Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls

Tom did a very thorough cleaning of our pond and water fall in the spring. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Our pond never looked better all summer.

Excellent in every way. 5 stars. Would recommend to anyone. Very good service and informative about ponds and fish. Was very satisfied with the work.

Just had them clean our pond after a cold winter. We have 3 small ponds that waterfall into a large pond. We get a lot of leaves in the fall and winter, so we cover the ponds with a net. Getting the net off in the spring can be tricky since it is full of leaves. The ponds had not been fully cleaned for about three years, so there was a lot of muck on the bottom and in the rocks. We do not have fish in the pond because of the Blue Herons. We used to have a lot of fish, both Koi and Goldfish. At the peak there were about 110 fish in the pond, and the Koi were 11". However, the Herons got them all over a couple of years - so no more fish. I was pleased with the job that Acorn did on our ponds. They have large containers so they can remove any fish during the cleaning and save water from the pond, so it is not necessary to refill with all fresh water. They removed the net carefully and drained the ponds. Then they power washed the rocks to get all the muck out and then pumped out the sludge. The result was ponds as clean as when initially installed 27 years ago. There are two pumps in the pond which they disassembled and cleaned. Now we have a crystal-clear pond with pumps operating at full speed. They are not cheap which is why I removed one star, but they worked hard, and did a first-rate professional job. I would highly recommend them. I will use them again.

We purchased a home with a Koi fish pond and though I love it, I didn't know how to care for it. It was my lucky day when I contacted Tom at Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls. Not only was he very knowledgeable but very patient listening to all of my concerns. Tom and his wife, Maria, came out to our home the next day to help me get started. They work together very well. They explained everything they were doing and its importance. I was able to work right along beside them and never once did I feel like they didn't want me there or that I could have been slowing them down. You can tell that they the really care seeing how they handled the fish. Through thoroughly cleaning my pond and asking for my input in making what was a tired, messy pond beautiful and making a waterfall with the stones, rocks etc. that I had. They made suggestions without pressuring me. It is a beautiful pond now and my fish are very happy in their new healthy environment.

They certainly belong to the top list of pond contractors near me along with https://purelyponds.com/pond-contractor-near-me/ and other notable contractors! I've had these two put up ponds and water features in my residential and business properties and they also do the maintenance works for me! The landscapes and ponds are fresh, clean, and beautiful!

I had previous plantings that needed to be moved and they were carefully set aside prior to starting. Tom was more than willing to accept my guidance as to what I wanted. The pond was situated so that I can see the pond from my living room window. The stones were meticulously placed when the pond was being built. Tom was a very pleasant and friendly person to work with.

They were right on time and carefully explained what the job entailed. They cleaned up and did a great job.

I highly recommend using Tom. He recently gave my existing pond a brand new life! He drained the pond, assessed it for leaks, which it had and we were unable to identify the source. The pond was cleaned, lighting added, overgrown plants thinned out and it looks as if it is a brand new pond. I should have done this years ago. Thanks to Tom and his hard working assistant Dan, both extremely courteous and professional and on time!

We were contemplating removing our entire pond from our backyard due to the amount of work that needed to be done. After talking to Tom, he walked us through all the changes he would make, and was extremely thorough with explaining his plans. The work was done so timely and efficiently, and we couldn't be happier with the work that was done, including new LED lighting! Our pond not only works, but it looks more beautiful than the day it was put in, and our fish are enjoying it just as much as we are! His work truly gave our backyard new life and we're so excited to share it with friends and family this summer.I would highly recommend Tom at Acorn ponds and Waterfalls!

I hired Tom after interviewing a few companies regarding my existing two-tiered pond with waterfall that had become overgrown with algae and a maintenance nightmare. Most companies offered a maintenance program to clean periodically as the solution, but Tom offered a solution that required limited maintenance. While the other solutions would have been less costly they didn't get to the root of the problem and were more of a Band-Aid approach. Tom's Aquascape solution made more sense to me in that it included an ionizer, beneficial bacteria dozer, skimmer and BOG filtration system. I did question the cost of his solution during the process, but now feel I received fair value for the solution he brought to the table. It has been 2 months since he completed his work and I'm very pleased with the results. The ionizer after finding the correct setting and beneficial bacteria dozer has kept 95+% of the algae away. I get the occasional string of algae that is easy enough to rake out and allows me to see and enjoy the beautiful Koi that I have. The skimmer has trapped all the debris that falls into the pond after the last few windy months that would have settled on the bottom. While I am grateful for all that and it has truly allowed me to enjoy my pond again, my favorite thing Tom did was install the BOG filtration system, as it has turned the second tier of my pond into a thing of beauty with the incredible plants he put up there. I know that the filtration system is also helping with the algae problems I had, but I really didn't expect to enjoy the beautiful plants up there that give the whole pond a softer look than just looking at a lot of rocks. I also want to communicate that Tom kept his commitments in regards to the timing of the project and has been available if I have any questions. Even when I don't have questions he has followed up multiple times to make sure everything is going well and to see if I needed anything. All in all, Tom and his guys surpassed my expectations and I would highly recommend working with him and his company.

I cannot rave enough about Tom and his talented crew that created a backyard paradise for me (and my goldfish!) on my teeny patio. They were a pleasure to have working at my home and I am totally thrilled with their finished product! I would not hesitate to recommend Acorn Ponds and Waterfalls. Top notch!

Tom recently completed a patio for me and it turned out fabulous, expanding the space making it much larger. He has creative ideas but also willing to work with what you want and can afford. I was most impressed by the fact that he and another worked did all of the work. They were there on time everyday except when raining and worked until late afternoon even when it was 90 degrees outside. He took his time and did it right; I'd consider him an "artist" within his profession. 5 Stars for sure! Donna
