Nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, there exists a captivating marvel - a 150,000-gallon pond that stands as a testament to nature's grandeur and human craftsmanship. Built on a picturesque hillside, this aquatic masterpiece is the pride and joy of one fortunate homeowner with a passion for Japanese koi and a vision for a tranquil retreat. Fitz’s Fish Ponds transformed this blank mountainside in Pennsylvania and replicated nature’s beauty by designing and constructing a 250ft long stream with 6 pools, spills and waterfalls, all culminating into a stunning 25ft deep 150,000 gallon pond that houses some amazing Japanese Koi. All of the landscaping was done by our FFP Landscapes Team and brought all the elements of nature that surround the waterfall and pond to life. With over 1,000 plantings, this project has filled in beautifully offering these customers an incredible backyard.
A Symphony of Nature's Elements
The journey begins at the uppermost point of the property, where a humble spring trickles forth, marking the genesis of a 250-foot-long stream. Crafted with precision, this stream serpentines down the hill, mirroring the natural progression one might find in the wild. Along the way, six strategically placed pipes orchestrate a crescendo of water, ensuring a seamless transition from babbling brook to rushing stream.
Nature's Canvas: Landscaping Wonders
The landscape surrounding this water wonderland has evolved into a verdant tapestry of life. Over a thousand ferns have been meticulously planted, imbuing the woods with an authentic, untamed ambiance. Majestic trees now stand tall and proud, providing shade and shelter to the vibrant ecosystem below.
The Bog's Magic: Natural Filtration Unleashed
Two bogs, ingeniously integrated into the landscape, play a pivotal role in maintaining the pond's pristine clarity. Acting as nature's own filtration system, these bogs work in tandem, ensuring that the water remains crystal clear and inviting for the exquisite inhabitants.
The Symphony of Boulders
Every rock, every boulder, every stone has been carefully placed to guide the water's journey. As the stream meanders further downhill, the pond expands, revealing colossal natural boulders that lend an air of ancient wisdom to the landscape. This meticulous arrangement is a testament to the artistry that went into the pond's creation.
Illuminating the Night: Subtle Elegance
As the sun sets, the pond transforms into a bewitching spectacle, thanks to the soft glow of one and three-watt lights. This delicate illumination showcases the landscape's beauty in a new, enchanting light, offering a different perspective on its intrinsic charm.
Harnessing Technology for Water Clarity: Evolution Aqua & Flocell
Recent advancements have seen the integration of cutting-edge filtration technology. Three colossal 48-inch filters from Evolution Aqua and Flocell now stand sentinel, tirelessly working to maintain the pond's pristine clarity. In the face of rainstorms and runoff, these mechanical biological marvels are up to the task, ensuring that the water remains inviting and crystal clear.
A Vision Realized
This Pennsylvania oasis is a testament to the harmonious marriage of nature's splendor and human ingenuity. Every element, from the babbling spring to the majestic boulders, has been meticulously crafted to form a symphony of tranquility. As the Japanese koi glide through the water, and the ferns sway in the breeze, it's evident that this pond is not just a feat of engineering; it's a labor of love.
