Ponds are an attractive way to add dimension, character, and interest to your dream backyard. While deciding to install a pond is a simple decision, there are a lot of additional factors to consider to achieve your perfect pond. To make it a little easier, here are some key questions to ask your pond contractor before you get started:
1. What kind of products do you use?
Learn more about the type of products and manufacturers that a pond contractor uses. Ask for some examples of work they have completed so that you can see how the finished product looks and, if possible, talk to past customers to see if they are still satisfied with their pond. This will help you research reviews on their products and make sure they last.
2. Do you offer warranties?
Find out if your pond contractor offers a guarantee on their services. A good contractor stands by their work and should have warranty options as either part of the manufacturer’s warranty or additional builder warranties.
3. How long will installation take?
An experienced pool contractor will be able to give you a fairly accurate timeline for completion of installation, barring any unforeseen roadblocks. Your pond should be installed within a matter of days, not months.
4. What kind of maintenance and support services do you offer?
To keep your pond in good working condition, regular maintenance is key. Ask your Pond Contractor for recommendations about how to keep your pond clean and running smoothly. They may also offer maintenance or additional support services and this is the perfect opportunity to discuss options with them.
