Five stars all around! I have had my backyard fountain over 10 years and Justin is my go to when I have problems. He is quick to respond and fit me in his schedule. He had given good advice in helping me maintain it myself for small issues. For bigger issues - like the time the racoon got into the reserve tank and ripped the float valve off - he came with needed parts to fix. Highly recommend! read more

This was a cold call for me, but I'm so glad I did. I was having UV problems with my pond & Justin was able to come out & set things straight. Beaver Creek was professional, informative and enlightening. My pond is getting back to its old flow & I'm so happy. I know my fish are happier too.

Justin was on time, gave me the price up front, asked me questions and proceeded to fix several issues step by step. Thoroughly recommend Beaver Creek Aquatics read more

I had an emergency for my koi pond. I contacted every single koi pond business. Justin responded immediately. He calmed me with expert advice and the came out quickly and repaired the issues. He and his assistant Anton were incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. My koi and their shark friends are happier than ever. What an amazing experience. read more

Working with Beaver Creak Aquatics has been seamless and the results have been an exquisite lily pond with fish to enhance the zen of it all. Thank you Justin for making my vision come to life. The beauty of the pond brings such joy to all. read more

Update to my recent review... Justin was back out today for the follow up to the Service that we had on Monday. Everything is working great, but we definitely did not agree to the costs for today. I did not haggle with him for the cost on Monday because it was short notice, and we were working better than we had in a while when he was done. For clarity, the Service on Labor Day was Justin's idea, not mine. I was ok with next available. On Monday Justin CLEARLY stated to me that he was including today's visit in his cost. So at $600 I assumed $200 hr., for the 2 hours on Monday + another (1) Hour today. I work for a Commercial GC, so I don't need to be lectured about Hourly Rate, Burdened Rate, Operational Cost that I don't see in my site visit or even opportunity loss when he is at my house vs. another Client. I get all of it, and I was not thrilled with $600, but understood this is his living and I got everything I needed out of the visit. The point is that he did not honor his commitment that he made on Monday. My recommendation is that anyone doing business with Justin get all costs worked out up front, as it feels like he is making it up as he goes. And if you can get it in a text, so that you have his statement in writing even better. Don't want to distract from knowledge and ability, but from someone who makes decisions on what costs to pass along to Clients a dozen times a day, he would have been well served to honor the commitment he made on Monday. read more

We very STRONGLY recommend Beaver Creek Aquatics and the owner, Justin Beaver. Yesterday we had a problem with our residential fountain. We left him a message just before noon, and he called back before 5. He scheduled an 8:30 appointment today, showed up right on time and had our problem identified within 10 minutes, went right to work on it and had the fountain running better than ever all in less than an hour - at a very competitive price quoted in advance so we knew what to anticipate. We are extremely pleased with his responsiveness and courtesy and appreciate his knowledge and expertise. We plan to schedule him for regular routine maintenance. If you have problems with your fountain, be smart and call Justin first. Another good thing - he's not affiliated with any kind of referral service. You deal with him start to finish. read more

Justin helped get our pond and waterfall looking clear and beautiful. He replaced our pump at a very competitive price. He is professional and friendly. read more

Justin is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. I had an issue with my pond, gave Beaver Creek Aquatics a call, and Justin was able to stop by within the hour. He took the time to explain the root cause and taught me how to fix it on my own in the future, as well as go over basic maintenance to help with the health of my pond. Highly recommend working with him. read more

I've been using beaver aquatics for two years now. At first, my pond was a disaster, very dirty with all kinds of nasty stuff growing out of it. The owner Justin gave us an affordable estimate and now he maintains my Pond on a weekly basis. He installed aerators and a Beautiful fountain in the middle of the pond to keep the water circulating. Now it looks amazingly clean.Fish are healthy and so are the ducks. The owner Justin is awesome to work with. He's super knowledgeable and is always available. read more

I enjoyed working with Justin very much. He is prompt, professional and polite. The old pump in my waterfall needed to be replaced. Even though it was a discontinued model, he knew how to locate the same pump. Within 1 week he had my waterfall up and running. I would call him again in a heartbeat! read more

Justin was super knowledgeable and helped guide me on what to do to get my pond back in shape quickly! He was great to work with and provided a lot of helpful education so I can keep my pond in the best shape possible. read more

Beaver Creek has been maintaining our koi pond for over a decade now and has done a great job. They've handled monthly maintenance as well as some of the larger clean-outs and upgrades we've needed, including managing and installing new hardware and pumps as necessary. If you got a koi pond and you're looking for maintenance, I can recommend them. read more

Justin has maintained our koi pond for years and is reliable and knowledgeable. We have 25+ year old healthy koi.

