Choosing a Certified Aquascape Contractor (CAC) is one of the best decisions you can make when looking to have your own backyard paradise
installed. Certified Aquascape Contractors are the most qualified and informed
pond installers in the water gardening industry. When you choose a Certified Aquascape Contractor you are choosing “The Best of the Best”!
• Eliminates routine maintenance by removing debris
before it sinks to the bottom of the pond, allowing
pond construction anywhere, even beneath trees.
• Products like AquaClearer™ bacteria help maintain
clear and healthy water, and S.A.B.™ assists in the
breakdown and reduction of debris in the pond.
• Strong 45-mil EPDM liner is the best choice for
most pond installations.
• Easy and inexpensive to install and won’t crack.
• Promotes health in plant development by
allowing the roots to grow more abundantly and
plants to bloom more freely, consuming excess
nutrients in the pond.
•Fish, like koi and goldfish, can be successfully
kept in water that is only two feet deep as far
north as Zone 4.
• Creates a perfect base for building beautiful, leak-free waterfalls.
• Simple, uncluttered design with no moving
parts to break.
