Sweetwater Ponds is not only a FANTASTIC company for water features…they are one of the absolute BEST companies I have ever worked with in thirty years of home ownership, and I’m somebody who does not offer that sort of praise without it having been earned. I cannot recommend them highly enough: they offer top notch craftmanship but also incredible understanding, communication and service. Our story: we had a water feature installed by a landscaping company…and they did a suboptimal job of it, I’m sad to say; their expertise lay elsewhere. After a few months, our pond and waterfall developed troubles: it was leaking water and the pump was shutting on and off even when the water levels were where they should have been. Sweetwater diagnosed the problems with the original build and fixed it. This was not an easy task—it’s hard to figure out which part of a buried water system is leaking, but they worked hard on it until they isolated and fixed the leak. They also expanded the reservoir, which was too small and restructured the pump housing and got our feature running beautifully, far better than the original installation did. I really really wish we’d worked with them for the original build, because they really know what they’re doing. The thing is: they have been unbelievably kind, responsive and helpful since then…and when the old pump burned out the day before a diner party that we were hosting, they managed to get us a loaner pump to use until the new one arrived! That is INCREDIBLE care and kindness, and it is something for which I am deeply grateful. THESE FOLKS ARE GREAT. TRULY. 🩷

Sweetwater Ponds did an absolutely spectacular job repairing our leaking pond system. They rerouted the flow from the lower bucket to the waterfall outflow so seamlessly that I was completely dazzled by the job. I strongly recommend this company for any water feature repairs.

José was meticulous. Our pond was sparkling clean and he took so much time to teach us about how to maintain it. We are so appreciative.

After having a few landscapers offer to re-line my leaking pond to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars I was about to give up. I spotted the Sweetwater truck and dotted down the number. In less than a couple weeks the techs came out to assess what was needed. They took a few hours to dig up the edges of the liner and showed me how the roots had grown over the edges and pushed them down to allow the water to escape on the sides. They pulled back the overgrown and re-established the walls. For less than $500!! They were very professional and even cleaned up the debris and blew it clean. I only wish I could give them 6 stars!

Very happy with Sweetwater Ponds. After poor results with multiple companies, we were extremely frustrated. Got a post card ad and almost tossed it, then decided what’s the worst that can happen? Kristi and Israel took time to assess our problems (which we knew but wanted to see what they’d say), offered solutions, and LISTENED. They corrected a history of poor service, added a bio ball waterfall, completely reworked the bog area and “stream”, and other improvements all at a reasonable price. When something wasn’t just as we wanted, they changed it with a positive “no problem.” Needless to say, we now have a beautiful, clean, functional pond, a company we trust and hope to have a long term partnership.

Just had my first experience with Sweetwater yesterday. They did a full pond clean out for me and the transformation is unbelievable! My pond looks brand new and you would never have known they were there. They didn't leave any trash or debris anywhere. Super impressed with these guys and would highly recommend them! Thanks so much Sweetwater Ponds crew!

I received a card in the mail from Sweetwater Pond’s and it was perfect timing as my new house I moved into had a pond and a waterfall. They came out and cleaned out my pond, leveled out the creek around the area and gave me great suggestions on plants that would be great. They were professional and fast. I highly recommend them.

Kristi was great with introduction information and getting me started! Isreal and Dave were unbelievably patient as I asked my 100 or so questions and I saw how hard they worked cleaning out my pond. I know for a fact that we forged a great relationship and I will keep their phone number handy for my pond needs in the future. Thank you Sweetwater Ponds!

Cleaned out my ponds yesterday and did a fantastic job. Both guys were pleasant and happy to talk through a lot of what they were doing and provide tips for pond maintenance. I received a few quotes for a pond cleanout and they were well priced compared to the other options in Northern Colorado (half of what Colorado Pond Pros Quoted).

Today had the pleasure of working with Sweetwater Ponds, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation with Kristi, to the final touches, the guys demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail.
When it came to fixing our existing pond, Dave and Israel were thorough and efficient. They identified the underlying issues and implemented effective solutions that have restored our pond to its full glory. The attention to craftsmanship and quality was evident throughout the project.
The team was respectful of our property, maintaining a clean and organized work area. We also appreciated their commitment to using environmentally friendly materials and practices.
Overall, we highly recommend Sweetwater Ponds for anyone looking to create or improve their outdoor pond. Their expertise, reliability, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. We are thrilled with our beautiful and functional pond and look forward to enjoying it for years to come.

big dose of algae and muck. Sweetwater Ponds did a full clean out, added several tons of gravel, fertilized the lily pads and provided me with a lot of good information on future care for the pond. The crew were pros and knew what they were doing. Kristi made scheduling easy and the work started/ended right on time. Project price was fair. I HIGHLY recommend Sweetwater Ponds for ANY size job. It was like working with family except no arguments!