Justin came in to help us out with a water feature that had been installed by another company and wasn't working. Justin diagnosed the problem, put together a plan, and helped us to have the water feature running better than we could have hoped for. I highly recommend Beaver Creek Aquatics for your pond and water feature needs! read more

I have used Beaver Creek Aquatics (BCA) twice for two different reasons. Both times Justin was prompt, explained the issue, and provided helpful tips next time the same issue arose. Of all the pond maintenance around SD that I contacted, BCA was the only one that responded timely, and am glad they did as their great service provided me with peace of mind. read more

I have been paying for weekly pond maintenance service and it's become pretty obvious that Beaver Creek Aquatics has not been fulfilling their end of the contract! I have asked for a heads up when they are on their way out many times, have even called their office, with no call back! Do not use this company! They are not honest! read more

I can't give Beaver Creek a higher rating but 5, but Justin deserves a 25. over Labor Day weekend I was having a crisis with my koi pond and Jason was nice enough respond to my panicked call. He came right over and evaluated the problem and helped me make things better. he is very knowledgeable and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. I was very thankful for his help and I am having him come back to maintain my pond. you can't find many people that are dedicated to their craft and willing to help. read more

My koi pond was leaking and I called Beaver Creek. Justin came and very thoroughly explained what he thought was the problem and very thoroughly explained the various ways to correct the problem. He recommended a very measured step by step approach which worked, the pond leakage stopped without any drastic digging or rebuilding. I appreciate his conservative approach to problem solving and professionalism. The man knows his ponds, I highly recommend him to anyone with a pond problem. read more

We called Beaver Creek Aquatics (BCA) to get an estimate to clean our pond. I wasn't home when the BCA rep showed up and my elderly parents showed him where the pond was located. For 30 minutes he tried to convince my parents we needed to spend $40K to redo the pond. The worst part though was that he broke one of the pipes on our pond pump and then he charged $170 for the consultation (he didn't fix the pipe he broke). I wouldn't recommend BCA to my worst enemy. read more

Justin has transformed our pond from rocks and algae to a vibrant environment with grasses, water lilies, and a healthy beautiful school of fish. He is quick to respond to issues either in person or by text. I highly recommend this service. read more

I've been very happy with the service I receive. Justin takes care of issues before they become big issues. I've invested lots of money with my Koi and want them health. even with the recent rain we've had Justin still showed up to service my pond. I use to do the service myself but I really didn't have the time. Now I can just go outside and enjoy my pond. I would highly recommend Beaver Creek Aquatics. read more

I am so grateful that Justin was able to help us shut down a multiple pond feature so it would drain naturally and safely and then disconnect and cap off the old electrical pump. I initially attempted to find ANYONE who would respond to my inquiries regarding this job to no avail. Thankfully Justin came out to assess the issue and gave us a very professional assessment and quote. We are completely satisfied with his work and I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

This company and its owner, Justin Beaver, gets 5 stars+. I've never, ever been more satisfied with a company I only contacted from information on the Internet. We have an unusual indoor fountain, hasn't worked in a year. I paid two different companies to solve the problem. They failed even with new pump costs. I sent Justin a note suggesting this was a small job, but he responded within a day to my inquiry, gave me a price, came at the exact time he promised and diagnosed the problem within minutes. Minutes. Fixed the problem with a simple solution that only a trained professional could do. The downside is my wife thinks she wants to marry him! This guy is the real deal. If you have anything inside or outside your home that is water related - ponds, waterfalls, fountains - this is your go-to person. You will thank me. James T read more

This company is awesome. They were really quick to respond to my request for help with my koi pond. Justin is very knowledgeable and friendly. He installed a new pump today and did an excellent job. They are going to do maintenance on my pond from this date forward. I highly recommend this company! read more

As a person whose new home has an established but neglected pond I needed some advice on bringing it back into balance. I also needed someone to explain to me how I should maintain it. It was a lucky break that I called Beaver Creek Aquatics. The office squeezed me into an already busy day. The owner, Justin is a walking encyclopedia about all kinds of bodies of water and the things that live in them. If it matters, he also has the professional degrees to back it up. He considered my knowledge level (minimal at that point), my enthusiasm and my budget and explained what I needed to do to get the pond and its plants and fish back in shape. He carries his own line of maintenance products in the truck, saving me the time and gas to locate them. Together we made a schedule of daily, weekly and monthly tasks to gradually bring the pond back into balance. This visit was money well spent. I feel secure knowing I am doing things correctly and know how to get the products I need to keep things balanced. I also know who I can depend on in an emergency. Justin's guys also provide regular maintenance for people who don't particularly like mucking around in their pond or have the time to do it. I highly recommend Beaver Creek Aquatics. read more

We are having some problems with the skimmer on our koi pond holding water and keeping pressure. I called Justin out and he was very nice on the phone and very prompt with coming out. The first thing I didn't like is that he charges $85 just to come out. So no free estimates.... but we were pretty desperate to figure out the problem. Once he was here, he gave us assessments that we already knew about. For pond repair issues, I would rate Justin a 2 stars because he didn't seem that knowledgeable. I gave him an extra star because I think he would be great at pond cleaning and maintenance, if you need that sort of thing. read more

i hired Justin Beaver to trouble shoot why I was losing water in my koi pond. The cost was $85 to come out. Took him no more than 20 minutes to tell me the leaks were around the simmer and waterfall. Cost to repair would be $415, not icluding the de-chlorinate liquid ($30) and pre-cut filter ($20) and will take 3 - 4 hours. Parts used were minimum, stainless steel hardware (nuts and bolts) and waterproof caulk (mostly labor). Clean up was left for me. Noticed pond continued to leak. Called Justin who came back and told me leaks were coming from the liner. Apparently, the assetment of the problem was too premature, should have taken the time to be more thorough. I could have decided then whether to repair th epond or not. Lastly, repair was done by dad who parked his truck on the driveway (brick pavers) which left oil stains patches. Bottom line, be careful on who you hire too expensive for what you get. I will also never use him again. read more

