Renovations
Upgrade your pond or waterfall to match your vision.
Your pond isn’t living up to what you imagined. Maybe it’s older and starting to fail. Maybe you inherited a poorly built feature. Or maybe you’re just ready for something better.
We renovate water features across the Charlotte area. Complete rebuilds, modern filtration systems, and custom additions. Turn your existing pond into the feature you actually want. Timeline depends on project scope, most completed within one to two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions?
What is the Timeline and Process?
How long does a full rebuild take?
Most full rebuilds take 5-10 days depending on size and complexity. We’ll give you a specific timeline after the initial consultation.
Will my fish be okay during renovation?
We temporarily relocate fish to holding tanks with filtration and aeration. They’re returned once construction is complete and water conditions stabilize.
Do I need a renovation or just repairs?
If you’re dealing with constant leaks, poor water circulation, outdated equipment, or structural deterioration, renovation is a complete redo where we address underlying issues instead of treating symptoms. We’ll assess and recommend the most effective solution.
What About Materials and Aesthetics?
Can you reuse my existing rocks?
Yes. We salvage quality boulders from your current feature and supplement with new stone where needed. Saves cost while maintaining the natural look.
Can you match my existing rock style?
We source stone to complement what’s already there. If your feature uses a specific type of boulder, we’ll match it as closely as possible for seamless integration.
How Does Filtration Affect Water Quality?
Can you add filtration to a pond that doesn’t have any?
Absolutely. Many older ponds were built without proper biological filtration. We retrofit Aquascape systems into existing features regularly.
How do I know what size filtration I need?
Based on your pond volume, fish load, and sun exposure. We calculate requirements during consultation and recommend appropriately sized systems.
Will renovation improve my water clarity?
If poor clarity stems from inadequate filtration, undersized pumps, or circulation issues, yes. Upgrading these systems typically delivers dramatic water quality improvements.
Will I Get a Warranty?
Do you offer warranties on renovation work?
Yes. Labor warranty varies by project scope. All Aquascape equipment carries manufacturer warranties we honor and support.