Here is another 5 star review for Sweetwater Ponds. Kristi returned my call, answered my email, sent paperwork and let me know when Israel would be arriving. Israel listened to us! He took into account what we said, gave us several options and helped us figure out the best solution for us. We are now loyal customers. Thank you.

We had not cleaned out our pond since we built it 12 years ago and it had gotten a bit out of hand with string algae and general muck from all the leaves and debris falling into it over the years. Sweetwater came in and did a great job and we have crystal clear water once again. Riley the yellow lab is ecstatic! Also, Dave followed up and stopped by a couple days later to check the job and talk about some other general pond topics. Totally happy with Sweetwater!

We contacted Sweetwater Ponds to get our pond cleaned. Our experience from the first call with Kristi was pleasant, efficient, and provided recommendations on maintenance. Then Victor who cleaned our pond was knowledgeable, efficient, and willing to help get our pond up to par. Our pond looked great when he was done. We will be using Sweetwater Ponds for pond maintenance and repairs.

I needed a pound clean out…what I got was a new pond and new excitement for my fish!! After Sweetwater Ponds’ team set up, removed the fish and drained the pond, the process was fascinating and amazing. Existing plants were trimmed and repositioned for more efficient water flow. Existing rocks were repositioned for better aesthetics. A few buckets of river rock and a few new flowers and greenery were added to the pond edges for additional color and softness. They cleaned up efficiently and by the next morning, my pond was clean, pristine, gorgeous and CRYSTAL CLEAR! The team also offered great advice on pond maintenance and fish care, which they know very much about! They are my new pond specialists.

I am beyond thrilled with how my pond looks! I just bought a house with an existing pond that def needed to be cleaned and made pretty again. Victor and Mike did a fantastic job. The pond is night and day better.
Kristi came by about a week before the appt and talked to me about what we could do to really make it pop. She really knows her plants! And they grow their own!
Today Dave came out and brought Hyacinth’s, Lily’s, and Irises Kristi and I had talked about.
He is so knowledgeable about ponds. He really gave me a great crash course in having a happy healthy pond. And very soon we will also have fish !!
Thanks to Sweetwater Ponds for bringing my pond back to life. 💜

Sweetwater Ponds did a great job helping us with our pond. We acquired a nice gigantic pond with our new home and had absolutely NO idea how to care for it or care for the fish. They came out to look at the pond because I could not give them any information and provided us with a quote. Day of cleaning they did a lot of explaining so I could understand the process. I was very worried that my poor fishes would die. They set up gigantic tanks for the fishes and got every last one out, even the terrified new babies. They let me help clean up and use the water on my plants (although they weren’t kidding when they said it was like a fire hose coming out). They taught me how to clean the filters, when to do it, how often to do it and provided me with some updates to keep the pond healthy. All my questions were answered. Kristi is fantastic about getting back to you with any questions via email and Her husband called to check on us a couple of days later to make sure all was well. Since we didn’t know what to expect, the price was shocking, but it was less than other companies we called. The service was amazing and they provided a ton of information and lessons of a pond maintenance. We will use them in the future and if we need upgrades or maintenance we will call them back up again.

Sweetwater ponds was a lifesaver for us (and our fish!). We had an emergency pond situation with a hole in our lining and they took care of the fish, the hole, and did some basic maintence and improvements to get us alp back up and running! The owners of the company stayed on excellent communication with us, and Israel (performing the work) was so friendly and helpful! Excellent Service at a reasonable price!!

Wow. I’m sitting outside now 9:15 pm on a Friday night. The pond is amazing and it is my happy place! Thanks to Sweetwater Ponds for envisioning a new water system. We went from no pond due to bears to a waterfall pond. You guys are AMAZING. So professional and you nailed it! Thank you for seeing a vision we were needing a lot of help with to make it happen! I would recommend your company to anyone!🥰
