Backyard ponds, patios and fire pits in Athens, AL
Chris built his own backyard over a lot of years: a koi pond with a waterfall, a sauna, a place to sit at the end of the day. People who see it ask who did it. This is that, for your yard. Ponds and water features are the specialty. Patios, fire pits, seat walls and small structures come with it.
from $3,500

Common questions
How much does a backyard pond cost?
A small pondless waterfall starts around $3,500. A koi pond with a proper skimmer, filter and waterfall usually runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on size. We price it after we see the yard.
How much does a paver patio cost?
Plan on $20 to $30 per square foot installed, so a 12 by 16 patio lands around $4,000 to $6,000. Walls and fire pits add to that.
How long does it take?
A patio is usually a week. A pond is one to three weeks. We tell you the schedule before we start and text you if it moves.

- Lawn care from $45 per visit
- Flower beds and planting from $450
