Pond Repair & Renovation

Make Your Water Feature One You’re Proud Of

Is your water feature no longer as stunning as it was before? Has the water turned murky with algal bloom? Have you stopped spending time in your yard because of it?

A water garden or fish pond doesn’t have to be hard to maintain. You can make yours easy to care for. 

We recommend working with professional pond contractors to restore your pond. This ensures every potential issue is identified, addressed, and prevented for the long term.

Whether you have simple, small-sized, or massive premier ponds, our team here at AquaLife Ponds is happy to help you revive them. Here are common pond problems we can fix for you:

  • Ponds losing water
  • Unbalanced fish population
  • Insufficient water levels
  • Damaged liner edges
  • Pond leaks

We educate you about your water feature and discuss steps we can take to restore it.

A healthy pond ecosystem won’t burden you with heavy maintenance. It can thrive with minimal upkeep and continue to bring joy even after several years.

For your pond repair and renovation needs in Southern California, contact us at AquaLife Ponds. Let’s help you understand better how your pond system works so you can care for it better. 

We need not be your original pond contractor. We’re happy to inspect, maintain, or repair someone else’s work.

Common Water Feature Problems We Fix

Your Water Feature Is Leaking

If your water feature has a leak, we’ll work with you to try and fix it.

Your Water Is Brown Or Green

A simple Drain & Clean may fix the problem, but sometimes that only fixes the symptom.

We’ll find out what’s causing the issue.

Your Pump Needs To Be Replaced

Our pumps have warranties!

When should I remodel my pond?

A pond, no matter its size, is a significant investment. Make yours last a long time.

Pond remodeling may be necessary if your water feature is no longer functioning well. Here are some signs your pond already needs servicing.

Excessive algae growth. Algae rob fish and other pond creatures of the oxygen they need to survive. There are several reasons why algae growth occurs. It could be because there are too many fish, the water circulation is poor, or the ecosystem is imbalanced.

Unpleasant smell. The scent of a backyard pond should make you feel like you’re relaxing outdoors. But if it keeps you out of your yard, there could be a problem. An unpleasant smell can indicate dead fish, stagnant water, or algae accumulation.

Sediment buildup. Too much debris at the bottom of the pond or scum collecting on its top could mean that the environment is unhealthy. You may be overfeeding your fish, so waste has already built up. You can no longer see your fish because the water has gone murky. We can fix this for you.

Wet soil. Soil or ground around your pond that is always wet could be a sign of water leakage. This can occur due to various potential reasons – the edges settling, water bouncing off the pond or a damaged liner. The exact cause must be identified to prevent similar issues in the future.

Unhealthy or dead fish. If your fish are scrambling for air or you see sick or dead fish in your pond, that’s a sign that oxygen levels aren’t enough. Without immediate action, this can worsen algae growth and cause the pond to fail.

I am here to tell you, if you are considering adding a pond to your property, don't think twice!! It will bring you more peace, tranquility and enjoyment than any other upgrade you may consider. With this being said, absolutely the best professional pond builder is Dave Musterly!! His ability to envision your thoughts and bring your dreams to life are unsurpassed by none!!! His crew, professional, positive, respectful and detailed!!!! Their crew Manager, is above and beyond amazing!!! Alex's precision and attention to detail are extraordinary!!! His waterfall building skills, quality of workmanship unbelievable!!! You see, I have a unique and insightful vision to this beautiful home improvement process like no other!!! For I don't have one pond built by Dave or even two.... I represent a very select and limited customer group! Dave has built 3 ponds on my property!!! Dave is the only person I would trust to bring my visions to life!! I am not a commercial business - I am a residential home owner. This last build was probably the hardest!! For it was a re-build. I decided I wanted my large backyard pond to be larger, deeper and to add an even more dramatic waterfall along with my existing stream and waterfall. The new, more dramatic waterfall designed by Alex!! Okay, so this means, Dave had Alex, partially DEMOLISH my existing pond!!! Remove all existing stone, dug my new pond DEEPER and WIDER!!! Replace and add more stone to the rock walls!!! This was a HUGE TASK!! And also entailed MOVING my huge Koi to my front pond for the duration of the build of these priceless animals!! They were moved, one at a time by Alex himself!! Not one Koi was hurt or stressed!!! And return to newly built larger pond was the same!! Not one animal was hurt or lost!!! And these Koi are huge!!! As long as my arm and approx 15 - 20LBS each!!!

All n' all for the ABSOLUTELY BEST PRODUCTS and most maintenance carefree pond experience!! Go with AquaLife!! FOR THE ABSOLUTELY BEST POND BUILDER!! You must choose DAVE MISTERLY!!! He is simply THE BEST!!!!!

This was a VERY large project and I had interviewed a few companies prior to meeting with Dave. Once I met with Dave, I knew he had the vision that I was trying to accomplish with the Dream of My Pond. Dave was able to assemble a team of CAC Expert pond builders who worked non-stop for 3 weeks in December building my pond, waterfalls and multiple streams. Dave also has a secret weapon: ALISON!!! -- she managed, coordinated and oversaw all the details of the entire project and was able to assist in a few finishing touches since the completion of the build. I think without Alison being involved it might not have gone as smoothly as it did; and continues to do so after three "Honeymoon Months" of the Pond-aka LAKE-Installation 🙂 !
