Landscaper vs Pond Specialist — This Is Why Experience Matters.
We were recently called to rescue a pond after a classic “landscaper special.” The mistake? A threaded tank flange installed at the very bottom of the pond. As expected, it failed. The result? The entire pond drained out.
When it comes to water management, details matter. That one decision — putting the flange in the wrong place — turned a beautiful pond into a disaster.
How we fixed it:
✅ Flange mounted at the highest possible point — prevents catastrophic leaks
✅ PVC pressure plate flanges — robust and built to last
✅ 2” food-grade plumbing — safe and durable
✅ Dual ball valves — ensures maintenance never drains the pond
Your pond isn’t just another garden feature. It’s a living ecosystem, home to fish, plants, and wildlife. That means shortcuts in the build can have serious consequences.
Why hire a pond specialist?
A landscaper may know paving and borders, but ponds require specialist knowledge:
Correct placement of fittings and equipment
Reliable waterproofing methods
Plumbing that supports both flow and safety
Designs that protect your investment for the long term
At ABBCO, we design and build ponds so the job only needs to be done once — and done right.
If you’re planning a pond build or repair, don’t gamble on a landscaper’s guesswork. Bring in a pond specialist and protect your ecosystem from costly mistakes.
