Ecosystem Ponds

Mountain Rock Pools' Ecosystem Ponds

A smaller version of the recreation pond, this feature is designed to bring aquatic life into your back yard.
Whether you’re looking for an outdoor aquarium, a lily pond or you want to welcome more serenity into your day-to-day life, these ponds are just for you.

We design these ecosystem ponds specifically for your needs, harnessing the strengths and limitations of your land.

What's an Ecosystem Pond?

These freshwater ponds are designed and constructed to become a well-balanced aquatic ecosystem. Using Aquascape Ecosystem Pond products and construction methods allows us to create something unique that looks beautiful with minimal effort. These features traditionally have a waterfall as part of the reticulation system, however reflection ponds are also possible. Tell us what you’re hoping to achieve with your ecosystem pond and we’ll create a design that will serve and last.

Caring for Eco Ponds

Like anything else, these features thrive when taken care of properly. If time is a deciding factor for you when chosing your water feature, here are some things Pond owners do to keep their water feature in good condition.

Skimmer

Like the recreation ponds, our ecosystem ponds have a skimmer that collects floating debris. Unless you’ve a lot of leaf litter in the area, you shouldn’t need to check it more than once a week, if not less.

Water Loss

Water levels can drop with evaporation, interaction, low edges or the odd puncture.

Pond pumps die if they run dry and it voids the warranty. There are a few things that can cause water loss, so just keep an eye on the waterline and get in touch with us if it drops too frequently.

Don’t want to think about it?

We can include an automatic top-up function during or after the build so your pond can further take care of itself.

Dosing

These natural pools are chemical free, but there are solutions that need to be administered for the filtration to be effective and to manage things like algae blooms. We’ll be able to tell you how much beneficial bacteria you’ll need and how frequently you’ll need it to keep your swimming pond clear and safe.
Don’t want to think about it?
Auto-dosers are an optional extra that can be programmed to dispense the right amount of bacteria for your water feature at exactly the right time.

Professional Maintenance

Pumps need annual maintenance to retain the warrantee and to make sure you get the best out of your investment.
We provide this and other services in our Aftercare support for our clients.
