Company Overview

Aquastonia was founded in Hawthorn Woods from a personal passion for water features. After moving into a new home, founders Igor and his family discovered the joy and tranquility of their own backyard pond. They realized their favorite family moments—games, parties, and relaxation—all happened around the water. Inspired to enhance their own oasis, they expanded the pond, added fish and plants, and perfected the surrounding landscape, creating their own family paradise. This simple discovery sparked a mission to help neighbors throughout the North and Northwest Chicago suburbs do the same. As a Certified Aquascape Contractor, Aquastonia specializes in building natural-looking decorative ponds, Koi ponds, recreational swimming ponds, and disappearing waterfalls. Their goal is to create more than just a pond; they design personalized backyard escapes that promote well-being and a resort-like lifestyle, supported by comprehensive maintenance programs to ensure lasting beauty.

FAQs

Can you build a patio or retaining wall along with our new pond in Hawthorn Woods?

Absolutely. As full-service landscape construction specialists, we integrate water features seamlessly with hardscaping. Whether you're envisioning a flagstone patio for pondside relaxation, a retaining wall for elevation changes, or a walkway through your water garden, we handle the complete project. This holistic approach ensures your pond and its surrounding landscape are built as one cohesive, natural-looking environment, perfect for our local terrain.

We get a lot of storm debris in Hawthorn Woods. How do you handle that with pond maintenance?

Storm debris is a common local challenge that can affect pond pumps and water quality. Our All Season Maintenance package for Hawthorn Woods residents includes proactive debris removal after major weather events. We also design ponds with debris management in mind, using proper skimmers and filtration. For existing systems, we can assess and adjust your setup to better handle our area's seasonal storms, keeping your water clear and your equipment protected.

What's the difference between a recreational swimming pond and a traditional Koi pond?

While both are beautiful, they serve different purposes. A Koi pond is primarily a vibrant aquatic ecosystem designed to showcase fish, with specific filtration for their health. A recreational swimming pond, or 'natural swim pond,' uses biological filtration instead of chemicals, creating a clean, swimmable area that blends with a separate regeneration zone filled with plants. It's like having a natural, self-cleaning swimming hole in your backyard. We design both to support aquatic life and blend naturally into your Hawthorn Woods landscape.
