Carolina Pondscapes will be donating a waterfeature the week of April 20th to the family of fallen Winston-Salem police officer Sgt. Mickey Hutchens. As a way of giving back to the community, and 'paying it forward', we, along with other contractors, will install a watergarden, landscaping and paving at Sgt.

Plan Now for Aquatic Plants...
Carolina Pondscapes grows our own Aquatic Plants! From a variety of WaterLilies, Pickerels, Iris's, Palms and even Lotuses. If you want to add additional plants to your waterfeature, and would like to get an idea of what does best, call us to discuss many options. Remember, the key to keeping a healthy pond is having at least 60 to 70 percent coverage; this provides a natural filter, along with oxygen, that fights off string algae.
Maintenance Contracts Going Fast....
With the Spring season now here, we are getting lots of calls for monthly and yearly maintenance contracts. We provide pond cleanings and services, as well as installations. We are now booking and finalizing requests for those monthly maintenance contracts, so we urge you to call us immediately to secure a contract. We are also able to offer consultations and estimates for a nominal fee, so hurry!
Ponds For Kids
Carolina Pondscapes is in negotiations with a couple of the local elementary schools to promote the 'Ponds for Kids' campaign. We donate a pond build to a school so the students have a learning tool and environment, and this waterfeature will be there for many, many years as the students learn many scientific facts, with the pond being a focal point.
NC DOT Project
Carolina Pondscapes has been chosen by the NC Department of Transportation to assist in a waterfeature and fountain installation south of Asheboro, NC on Highway 73/220. Our expertice hopefully will be utilized to build and maintain a waterfeature at one of the reststops on the highway, which will allow great exposure to our services and visions.
