Is your pond starting to look more like a problem than a peaceful retreat? Over time, even the most beautiful water features can begin to fade—leaks form, rocks shift, and the ecosystem falls out of balance.
At Hoaglandscape, we believe your pond should always feel like a destination—not a chore. Whether it’s a koi pond, natural swimming pond, or pondless waterfall, thoughtful renovation can restore its beauty, improve function, and create a healthier environment for aquatic life.
Why Pond Renovation Matters
Pond renovation isn’t just about making things look better (though that’s a nice perk). It’s about addressing the underlying issues that affect your pond’s health, longevity, and daily enjoyment.
Some of the most common problems we see in the Charlotte and Belmont area include:
- Persistent leaks or dropping water levels
- Crumbling walls or loose rockwork
- Overgrown algae or cloudy water
- Outdated lighting or missing visual “wow” factor
- A pond that just doesn’t fit your space—or your style—anymore
Whether your pond needs a complete rebuild or a few strategic updates, the right renovation can completely transform your backyard.
Signs It’s Time to Renovate Your Pond
Not sure if it’s time to renovate? Here are a few clear signs your pond is calling out for help:
1. You’re losing water (and not sure why)
Leaks are one of the most common reasons homeowners contact us. If your pond’s water level keeps dropping—even after refilling—it’s time for a professional assessment.
2. The pond looks worn out
Rubber liner showing? Rocks shifting? Plants dying back? A pond that looks neglected will feel neglected. Renovation can revive the natural beauty with updated stonework, edging, aquatic plants, and lighting.
3. Water quality is declining
If you’re seeing green water, string algae, or that swampy smell, your pond’s ecosystem may be out of balance. Renovation is a chance to upgrade your filtration system or redesign the pond for better circulation.
4. Your needs have changed
Maybe you want to add a pondless waterfall, include fish, or convert your current feature into a low-maintenance landscape element. A renovation lets us rethink the design based on how you use your outdoor space now.
What Does a Pond Renovation Include?
At Hoaglandscape, no two pond renovations are alike. Each project is tailored to your property, goals, and existing conditions. A renovation may include:
- Locating and repairing leaks
- Replacing or adding boulders for a more natural look
- Installing LED lighting for nighttime ambiance
- Reworking filtration or skimmer systems
- Adding aquatic plants for color and ecological balance
- Transforming an outdated pond into a modern water feature
Whether your water feature is purely decorative or home to koi, we’ll ensure it’s both beautiful and functional.
The Hoaglandscape Difference
We’ve renovated dozens of ponds across Charlotte, Lake Norman, Gastonia, and Lake Wylie. Some had severe leaks. Others had simply been ignored for years. Every time, our clients tell us the same thing:
“I didn’t realize how much better it could look until now.”
As a certified Aquascape contractor with over 20 years of hands-on experience, we know what it takes to build (and fix) water features that are meant to last. Whether it’s a small backyard refresh or a complete overhaul, we treat every project like it’s in our own yard.
FAQs: Pond Renovation & Repair
What are the most common signs a pond needs renovation?
Leaks, low water levels, and worn-out stonework are major red flags. You might also notice excess algae, poor water clarity, or a general lack of visual appeal.
Can I renovate my pond myself?
Some small touch-ups are DIY-friendly, but most renovations—especially those involving leaks, structural changes, or equipment upgrades—are best left to the pros. We ensure your pond is fixed right the first time.
Do you offer maintenance after renovation?
Absolutely. We provide ongoing pond cleaning and maintenance services across the greater Charlotte region to keep your pond healthy, clean, and looking its best all year long.
Can I change the shape or size of my existing pond?
Yes. Renovation is the perfect time to resize or reshape your pond, add a pondless waterfall, or completely redesign your water feature to better match your landscape and lifestyle.
How long does a typical renovation take?
While it depends on the size and scope, many pond renovations can be completed in just a few days. We’ll give you a detailed timeline during your consultation.
