Customer story

Victoria's raised koi pond in Garden Grove

“My son found Wes with Koi Pros online, and Wes built this above-ground fish pond for me. It's come out very nice. Every day my husband will come out here and relax and sit by the pond and enjoy the sounds and beauty of the Japanese-style koi pond Wes built for us. We also use it to water our plants with the fish waste, and our plants are very beautiful because of that. We are very pleased with Wes and his team.”
Victoria, homeowner for 30 years, Garden Grove, CA

Victoria has lived in her Garden Grove home for 30 years. Her son found Koi Pros online, and Wes built a raised, Japanese-style koi pond with a waterfall for her backyard. Her husband sits by it every day, friends come over to see it, and the fish water feeds the garden.

Customer story

A turtle pond rebuilt to run on a weekly back-flush

“Wes and his crew are fantastic. They've been out a couple of times to make it the best possible scenario for everyone. I try to do it as naturally as possible, without chemicals. The bio-filter with the UV light helps immensely. Once a week I back-flush and we're good to go. Clean water. Everybody loves it. The turtles love it.”
Homeowner

A homeowner on her rebuilt turtle and koi pond: Koi Pros added a bio-filter with UV so the water stays clear without chemicals, and the monthly maintenance that used to overwhelm her is now a once-a-week back-flush.

Customer story

A liner leak found the right way, in Long Beach

“They came back about three different times to make sure the leak was in the liner, without just saying, oh, we need to pull the liner out. It could have been a leak in the pipe. It's so clear, and you can hear the waterfall. I would recommend you guys to anyone. Fantastic job.”
Homeowner, Long Beach, CA

A Long Beach homeowner came home to an empty pond. Koi Pros came back three times to confirm the leak was in the liner and not the plumbing before recommending a new liner, then rebuilt the pond with the waterfall he can hear from the house.
