Pond Construction
Crafting well balanced low maintenance ecosystems.
A professionally designed and constructed pond is more than just a stunning feature in your landscape—it’s a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem that brings long-term enjoyment, relaxation, and natural beauty to your outdoor space. At Damascus Enterprises, we specialize in pond construction and creating ponds and water gardens that balance the intricate components of a healthy ecosystem, ensuring your pond flourishes with minimal maintenance.
The key to a successful pond construction lies in achieving the perfect balance of water flow, oxygen levels, beneficial bacteria, and aeration. Unfortunately, too many ponds are installed incorrectly, overlooking critical elements necessary for a self-sustaining ecosystem. This leads to issues such as poor water quality, algae overgrowth, and costly maintenance.
At Damascus Enterprises, we bring expertise and precision to every pond we design and build. Using the nationally recognized Aquascape 20-Step Pond Installation Process, we ensure every detail is addressed to create a harmonious and enduring water feature. From selecting the appropriate size and type of plants to adding enhancements like fish, waterfalls, and pond lighting, we help you design a pond tailored to your space and vision.
Contact Damascus Enterprises today to start your journey toward the perfect pond or water garden. Let us bring your vision to life with a pond construction or water feature that enhances your landscape and provides lasting peace and enjoyment.
