I struggled with a pond we inherited. We re-dug it, added filtration (we thought), but nothing improved with algae and decomposed leaves… We did too many water changes, lost too many fish, etc. I hired Just Add Water to first clean my pond. They made great suggestions; especially that we add a wetland filter system, but we didn’t understand the benefit until we moved and hired them to create a pond from scratch. Our new pond does include a wetland filtration system! The water is beautiful! It’s clear, hassle-free, our water quality is pristine, and our fish are happy and healthy. We can finally enjoy our pond without frustration. I have learned to leave it to the professionals. Just Add Water is a company that cares about their customers as individuals, and has a true desire to help us enjoy our water features. I LOVE it when the crew comes out to help. They’re personable and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about them, and I can’t say enough about my beautiful new pond!

I’ve worked with Just Add Water for two water features. They have always been good listeners and eager to get the work up to my specs. The Just Add Water Team are very creative and love what they do! They take on any challenge, find a solution and get it done! If you are looking for a professional approach to beautify your yard, I highly recommend Chris, Will and their team for the project!

Excellent customer service! They went out of their way to help me repurpose an existing pond at my home. Although the project never came to fruition, I was very impressed with their knowledge and the extra steps they went out of their way to help me out. They will be my choice for any further work.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value We were so impressed with Will’s skill and persistence in resolving our pond leak problem, as well as with his obvious enthusiasm for this work. He and Clay also did a great job cleaning the pond (and sparing me this annual onerous task!). Just Add Water will be our first call for any future pond-related needs…and we’ll happily provide references.

I have worked with Chris and the guys at Just Add Water on several projects, and refer our potential customers from areas closer to central Iowa to Just Add Water. They are quality pond builders providing excellent customer support.

Chris and his team did a great job on building us a water feature in our backyard. We can sit by it all night enjoying the waterfall sounds and looking at the water flow down the rock river.

We love our new water feature recently installed by Just Add Water! This entire team was great to work with! They gave us a reasonable and honest estimated time for installation, came a week early, completed the entire project in a day, the project cost was exactly what they bid, they had great attitudes and clearly took pride in their work. And now I can’t keep the kids and dog out of the water! It will be a fun summer!

We hired Just Add Water to create a waterfall feature in our backyard. What we didn’t expect was the overwhelming beauty that happened when they were finished! Chris came to our house on a Sunday, no less, to plan our design, and his crew worked on a Saturday after a long week to do our project. Amazing, stunning, and much more than we ever dreamed! Professional, and over the top design, you won’t be disappointed!!

2 years ago Will at Just Add Water came up to Jefferson and talked with us twice about placing a pondless water feature in our gardens. He was very professional and gave us many good ideas.

Response from the owner

Thank you for the great review Johnny. Glad the gardens will be getting a feature soon.

We had a little difficulty getting the job done due to the unusually wet weather. Will made sure that the job was done to our specifications . Will made sure he understood exactly how we wanted the repairs to our pond to be completed. Very professional. We were very pleased with the end result.

Response from the owner

Thanks Karla! It was great to work for you!

The crew & office staff at Just Add Water make the perfect team to create a water feature that enhances your life. If you are just looking for advice, or if you need repairs to an existing water feature, or if you want something totally new for your landscape… Just Add Water is the place to go. They removed our old pond and invented a beautiful fresh look with a pondless system of 3 waterfalls. We’re very pleased and truly impressed with their artistry and sincere demeanor. Give them a chance. You’ll be glad you did!
