The guys at Premier Ponds have done two terrace ponds for me and both are a work of art in my opinion. The waterfalls make the ponds, along with the plantings and fish tunnels. There are not many people out there who work on small, backyard ponds. I highly recommend Premier.

Our old pond liner had developed a leak. Premier ponds evaluated it, suggested some changes to our original pump system, and we agreed on a date to replace the liner and plumbing.
The very polite and helpful crew arrived right on time and completed the work in one day. After the pond was completely re-filled some liner was showing above the water. Premier ponds came out and without question adjusted the rock surround so that no liner now shows. We are very pleased with the finished product and would use them again.

Everyone at Premier Ponds has been great. Andrew is always very responsive and his entire team are professional and courteous while on site. The end-product is beautiful and my clients have been very happy with their services. I’d highly recommend them.

The Milk Or Dye Method
Use a gallon of milk or non-toxic dye to locate a pond leak. Pour the colored liquid from the top of the feature and watch where it goes. If there’s a hole, the milk or dye should flow into it and out of your pond.
Sodium Bentonite Clay
Sodium bentonite clay, a non-toxic, natural mineral, is a cost-effective sealant for large ponds. It can be used in any pond condition, including those with water, fish, plants, swimming ponds, and ponds that can’t be drained.
