Ecosystem Backyard Ponds work with Mother Nature to provide food, shelter and safety to the birds and wildlife that visit your landscape. A Pondless Waterfall is simply a re-circulating disappearing waterfall and/or stream without the presence of a pond or pooling area. Recreational Ponds are designed for larger areas with a bigger emphasis on wetland filtration, more personal interaction.Fountainscapes are small decorative landscape fountains such as bubbling urns, self contained patio fountains and bubbling rocks.

Hi, we are Net, Charlie (and Faith), owners of Virginia Water Gardens. We LOVE ponds and water gardening! In 1999 we began building ponds and in 2006 we opened Virginia Water Gardens to share with others the passion and joy of water gardening. We are Master Certified Aquascape Contractor and our expert team has over 15 years of installation and maintenance experience and we are pond owners ourselves. Stop by and see us, visit our display ponds and check out the many products we offer the water gardener.
A koi pond or water garden as it is sometimes referred to is made up of many different parts and when those parts are assembled together correctly by a professional pond contractor builder/installer like us at Virginia Water Gardens in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County (VA), we form a beautiful and naturalistic work of art that changes personality with the time of day.
See what our customers have to say about our one of a kind Pond & Waterfall installations and more importantly our dedication to customer satisfaction. Charlie, Net, and the whole team from VA Water Gardens have transformed our empty, oddly-shaped backyard into a beautiful and tranquil spot that draws us out of our house and brings us closer to nature.

We love Virginia Water Gardens! They have been so helpful with the koi pond that my husband built. Always a great resource even if they don't have something in stock they still have great suggestions (they will also order too). They do have some great ideas and a seemingless endless amount of supplies on hand. The fish there are awesome (going on 2.5 years with our koi fish).
They are kid friendly there as well and have fish food (bring your quarters just in case) you can hand feed the koi that live there. So much fun there and gorgeous atmosphere.

A disappointing experience. Beware: I contracted with a local company, Virginia Water Gardens, to rebuild the pond waterfall and to remove the skimmer and install an intake bay. I have used this company off and on over the years to clean my pond and was satisfied with the results. Not this time. The plumbing and liner addition necessary for the interior of the pond was satisfactory. However, the aesthetics of the final product is far from satisfactory.
The crew took liberties to change things within the pond without consulting me. I had to clean up after each visit, I had damage to a stone walk way and the cleaning by the same crew, instead of the usual two man crew, was a washing not a cleaning, and took my equipment without permission. The intake bay looks nothing like the one in the video I was asked to review.
It was installed properly. I expressed my dissatisfaction to the owner more than once. He asked that I let them finish, that they add the rocks around the pond and bay like they fell from the heavens. Well, don't be surprised if the final product looks like it erupted from hell! If you have a vision for your pond, you should stay on site to oversee the process.
My concerns were ignored and no changes made. When your dissatisfaction is met with a wink and a smile, you have just met Charlie, the owner of VIRGINIA WATER GARDENS. I followed up with a letter, but no response until 4 weeks later, after I filed a complaint with the BBB. Still not resolved.

I'm going to call them The Dream Team, Charlie the owner, Amilcar, Armando, Josue, Josephat, and Keith with total of 95 years of experience from Virginia Water Gardens. The team was very professional, patient and efficient. They always showed up on time. They worked very hard and worked hand in hand with me and my wife to reach more than our expectations.
They did a phenomenal job in mocking a real life pond and made it a safe environment for my fish (Nemo, Marlin and Dory) and plants. Before leaving they thoroughly explained the maintenance plan and the whole family were very happy and satisfied with the amazing results. Thank you Virginia Water Gardens for making a dream come true. Since life is short, Home Improvement Loan worth every penny for this;)

This is awesome, awesome place to set up a pond or fountain or anything, and their prices are so reasonable. And their staff are so light and helpful. I told her I had 100 dollar budget, and I walked away under 100 dollars with 4 plants and a fountain attachment. I thought that was great. I will be returning again very soon.
