The Next Generation of Pond Construction

In 2007 The Pond Digger, Inc® from Exotic Aquatics embarks on a journey into the next generation of pond construction where the koi pond meets the water garden. Today there are well over 120,000 rock and gravel ponds in the United States, from Southern California to Florida and from Texas up to the Canadian border.

Koi Ponds Meet Water Gardens! It's happening now as we speak! A fusion of the water gardening and Koi pond industries. Advances in the water garden industry, like cutting-edge back flushable waterfall filtration systems, have world renowned Koi Experts looking at the water garden industry with a new perspective. The fact that pond owners, in general, want the best of both worlds, can no longer be ignored.

Most of your basic water gardens are not designed to maintain optimal Koi health and traditional Koi ponds are not designed to blend into the landscape naturally all the while Koi can, and do thrive in both pond construction types if certain technologies are set in place. The development of the hybrid koi pond kit has stemmed from this need in the industry and is a combination or a fusion of the two pond construction philosophies.

The Pond Digger Waterscape Design & Construction Company has literally interviewed thousands of pond owners and prospective pond buyers to reveal the consumers desires. Pond owners want a pond that blends seamlessly into the landscape while offering pristine water quality and a healthy environment for koi fish. Education & information covering both pond installation and pond maintenance is the backbone of our strategy in designing a pond system for our clients. Our Design Consultation Team is second to none. We offer a service where we come to you as a POND DESIGN CONSULTANT looking out for your best interest in the planning stages of new pond construction. Additionally, we offer these Pond Design Consultant services for existing problem ponds that need trouble shooting.

By embracing water garden construction philosophies and incorporating new filtration technologies including aeration systems, U.V. Sterilization and the collection of bottom debris, we can find a neutral ground in the middle of this amazing hobby where the water garden meets the Koi pond. This next generation of "Koi Pond Construction" is possible with our revolutionary hybrid pond kits, from The Pond Digger.

Imagine a biological waterfall filter that is easily back flushable and takes only minutes to clean! The Pond Digger hybrid pond kit systems allow you to manage your pond in such a fashion that you won't need to drain your pond and remove your fish each spring, just to manage your water quality. Exotic Aquatics is an Authorized Pond Supply Dealer for The Pond Digger hybrid koi pond kit systems, water treatments and premium fish foods.

Disappearing pondless waterfalls

Now, for those of you who want a waterfall but aren't sure about a water garden or a koi pond due to space, time or young children, there's always the "disappearing pondless waterfall". This special disappearing pondless waterfall system includes the waterfall, a stream, rocks, gravel, and aquatic plants that you would have in a pond, but no fish and more important no water deeper than an inch or two! That's why it is called a disappearing pondless waterfall!

Disappearing pondless waterfalls are perfect for schools, businesses and those who want a front yard waterscape, travel frequently, have young children or limited space. It's called a disappearing pondless waterfall because the water does not form a pond, instead disappearing into an underground "pondless" reservoir beneath rock and gravel.

The water is pumped to the waterfall, then down a stream and disappears into the "pondless basin", which contains the pump chamber and pump. The modular equipment in the pondless waterfall basin beneath the rocks and gravel is strong enough for more than ten adults to stand on.

The disappearing pondless waterfall appeals to those who have limited space or want curb appeal, but seek an alternative to a pond. We have had the privilege of creating disappearing pondless waterfalls on two Extreme Makeover Home Editions for ABC-TV in 2004 here in Southern California, one of them in our very own city, Redlands, California.

The pond and waterfall construction crews at Exotic Aquatics, referred to as The Pond Diggers^®, have hosted more than two dozen Ponds For Schools programs at schools in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. These Ponds For Schools programs became mainstream when the liability-free disappearing pondless waterfall hit the scene.

Also in the spring of 2004, Exotic Aquatics participated with a team of Certified Aquascape Contractor Review Board members to build a water garden display for the Epcot International Flower and Garden Show at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

Summer of 2005, The Pond Digger^TM led his regional Certified Aquascape Contractor team to a first-place victory in the North American Waterfall Building Competition, which took place during a Pond Business Industry Convention near Chicago, Illinois.
