My Passion Is Ponds, Water Features And Having Fun... Naturally!
Water Features by Gerard is based in Easton, PA and we are premier pond building experts. Our expertise and demeanor on the jobsite is a sought-after contribution to any exclusive installation project. We have been welcomed to lend our expertise to projects across North American and Ireland.
As a rule, most pond contractors visit the customer’s premises as part of a “design consultation” to discuss location, size and type of water feature desired. We don’t.... If a customer would like a design consultation, we set up an initial appointment (at no charge) for them to come to our garden so they can see first hand the wonder and beauty of what is possible in a small space. We feature our “piano falls” as well as another fountain and a pondless waterfall at the entry to our home property. As we go to the side yard we see the deck-side pond; cross the glass bridge over the pond to the deck; and work our way back to the “large swimming pond,” with falls and wetland filter and statuary throughout.

My Passion Began With A Goldfish, & Bloomed Into A Lifestyle !
It all began over 20 years ago with a goldfish that had outgrown our aquarium. It had grown so large that swimming and turning in the tank was difficult—if not impossible. A larger tank was not in the picture at the time as we continued to build our interior decorating and painting business in a small house in Easton, Pennsylvania. So, the poor fella had to go.
With apologies and a sorrowful parting, I released him into the nearby river one afternoon, thinking it to be the most humane way to say “goodbye.” Upon his introduction to the wild new world, he just stayed there in the shallows, looking up at me and seemed to be saying, “Don’t leave me!” I finally had to walk away, miserable and crying like I was at a dear friend’s funeral. Returning home, I was struck with a solution when I looked into the garden! I could dig a hole in the backyard, line it, fill it with water and move my goldfish outside! Literally running back to the river shallows where I had released my old friend, I could only hope he was still there and I could bring him back home. He was gone. In the wake of my experience I was resolved to never have to leave another fish friend on his own in the wild. |
And so began my journey towards "Living The Pond Life" and introducing new customers to the Pond Lifestyle !
Well You Can't...
Let Us Create The Backdrop For Your Memories !
I’ve been in the pond business for about 20 years, and boy, what a wonderful, smashing adventure it’s been! To think that I get to play in the dirt and move rocks around and get paid for it is crazy, but that’s what I do. It’s pure joy, fun and excitement, and I am at my happiest when I am building my ponds. We begin with the idea that a water feature should look as natural as possible. It should appear as if the pond or stream or falls were there before the house or garden was built. “Volcano Waterfalls,” or steep berms at the headwater of a feature, absolutely kill a natural appearance.

Although steep berms at a waterfall can be “softened” by stone or softscape that meet the eye at a higher elevation than the start of the falls, the stream course must still be dug into and not be elevated above the surrounding landscape.
