What Effects The Cost Of a Pond?

Oklahoma Ponds and water features are a beautiful addition to any home and will be where you spend the most amount of time. Make sure you pick a pond/water feature that is right for you and your space. This blog is going to walk through most of the different variables that can affect the cost of an Oklahoma koi pond and help you set realistic expectations of the total cost. 

We’ve all been to a high end restaurant that has lobster on the menu with “market price” as the cost. Since we don’t know the exact cost of the lobster, most of us opt out of it. This goes for ponds/water features too. Money and budget are already tricky to deal with, and it’s especially true when a contractor is giving you the runaround. We believe in a very open and honest process here at Continental Ponds, and pricing is no exception.  Whether you’ve got a set budget in mind, are in the beginning stages of your water feature project, or want to know the cost to build a pond, we’re here to be a transparent voice.

Base Price For An Ecosystem Pond by Continental Ponds

Continental Ponds base model ponds with installation starts at around $5995.00. The more complexity, upgrades, and features will affect the price. We urge that you don’t make a fast decision on your pond do your research. Don’t be fooled if it sounds too good to be true it is!

Interaction Areas

Interaction Area

​The is place in the water feature that you walk up and interact with the feature. An interaction area can be a large flat stone where you and your family sit and put your feet in the water or feed the fish. A flagstone area for seating and a firepit or a set of stone steps to access the feature more easily.
​
There are a lot of ways for us to build a spot for you to interact with your pond. The more elaborately you build, the more that will affect the cost of the pond.

Stone Selection

Accent Moss Boulders

If you like Moss Rock you're in luck as it is the most cost-effective stone used on our Oklahoma water features. Of course, the size of the stone affects the cost as it is purchased by weight. The larger the stone, the more involved the process is to maneuver and position that stone.

​Another thing to keep in mind is the access to the pond location. Can we get equipment in the gate/fence to the location in which the pond is being built, or do we have to hand carry the rocks in?  These are just a few things that are going to affect the cost.

Driftwood Accents

​When adding driftwood to the feature cedar, cypress, and juniper are species of wood that will last a long time. How are you using the driftwood? Is it going to be small accents that sit on the edge of the pond or is this a huge piece of wood that is a major component of the pond? The addition of a large stump of driftwood can take half a day to maneuver and manipulate the driftwood into its final position with heavy machinery. The goal is to make the stump look like has been there a hundred years and grew out of the side of the bank. What we do artistically with the driftwood comes with a whole different price tag than a simple piece of driftwood on the side of your pond. 

Driftwood Waterfalls

Fish Caves

Fish Cave

In Oklahoma, we have a ton of predatory birds; unfortunately fish are easy pick'ins if your pond does not have a fish cave. We build your pond accordingly to protect your fish, adding a fish cave will ensure your fish have a place to retreat when scared or hibernating and be protected from predators above.

​A fish cave is a structure built into the bottom of the pond to provide cover and can be built simply or elaborately as your budget allows.
