Pond Repair & Renovation for Kansas City Pond Owners
Most pond repair calls we get sound the same: water keeps dropping, the waterfall isn't running right, the rocks have shifted, or the pond just doesn't look the way it used to. The good news is that almost every problem can be fixed without starting over.
We handle everything from a single liner patch to full pond renovations. If the bones are good, we can usually save the pond. If they aren't, we'll tell you straight up and quote a rebuild that fixes the original design problems.
We work on ponds we built and ponds we didn't. A lot of our renovation work involves older Aquascape installs around Overland Park, Leawood, and Lee's Summit that need filtration upgrades or rockwork rebuilds.

Why Kansas City Ponds Fail (And How We Fix Them)
We see the same problems over and over on Kansas City ponds: shallow builds that freeze damage liners, undersized filtration that can't keep up with summer fish loads, settling boulders that crack underlayment, and waterfall foam that's eroded and started leaking. Most are fixable.
The two most common calls are leaks and waterfall failures. A pond losing more than an inch a day usually has a liner or plumbing issue. A waterfall that's running thin or sideways usually means settled stone or a clogged spillway.
When a pond was built poorly from the start (too shallow, no rock and gravel, undersized pump), renovation makes more sense than chasing repairs. We'll be honest about which one your pond needs.
