I'm so glad I found this company! I bought a home with an older pond that needed some attention, including a new motor and a leak. Clayton and his team took the time to explain how everything worked, were honest about what could and couldn't be promised with an older pond, and their pricing was very fair. Once we got the pond up and running, we discovered another leak. Even though this is a very busy time of year, Clayton came out, found exactly where the problem was, and got it resolved. I really appreciated their knowledge, honesty, and great customer service. I'll definitely be a continued customer! read more

I used this company a little over a year ago, and they did a great job at a reasonable price. I called them back a couple months ago to do some work on my pond and they said that they would have a representative get back to me. I heard nothing back for a couple weeks and called them back and they assured me that a representative would call me back. I heard nothing. The third time I explained the situation and how frustrated I was and they assured me that there would be a call. I never heard back from them and contacted another company. Very unfortunate because I think the work they do is good, but the customer service is miserable. read more

We could not be happier with our pond! We had Clayton come build a 6,500 gallon pond with two waterfalls in our yard and it turned out absolutely stunning! Clayton and his team did such an amazing job. What I loved most about them was that they always brought an abundance of enthusiasm, kindness, and good energy around while they were working on the project. I really could not recommend their services enough! If you are looking for someone to build you a killer pond, don't waste your time calling other companies like I did, THESE ARE YOUR GUYS! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and skilled pond builders. Will absolutely get my cleaning services done by them in the future as well. read more

Affordable Ponds NW is an amazing company. They don't charge to come out and look at your pond. And those companies who do, are a rip off. Clayton came out and told me what I should do to help clear my pond water and it worked. I'll have him back to clean it later this summer when algae is bad. Highly recommend these guys. read more

GREAT GUYS. Excellent service, on-time and thorough. Very reasonable and experts at what they do. I highly recommend this company.

Tristan was fantastic and I can't speak more highly about the customer service and quality of work. Definitely will continue to use Affordable Ponds. read more

Clayton and the team were not only the most reasonably priced of all the contractors I contacted, but the most fun to work with and they over delivered by a mile. They pay so much attention to every detail and truly deliver on what you're looking for. For me it was to ensure my koi had more living room and caves to feel at home as possible and they went above and beyond. Can't thank him and his team enough for the amazing work they did! read more

I was having some flow issue with the water feature in the backyard. Clayton came to take a look and said he would try to do a deep cleaning but couldn't guarantee if it would fix the problem. Given the feature was built many years ago , I thought that was an acceptable answer. On the day of the job, he texted me saying he was running a bit late. I appreciate when this professional gives me a heads-up. He showed up shortly after. Clayton is a super nice guy who works hard. He is a kind of a guy that I can honestly recommend to my friends and family members without any hesitation. His attitude and communication are excellent. His work is great too. After working on it for many hours , the water feature is flowing beautifully again. Hire Clayton to maintain your water feature. You won't regret. read more

Affordable Ponds NW - Beautifully restored. Thanks Clayton! - Landscaping Near Me

Never even had the courtesy to respond to several calls. Never was able to get a quote.

Our small pond (750 gal) was over 20 years old, was leaking someplace, and needed a refresh. Clayton took on the challenge. He & Tristan rebuilt the pond: replaced the liner and added rockery and lighting. I couldn't have imagined what they created, and we love it. The men were wonderful to work with, very polite and professional. I highly recommend Affordable Ponds NW! read more

Affordable Ponds NW was a pleasure to work with through the whole process. The owner Clayton listened to what I wanted and then he and his crew exceeded my expectations. Rick McGregor read more

We had our pond built in 2003 and have enjoyed Koi fish in it since then. Over the years, it was always I who did the annual routine cleaning of the biofilters, vacuuming, regular emptying of the pond skimmer net, treating for fish parasites, and pulling up sagging pond liner to keep the water from receding. Not a great deal of work each year but quite hard at times. I could never give the pond a thorough cleaning (requires completely draining the pond), because we don't have the room for a temporary tank to keep the 16-18" fish in. That said, more areas of pond-liner-sag happened and, were losing water and it was reflected in our expensive utility bill. That's when we found Affordable Ponds and called Clayton. Having learned a great deal about pond care myself, It didn't take me long to see Clayton knows his stuff and he was such a pleasant person to deal with, we hired him to do a thorough cleaning, check for leaks in the liner, and re-foam seal the slates on our three-teared stream. We couldn't be happier with his pricing, customer service, honesty, and hard work getting our pond looking beautiful and running efficiently. We highly recommend Affordable Ponds and their services to anyone needing a pond cleanout or repairs. read more

