A backyard pond creates a peaceful retreat and transforms your outdoor space into a haven from daily stress. An Aquascape pond can start in the $8-10,000 range and costs can rise and vary greatly depending on some of the variables that you choose.
Cost Factors
Size and Shape – Custom pond designs require specialized lining and materials, increasing expenses. Larger installations naturally cost more than smaller ones.
Features – Adding enhancements like waterfalls significantly impacts the budget. Landscaping plants around the pond perimeter also adds to installation costs, particularly if you plan to stock the water with fish.
Installation Method – DIY kits offer savings compared to professional installation, though they lack the polished appearance and durability that trained landscapers provide. Professional contractors can ensure a more professional look, with a longer lasting quality.
Ongoing Expenses
Beyond initial installation, pond ownership involves regular maintenance costs. Professional cleaning services keep the water clear and healthy. If you include fish, expect additional expenses for their care and feeding.
