Editorial policy

Who writes our content

Articles and guides on this site are published under the name of Chris Thompson, owner of Just Add Water, and reflect how our team designs, builds and cares for water features in Central Iowa. Drafts are prepared by Just Add Water's marketing team and our web partner, Break The Image. AI writing tools may help with drafting.

Who reviews it

Jack Anstoetter, Just Add Water's Marketing Manager, reviews every article and page before it is published.

Prices and dates

Prices in our articles are planning figures. The current figures are on our service pages, and an exact quote always follows an on-site consultation. Older articles stay online for their how-to advice, but their prices may be out of date. Each article shows the date it was last updated.

Fish and pond health

Our articles about fish are general education for pond owners. Just Add Water builds, maintains and repairs ponds; we do not diagnose or treat sick fish.

Corrections

If you see something that is wrong or out of date, email info@iowawaterscapes.com with the page address and what needs fixing. We review correction requests and update the page when a change is needed.
