Aquastonia Eco Friendly Pond - Design, Installation, Maintenance. Free Estimate. Same day replies. Decorative Naturally, one day we decided to enhance it.

Before we bought our home 16 years ago, we spent our holidays and vacations by lakes or seashores resorts, as many other families. Yet, even with all the sales, discounts, and careful planning, our family of 6 (myself, my wife, and our 4 children) spent between $4,000 and $8,000 on every vacation. On top of everything, quite often we encountered the unavoidable "small" surprises: flight delays, ov

er-chlorinated and over-crowded pools, food poisoning, and just plain bad weather. After we had moved in and settled down into our new home, we realized that it had some hidden extra value-- a small decorative pond in the backyard. We also noticed that most of our backyard activities- games and parties -occurred around our pond. We made it bigger, we introduced more fish and plants, and we improved the landscaping around our pond to increase its beauty and serenity. We spend weekends sipping coffee by our pond, entertaining our friends and family, and holding romantic dates with wine and candlelight. It is so good to have drinks in the afternoon while dipping our feet into the water and watching our children play with fish and frogs. We’ve come to realize that the real vacation is just a few steps away and not just a vacation, but truly Our Own Family Paradise created by our own hands and vision. This is how Aquastonia was born-- with the desire to share this simple discovery and to help others create their own escape to a backyard water paradise. Today we are very proud Certify Aquascape Contractor, to service North and North West Suburbs of Chicago. Our goal is not just to build a pond; we want to help you to create resort lifestyle that would benefit your well-being. Igor Loos,
Founder

Thinking about adding a pond or waterfall to your backyard? Choosing the right contractor matters more than most homeowners realize.

At Aquastonia, over 70% of the projects we take on are rebuilds of ponds that were poorly designed or installed by general landscapers or underqualified contractors. A beautiful water feature should feel natural, function properly, and stay low-maintenance—not turn into a costly rebuild a few years later.

From proper pond depth and filtration to smart placement, stonework, safety, and long-term support, there are a lot of details that separate a professionally built pond from one that simply looks good on day one.

Our latest blog breaks down what to look for when hiring a pond builder, the questions to ask, and the design details that make all the difference in the long-term success of your water feature.

🌿 The best ponds don't look built—they look like they've always belonged there.

A truly natural pond design blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape through organic shapes, natural stone, varying depths, aquatic plants, and thoughtful placement. The result is a water feature that not only looks beautiful but also supports wildlife, improves water quality, and creates a more relaxing outdoor environment.

At Aquastonia, every pond starts with a custom design tailored to your property, views, elevation changes, sunlight, and long-term goals. We believe great pond design should feel effortless, natural, and timeless.

🌿 Thinking about adding a pond to your backyard? Don't overlook the power of live aquatic plants.

A well-designed pond isn't just about water and stone—it's about creating a thriving ecosystem. Live aquatic plants help naturally filter the water, reduce algae growth, provide shade, support fish health, attract birds and pollinators, and add incredible color and texture throughout the season.

At Aquastonia, we design ponds with the entire ecosystem in mind. From water lilies and marginal plants to natural stone placement and filtration, every element is carefully planned to create a beautiful, balanced waterscape that looks like it belongs in nature.