Everything you want in a contractor: excellent communication, professionalism and good value for money. We inherited a pond when we got our new home and didn't know jack squat about ponds and the fishies. Affordable ponds is very quick to respond, answered all my questions with patience and respect (I'm sure I asked dumb questions). One of my favorite things Clayton did was he always kept me in the loop and asked me where he could purge the water, dump the sludge--where other contractors would just assume and not give any thought to the consequences of how it would affect the property or what the owner wanted. This is my first time using these folks and I will entrust them every year to help me keep my pond clean, well-maintained and healthy. With covid-19 they were also respectful of safety and social distancing--a big plus in my book! Thank you. read more

Michael - excellent customer service. Came out on a Friday afternoon and helped me figure out my water feature issue. The owner was great and I highly recommend their service. Thank you again for a wonderful experience and service. read more

We purchased a home in Maple Valley with a water feature - pond and stream. Unfortunately, the pump stopped working a few months later and algae just took over in the pond despite our best efforts to clean and treat the water. Found Clayton and reserved a day for cleaning of the pond and stream. He and his colleague pressure washed the stones, cleaned out the muck, and trimmed back the aquatic plants. The cleaned pond looked amazing! Clayton also provides a great education on pond care and suggested that we could add koi fish in it. Kids were excited to transition from gold fish to koi. We're looking forward to watching the koi grow and having Clayton help us with yearly pond cleanings. Highly recommend him for his customer service and professionalism! read more

We had a koi pond filter challenge on our hands, and APNW did an incredible job getting our system back up and working. Their customer service was excellent, always friendly and communicative over the phone. Their tech expert (Clayton)--was a consummate professional and so helpful towards finding a sustainable solution for our 7 fish friends. Clayton also provided helpful cleaning knowledge and strategies for keeping our pond a healthy ecosystem year round. I'll definitely be contacting APNW for any future pond maintenance and questions. Fantastic team--one you will not regret working with Thank you APNW! read more

Ok, so I've gone back and forth on whether I should write a review here, but have decided as a (first time) customer, I would want to know. I had my pond cleaned a few months ago. I cannot speak to the pond building of this company because I only had mine cleaned. Over all, I am not happy and this is why. 1. The sludge from the pond was drained onto my back lawn and left there. I had to clean it up. 2. I had an expensive pair of pruners that disappeared, then ultimately brought back to me but only after I had to call the company a month later to tell them that the skimmer basket and the filters beneath were not put back in proper and were just "floating" in there. I only discovered that when I went in to clean it and was not able myself to get down into the bottom of the filter area to fix it. Then and only then, did the same tech guy come back and had my pruners which he said he "accidently grabbed". Not sure how that happened as they were on my potting bench and no where close to things he had brought with him. I am missing a couple other things, but I cannot assume the same thing happened, so I won't. I'm just not happy and won't be using this company again. The price wasn't worthy of the service. read more

Tristin and Clayton replaced our dead pump and installed a new filtration system to the joy of our goldfish. They were great to work with, left the area spotless, and charged exactly what they said they would. read more

We bought our home six months ago and didn't know anything about maintaining a pond. We called Affordable Ponds NW to schedule a deep clean. They were easy to contact and quick to set up an appointment to come out. On the day of service, Clayton came right on time and got to work. He's friendly, knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and walked me through his process. Clayton was here all day (just as he told me he would be) and cleaned up everything once the job was done. I would recommend them 100%. Affordable Ponds NW is an honest, hard working, competent company. Thank you for a job well done! read more

We have had Affordable Ponds NW clean our koi pond for the past 2 years now and they do a fantastic job! Very professional and friendly... plus GREAT skill in cleaning our pond. Our pond was a DIY build by the previous home owner and a bit quirky, but AFNW figured out the quirks and did wonderful clean on it. They also give great advice on products to purchase (not through them, just advice to help) and maintenance tips. read more

We purchased a house with a very large pond and waterfall. We didn't know how to take care of it at all and alot of algae started growing. I contacted Clayton for a deep cleaning and they really cleaned it extremely well. We drained the pond and they power washed all the rocks, got all the leaves out and even removed a few frogs that had taken up residence. Would definitely consider them for annual cleaning. They even did some light landscapping by cutting back the overgrown bushes near the waterfall. read more

These guys are wonderful. I got 3 different quotes and not only were they the best price, they were the most responsive and did beautiful work. From the beginning Clayton was super polite and appreciative and both he and Brad were super kind and patient when my dogs behaved very badly. They showed up on time, got he project done and there were no surprise charges or add ons. It's so rare to find a company with great customer service and excellent work. I recommend them hands down. read more

