Q&A
Can you help with a landscape design that includes a water feature for my Nantucket property?
Absolutely. With over four decades of experience, we specialize in integrating water gardens and koi ponds seamlessly into your overall landscape design. We work with the natural flow of your property, using stone in a naturalistic way to create a cohesive and tranquil outdoor space that fits the character of Nantucket.
My lawn on Nantucket has patchy grass and signs of fungus. How can a water garden help?
While we focus on aquatic features, a well-designed water garden or natural swimming pond can be part of a holistic solution. These features can improve local drainage and microclimates, reducing overly damp conditions that encourage lawn fungus. Our landscape maintenance services can also advise on complementary plantings and grading to help manage moisture and create a healthier, more resilient yard.
Do you service and repair existing ponds and water features on the island?
Yes, we do. With 40 years in the business, we have extensive experience repairing, cleaning, and revitalizing existing water features. Whether it's addressing liner issues, improving filtration, or restoring the natural beauty of the installation, we provide reliable maintenance to keep your pond healthy and beautiful throughout the Nantucket seasons.
