Pond and Waterfall — Washington, D.C
Pond Construction
Aquadon Pond Services upgraded the pond at Kay’s home in Washington DC. We enlarged the existing pond from 4’ x 7’ x 2’ to a 14’ x 8’ x 3’. To accomplish this we had to demolish the existing pond and remove the debris and then install the larger pond.
This is an image of what the pond looked like before. As you can see it was pretty small and hidden.
Kay's Comments: To get my pond working again, I contacted Aquadon, and Don promptly came to my home, assessed needed repairs and enhancements, and made recommendations with cost estimates. From demolition to completion, I witnessed "old school" professional ethics, hard labor, and skilled workmanship.
Pond Lights
Kay had us recreate some of the appearance of the old pond, particularly, a “wall” effect around the pond underneath the capstones, as well as the latest pond-lighting technology, consisting of LED color-changing, remote-control-operated lights.

Pond Waterfall and Pond Filters
The original pond had no filtration, but merely a pump in the bottom of the pond returning water over a small waterfall.
The new pond has a skimmer so that the pump is protected and leaves are filtered out. Water is pumped from the skimmer to the waterfall through three stages of filtration:
(1) UV filter, which eliminates green suspended algae from the water traveling to the bioballs, which contain the second and third types of filtration:
(2) mechanical, consisting of filter pads, which eliminate solid debris; and
(3) biological, consisting of bio-floss contained in a mesh bag, which works by allowing living bacteria to grow on its surface and to absorb nutrients that common algae use for their growth.
Pond Maintenance and Cleaning
Kays’ Comments: Don provided the type of pond that I wanted – easy to clean and maintain – which the original contractor did not provide. The arrangement of the large border and shelf rocks around the pond and the waterfall tiers, with colored lights reflecting at night, added to my delight. In addition, if I had any question or possible issue, he immediately came to check and make any necessary adjustments.
