TYPES OF FISH PONDSSpring Creek can assist you with a variety of pond projects including:
NATURAL PONDS by BIOLOGISTS We are Biologists who design completely natural ponds by using creative scientific techniques that result in the highest quality aquatic habitats possible from aesthetic, biological and economic aspects. Knowledge is our primary tool instead of equipment, filters, chemicals and additives. Take time to read our thoughts and technical information in this site to see the knowledge we offer. The Planning - Design guide , Faqs , Technical Faqs and Myths pages are full of insights to help you develop the pond, stream or lake of your dreams.
Along with the trophy fishing ponds and lakes we have become well known for, we also design: SWIMMING PONDSSince we had already developed techniques to make a pond colder than normal, we realized we can also design ponds to be warmer than usual. This would be perfect for swimming and warm water habitat. Ponds for swimming are becoming increasingly popular since the water stays as clear as the rest of our designs, and swimming ponds cost roughly 20 % of what a pool would cost! There are also the added benefits that you can have a beach along a swimming pond, as well as ponds are very low maintenance when built correctly. Additionally, our ponds can be integrated into the heat pump for your home to save on your heating and air conditioning. Your house stays cooler while your pond warms for swimming. COMBINATION PONDSWith careful planning and design, we have also developed techniques to allow certain areas of a pond to warm for swimming while keeping a large cold area for fish such as trout. This all-in-one design is our most versatile habitat for people and fish. GARDEN PONDSWhile our reputation is built on complex larger ponds and lakes for fishing, our proprietary techniques lend themselves very well to the more personal size ponds used in landscaping. We have developed a special pond design technique for very small ponds to maintain heavier populations of ornamental fish without the significant added expense of pond filters. These science based techniques allow the owner to save money when compared to the usual liner and filter type pond designs. Our pond designs utilize principles of aquatic biology and chemistry to be much more efficient and lower maintenance than the typical garden pond. Best of all is the fact that your garden pond will be completely natural. You will have no need for commercial additives and your pond will maintain itself naturally. WATER FEATURES and ORNAMENTAL PONDS Spring Creek is leading a trend towards natural water features and landscape ponds for public places such as housing developments, office complexes and golf courses. With our techniques, we provide pristine quality environments that will support fish and wildlife that bring nature into the city. These habitats become star features that attract commerce while providing fish and wildlife habitat. Our goal is to benefit both business and the natural environment.

We look forward to discussing the possibilities of bringing your water to life!
