Pond Builder in Belmont, NC

Belmont sits on a peninsula between the South Fork of the Catawba River and the Catawba itself, with Lake Wylie along its southern edge. That geography shapes the work we do here.

Slopes. A lot of Belmont lots fall toward the water. Grade is a gift for a waterfall, because the elevation is already there, but it means managing where stormwater goes so it runs around a pond rather than into it.

Established neighborhoods. The older parts of town have big trees and decades-old plantings. Roots and leaf drop are part of nearly every water feature we build or rebuild here.

Red clay. Belmont has the same Piedmont clay as the rest of the region. On the landscaping project we did for longtime Belmont clients, we tilled organic compost into every new bed before planting, because clay that never gets amended drowns roots.

Because we are local, Belmont customers tend to use the whole range of what we do rather than one service.

• Ponds and swim ponds. New koi ponds and, for larger lots, natural swim ponds.
• Waterfall repair and rebuilds. Many homes here came with a water feature from a previous owner. Leaks, sunken streambeds and flat flagstone falls are common, and they are usually fixable. Start with pond repair and renovation.
• Landscape design. Brian prefers native, low-maintenance plantings with varied texture and color over rows of clipped shrubs, and he likes big specimen boulders. More on our landscaping page.
• Lighting. Low-voltage LED lighting for ponds, paths, trees and the house itself.

Same published prices as everywhere we work. Electrical is not included; financing is available.

Waterfall repair, renovation, landscaping and lighting depend on what we find on site. Brian will explain what drives the cost on your first call. Full details are on the pricing page.