Affordable Ponds NW - Beautiful new pond and waterfall in my very muddy yard. - Landscaping Near Me

Had a second appointment with Affordable Ponds and again, hard work and beautiful results. I am thoroughly impressed by the care, knowledge and honesty. Clayton is happy to answer questions, explain and even guide, which I thoroughly appreciate as I learn to be a responsible pond owner. My pond has been tough due to years of deferred maintenance by the previous homeowners, but with Clayton's expertise, we're going to get it in shape without ruining the ecosystem. read more

Clayton is very proficient and patient, did an awesome job and also gave tips for maintaining the pond. After we discovered a minor issue might not even relevant to his work, Clayton gave clear instructions and came back to fix it for us. Highly recommend! read more

Still no response it's been about a month. Found another place recommended from several rock yards near us, glad we did he did a beautiful job read more

Having purchased a house with a pond, I encountered a leakage issue with the pond. I reached out to AP for help and during my troubleshooting found and corrected the issue. I cancelled my AP request, but since I have no pond maintenance experience, I asked about hiring them for consultation. Instead, Clayton pointed me to free maintenance advice on his site. That's honesty in action. So today, I didn't need to hire AP, but for any future issues, they are the only one I will contact because of their kindness and integrity as a business. Thanks again! read more

Highly recommend! Clayton and his crew arrived on time and did a great job cleaning my 1300 gallons backyard koi/goldfish pond. At the meantime, they patiently answered all my questions relates to the pond. They also taught me how to maintain my pond by adding chemicals. Very knowledgeable. My pond had a severe string algae issue and even rocks were not visible. They did a thorough clean and my pond was transformed to an almost brand new pond. They spent 6 hours to clean and the results were amazing. If you are looking at cleaning your pond or building/expanding a new pond, affordable ponds is a good option. They also install water feature lighting system. Easy to work with and professional. read more

Clayton and his team are the best! We have a waterfall which was built by another company that started losing water. They did a great job in identifying and fixing the problem and the waterfall looks and works better than ever. We truly appreciate their professionalism and expertise and highly recommend Affordable Ponds NW. read more

I called Affordable Ponds for a pump replacement. Clayton ended up cleaning the pond and stream first. He found the pond had the most sludge he's seen this year. I hadn't had it professionally cleaned for years. He thought the whole thing would take a couple of hours. It ended up taking 5 hours due to non-performance of the pump, which Clayton thought could be made functional again after the pond cleaning. He finally ended up installing a new pump. Now everything works great. The pond looks wonderful. The fish are happy. I'm happy. I told Clayton if I get a turtle I will name it after him. I have found a business I can rely on for maintenance in the future. read more

I contacted Affordable Ponds to replace a submersible pump that I had in my Koi pond. Clayton the owner of this business came to do the work. He gave me me an eta of his arrival and called and let me know he had a job running longer out of courtesy . Clayton came in and really knew his stuff he fixed my pump and was absolute professional and was fine young man! Quality with no hassles! I would recommend affordable ponds to anyone that is maintaining or upgrading a water system. Awesome!! read more

Responded very quickly to my inquiry and came out within a couple days for an estimate. Clayton gave me several suggestions on what I could do on my own and was very honest about what could be done with my pond. Given that I didn't want a total new pond I ended up not going with them but I would recommend them due to Clayton's professionalism and honesty. read more

My experience with Affordable Ponds was excellent from start to finish. I was looking for a company that could clean my pond, replace my filter pump, and make sure the fish were ok during the service. Clayton was prompt and informative at every step, from his visit to write me quote to helping me by text after the work was done. He gave me a range of service options and was clear about the differences in price. He sent photos to help me know what other items I could buy on my own for the pond. He even gave advice on caring for goldfish and made sure the fish were safe during the cleaning. He went above and beyond by being very careful about distancing and wearing a mask, even when it was inconvenient to him while working. My waterfall is now functional for the first time since living in this house. I recommend this company! read more

Just want to echo the sentiments of previous posts...excellent communication from Clayton and quality work done by Brad. Answers emails within 24 hours! Brad was very efficient and let me know when he was an hour away. Checked on where to dispose of old pond water, checked on pump status and water flow and left my pond clean and ready for summer. Also gave me tips on keeping the pond clean. I do not write yelp reviews very often but their exceptional customer service deserves a shout out. Give them a try! read more

I am still amazed by the results as I did not think it was possible for my pond to look immaculate and completely clear! He was responsive, thorough, detail-oriented, extremely affordable and he squeezed me in his tight schedule right away! Thank you for this man, Clayton and his abilties!! read more