We have a 2,500 gallon pond/waterfall with 5 koi. We battled string algae for years, so we decided to turn the fight over to Justin at Beaver Creek. He did a full cleanout, filter upgrade, and then has been doing weekly maintenance. Water has been clear ever since! A pond is a fairly complex chemistry experiment, and you need to know what you're doing if you want clear water and happy fish. Think of Justin as a master chemist who keeps the ever changing pond water in balance. We recommend him. read more

I've been a customer of Justin's for over two years. I have a large saltwater aquarium he has taken great care of it. Have never lost a fish I have found Justin's prices to be very competitive. I check them at least once a year I would recommend his service if you have an aquarium or a pond. read more

I called Justin at 8am, and he was able to come out to look at my koi pond within 2 hours. He was upfront about the service cost, and was able to trouble shoot and successfully fix my pond issue within the hour. I am so happy because I am leaving on vacation tomorrow, and needed it working before I left! I had called another vendor who I left a message with, and they called back to schedule after my pond problem had been solved. Very happy with the promptness of service, level of knowledge, and that my pond is working great!! I also got some great tips to keep it running better in the near future! read more

Justin seemed to know what he was doing. Showed up on time and was very thorough when going over everything. People complain about pricing but I found it to be competitive. Not the cheapest and not the most expensive. He informs you on what you should do for upkeep to avoid bigger more expensive problems. read more

Justin you put the filter together wrong. Has nothing to do with the fact that you couldn't give us a heads up call the day before you were coming and couldn't accommodate only Thursday or Friday appointments as requested. Now that you bring that up, so will I. It wasn't three weeks after you came out that we noticed the filter, it was less than 2, and we didn't notice until some water had evaporated and it started making noise. I appreciate your argumentative rebuttal, but I waited for a return call about the filter and you never called back, and why the hell would I pay extra for you to come and fix something you were too incompetent to put together correctly in your rush to leave within your 1 hour of paid service. You rush your service, don't pay attention to detail, don't return calls and apparently argue back on yelp with all your unsatisfactory reviews. So there's my update and revised stars. My recommendation for you is return a call once in a while and provide better customer service. read more

I am so glad that I came across Beaver Creek Aquatics! A friend recommended him to me, and I am so thankful. I had a pump that needed replacing as well as a maintenance overhaul. Justin was punctual, professional, and got the job done! I am pleased every time he comes to service my pond. Highly recommended!! read more

Our pond looks like brand new - Justin was able to revitalize our pond when the water was full of sludge and algae. It was completely opaque and he was able to clean it out perfectly, fix our pump filter, and provide us with the right additives to keep it looking perfect. All of our fish and turtles survived the process perfectly. Although his rate is not cheap, you get what you pay for. He does an outstanding job and even came back out to ensure the pond was crystal clear. We will continue to use Beaver Creek for all of our pond servicing needs!!! read more

I've had a professionally installed pond for 15 or so years. I've used another pond contractor from the day it was installed. But unfortunately that contractor wasn't very reliable. Too often I would call and not hear back from him sometimes for weeks. He did a great job, but just wasn't reliable. Someone in my neighborhood recently mentioned they used Beaver Creek Aquatics and so I researched the company on Yelp! and saw many favorable reviews. So I decided to give them a try. I called over a holiday weekend, but heard back promptly on the first business day following. Justin is who the owner/operator was very professional on the phone and scheduled a consultation later that day. That went well and I scheduled a maintenance of my pond for the following week. Though Jason had to delay his arrival by a couple of hours, he contacted me in advance and explained the circumstances that caused the delay. No worries there. When he did arrive he was professional and very knowledgeable. He gave me some great biology type advice both about the pond ecosystem and about my fish. He was a wealth of information to be sure. No major changes were made to the pond but I'll be having Justin back in the next few weeks to update my lighting system. I'll definitely use him again and would not hesitate recommending him to others. read more

Caveat Emptor. Justin is punctual and does quality work, I'll give him that. His prices are exorbitant, compared to the competition. That's on me, but he pads the bill by not doing all he said he would and then telling you it will cost more. Or worse, not having all he needs and dropping by again and charging you for the visit. I will never use him again. read more

We have used Justin for years now (surprised it's been that long!). He does a good job at coming regularly. I have plants all over the place, and he seems to get to things without thrashing all the vegetation. One suggestion that I have for folks is to either maintain it yourself or don't complain about paying a professional do it. read more
