Serving Indianola and Central Iowa
Pond Builder in Indianola, Iowa
Indianola is south of our Des Moines shop, and if your property has room for something bigger than a backyard pond, we can help. Along with ecosystem ponds and pondless waterfalls, we design recreational ponds you can swim and paddle in, filtered naturally with a wetland system.

FAQ
Pond questions from Indianola homeowners
How much does a pond cost in Indianola?
Backyard ponds start at $12,000 for a basic 6 by 8 foot pond, and an average 11 by 16 foot pond runs $24,000 to $26,000. Recreational ponds start at $103,000 for a 15 by 30 foot pond, 4 feet deep, and an average 20 by 25 foot recreational pond is about $150,000.
How long does it take to build a pond in Indianola?
Most backyard ponds in Indianola come together in a matter of days once we break ground. Larger ponds with long streams take longer, and spring weather in Iowa always has a say. After an on-site consultation you get a clear quote and a realistic timeline before any work starts.
How much maintenance does a pond need?
A well-built ecosystem pond needs less care than most Indianola homeowners expect: a spring cleanout, occasional skimmer and filter cleaning, water treatments, and a fall or winter shutdown. You can do much of it yourself, or book a single maintenance visit from $175 or a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly plan.
What happens to my pond in an Iowa winter?
You can run a water feature through an Iowa winter or shut it down, depending on the feature and your preference. Our ponds are dug to a depth that suits Iowa winters, and our winter shutdown service protects the pump and plumbing through the cold. We will walk Indianola customers through the simple seasonal steps either way.
Does Just Add Water serve Indianola?
Yes. We serve Indianola and the surrounding area for new ponds, recreational ponds, maintenance, and repairs.
