"Really came out looking beautiful."
— Dan & Terri BarbattiI had Clarity Ponds create a short stream, complete with small waterfalls, into an existing pond. I had been wanting to do this for years, but it just never happened. Then my wife fell in love with a water feature that Josh built for Timberwinds Nursery. I knew Josh from a koi club we were both in, so that, plus the quality of his work made Clarity Ponds an easy choice. My wife worked with Josh on the design. Meanwhile I wanted some technical additions. To enhance the health of the current pond, we added water volume. It’s hidden, but important. Teri and I are both very happy with the results. It’s one thing to build a pond from scratch. It’s another to add on to an existing pond and make it look cohesive. Josh was able to do that and it really came out looking beautiful
"Really great customer experience."
— Dan & Linda GamboaI had a leak at the base of the dam in my ¾ acre pond, and out of 4 quotes, Clarity Ponds stood out. They had good online reviews and Josh Hetley came out quickly to assess the problem and advise on a solution. I found him extremely pleasant and not judgmental or condescending like some of the others I talked to. There was no pressure; just simply discussing and finding out what worked best for us. Josh went above and beyond, fixing the leak and bringing in heavy equipment to excavate on the other side of the dam to allow for a waterfall. When another leak popped up later, he addressed that right away too. Choosing Clarity Ponds was well worth it based on the cost, quality, and the one-on-one service. Josh’s personality and the personal touch, along with his very polite and hard-working crew, added up to a really great customer experience. I trust him and plan on using him again, as well as referring him to anyone who needs this sort of work.
"Very nice and professional."
— Steve LipkindI’d been using another company to maintain my koi pond and waterfall. I was having trouble getting them to respond to my calls and emails so I was looking for someone else. I was impressed by the water feature that Clarity Ponds built for Timberwinds Nursery and asked about them. I got an estimate over the phone about how long it would take and their hourly rate. I thought their prices was fine so I didn’t bother getting any other quotes. The guys were very nice and professional. They replaced the burned-out pump with a new one, cleaned out the pond completely, and put the fish back in. I had to contact them again when I noticed an error on the invoice, but it was adjusted right away. Overall, I’m very happy with the work that Clarity Ponds did. I would use them again.

Looking for a Mood Boost?… Just Add Water!
It’s a well-known fact that people are naturally drawn to water—and for good reason. Some of the benefits of adding water to your home environment:
Tranquility
There is scientific proof of water’s healing powers and ability to calm the mind, lower blood pressure, and reduce stress. The sights and sounds of ponds, streams, waterfalls, and fountains are found to be equally as soothing as living on a lake, river, or ocean.
Nature’s Music
The trickle, gurgle, murmur, and splash of running water promote relaxation. They also mask unwanted outside sounds like street noise and neighbors.
A Living Ecosystem
Water features bring together several natural and manmade elements to form a natural habitat for foliage, birds, fish, and wildlife.
Colorful Visitors
Add koi to a pond, or let the water feature naturally welcome a wide array of bird species, butterflies, dragonflies, and local wildlife.
A Fun Playground
A pond or stream is a great place for kids to splash, play, and learn about nature, and for pets to paddle and romp.
