, completely mixing and oxygenating your pond. AQUA DOC can design a custom system to meet the demands of your lake or pond.

Call us to make a free initial consultation to assess the aeration needs of your lake or pond.
