Our California Pond Construction Seminars are effective for those exploring the idea of building their own waterscapes or contracting for one to be built. During this quick-paced and fun event, we demonstrate the steps to building a pond and waterfall or pondless waterfall along with timesaving and cost-effective measures to increase the efficiency and beauty of their waterscape.

The California Pond Construction Seminar events are significant for The Pond Digger because it marks a turning point in our business. June 4th of 2000, was our first build a pond construction seminar. The inaugural event was conducted at Newell Nurseries in Yucaipa, California.

 

How to Build a Pond Seminar

During the How to Build a Pond Seminar event, our team will demonstrate how adding a variety of aquatic plants results in a healthy water garden. We will provide an overview of floating aquatic plants, submerged aquatic plants, and aquatic plants for deep waters and shallow marginal and bog areas.

Aquatic plants not only enhance a water garden’s aesthetics, they are vital to sustaining a healthy waterscape. If applied properly, aquatic plants and pond fish help support the natural ecosystem and reduce pond maintenance to only a few minutes a week.

Gone are the days of improperly balanced ponds with their unattractive green algae. By working with Mother Nature, you can make a delightful and tranquil ecosystem with a waterfall, stream, pond and wildlife that creates a haven and backyard vacation.

Over 33% percent of our waterscape construction business each year involves rebuilding poorly constructed ponds or enlarging our existing ponds when our clients become addicted to how enjoyable and easy a pond can be when the proper ecological elements are in place.

It’s fulfilling for us to help people create a refreshing waterscape for relaxing and a place to re-energize. It is one of our goals, to help teach do-it-yourselfers proper pond construction, installation and maintenance techniques in order to ensure the success of the water gardening and koi pond industry. When a waterscape is installed properly, Mother Nature can do her maintenance magic and we humans can afford to sit back, relax and ponder the meaning of life.
