I have done business with Rocky in the past. He built a pondless waterfall for me in the past, he has also did work at my folks house on their very large pond in the past. I was watching over my folks place while they were out of town and the pond pumps stopped working. I tired to fix myself. Then ended up calling Rocky. He had a tech out the next day to replace the main pump. Rocky and his team were lifesavers. My folks have several large Koi.... Thank you Rocky and team!!! They saved the day! read more

Rocky is not an honest contractor, in fact he is currently in a lawsuit and has been reported to the contractors license board. Steer clear of using him for maintenance of your pond as he will most likely kill your fish. Beware and do the checks on him prior to trying to hire read more

My wife and I had been admiring the displays created by Pacific Ponds at the Ventura County Fair for years, and when we finally had the budget to do a complete makeover of our back yard we could make our dream come true, and for less than a bid we had from a competitor. Rocky and his crew created a beautiful pondless water feature that has exceeded our expectations and dreams. We made some changes in the construction process and they graciously accommodated us throughout. Pacific Ponds is the best! read more

Pacific Ponds - We haven't finished the electrical yet, so this is still a work in progress. - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I called Rocky at Pacific Ponds last week when I noticed the water level in my goldfish/coi pond kept dropping... he was extremely courteous and polite and came to the house right away, identified the problem and then sent his crew out on schedule, on time and very professionally went through my entire pond that has lacked any maintenance for 20 years... I am very happy with Rocky and his team and am now considering contracting with them to maintain the pond going forward! Thank you for a great job! read more

Watch out for this rocky guy - he gives a bid then charges almost double at the end. We paid him above our highest estimate and he still refused to answer our calls at end of job since his pump was malfunctioning and he hung up on us, cause we refused to be taken advantage of. I would never hire this guy ever again - I don't know how he stays in business! read more

Amazing work and diligent effort from all involved but Rocky first built up a great customer relationship and helped us understand what our small koi fish pond needed to be healthy. Then he undertook my large backyard project to make the pond three times the size it was when we originally made it to help accommodate our growing koi fish. It wasn't originally his work on our smaller pond but he took on the project and gave educated us before and after to help us care for the delicate environmental factors. Would highly recommend his service to anyone. The work was done quickly but beautifully and I'm so pleased with the results and so are my fish! We even have new babies. Thanks Rocky and co read more

Since my last project and review in 2018, Rocky and his crew have done it again. Now I have a pathway, over 200 feet, which meanders through citrus and fruit trees, eucalyptus and other landscaping. Rocky's work has transformed a pathway which was rough and dirty into a stunning and welcoming work of art and beauty, not to mention walkable path even in the rain. Preceding the pathway, he created another enchanted hillside of boulders and pathways to avoid erosion. I enjoy his creations daily and they have saved my property, especially after the fires since flooding can be so prevalent. Regarding upkeep on the double pond-free waterfall he installed almost 10 years ago, his service is expedient, knowledgeable and thorough, regardless of the need to return for specific adjustments. Rocky is a gentleman of fine character whom I appreciate having at my home. His crew, including Mike, are have fine character consistently professional and helpful. Keep it up, Rocky, I have another project in mind.....: ) read more

Rocky is a star! He has given me so much good advice about my pond, the plants and fish to put in it. And now he has even given me a referral for my sprinkler system. Rocky designs custom ponds, and strives to establish balanced environments that are self-sustaining. He is a great person to also maintain ponds that have been built by others. Keep him in mind. read more

I included a few pictures of the results. Rocky is also one heck of a nice guy and a pleasure to do business with. The 5 star rating "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" couldn't be more accurate. We're absolutely thrilled. Be sure you are dealing with Rocky of Pacific Ponds. There is someone else using that name also and this review only refers to the original Pacific Ponds and Rocky. read more

We have known and used Rocky for years. He is a passionate professional who knows his craft. Would highly recommend him and the business!

I called Pacific Ponds because my waterfall had a broken pump hose and we were afraid of fixing it ourselves. Mike came over the day after I called and went into our back yard and not only repaired the hose but refilled the water reservoir and replaced the rocks around the base. I came home to a flowing waterfall! They are such a considerate group of people. I would absolutely use them again! read more

Rocky and his crew transformed a very steep, difficult to plant and impossible to navigate hillside into a haven of waterfalls with lights and plants. While the crew was here they also terraced the entire hillside with magnificent boulders which are now lined with plants and they also built a stepping stone walkway to get to the top of the hill. Next they will terrace another hillside to prevent erosion and bring access to the plants. read more

Had an idea for the waterfall we wanted, we needed a tranquil, relaxing place to let the day go away.... Called Rocky at Pacific Ponds and within the first visit we had our design. A few weeks later we had exactly what we wanted....but much, much better....Can't say enough about Pacific Ponds. Juan arrived the first day brought in his expertise and artistic approach and in two days we had the most amazing waterfall/pond/dry river bed we could have imagined. Quick, efficient, professional. This company and these people are the best. Call em' you'll be very happy read more

If you have ANY needs for a backyard or landscape pond, don't go anywhere but with Rocky and Pacific Ponds. Our new house had an existing koi pond / waterfall that needed a lot of work. It no longer had any fish or plants, and the water was extremely dirty when we moved in. The lining was also peeling away. Rocky sent over a crew to get it cleaned within one day. When my wife followed up with Rocky, he responded immediately and was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Right from the start, he was no-pressure and very informative as to what our options were. I can't stress enough how responsive Rocky was, and how comfortable he made us, since we had zero experience in this area. In the end, we went with his recommendations and we converted our pond into a rock/plant feature with the waterfall. They replaced all of the plumbing (and added an auto-fill valve) and did an amazing job with the rocks and plants. Top notch experts with amazing service. I would recommend without hesitation!

What can we say about Rocky and his crew, apparently not much, as everyone has already addressed how awesome this company is at building Ponds and pondless water falls and features. After 3 decades of my wife keeping our front yard very nice and colorful with her plants, bushes and shrubs I decided to do something special for my wife in the front yard. The biggest concern in making my decision to go with a water saving front yard was the growing cost of the water for the grass and plants and also how much work the grass had turned into to maintain especially during the summer months. It (the grass) just did not look nice anymore. I designed a water fall with a false river bed with some landscape features for the front yard, I wanted the design to tie in with the real stone fireplace and it had to look as it was part of the surrounding environment. So after informing my wife I was going to do something special for her and that I needed her to trust me in what I was going to do concerning the front yard I called around for estimates. Only one responded to our requests for a estimate and that was Rocky from pacific Ponds. Rocky showed up on time and I presented my idea of what I was looking for in my design especially how it has to fit in with the local environment. Rocky listened to all I had to say then he offered his opinions and knowledge of what I would need to accomplish our goal. After finally hearing from another potential company I decided to go with Pacific Ponds in Ventura. After informing my wife what I had planned she was a little skeptical at first but came around after speaking with Rocky. After getting my wife's blessing and the go ahead I informed Rocky of our decision to hire his company, he came out again and we discussed exactly what I wanted. He made sure we were all on the same page before starting work. Once the work started it proceeded at a steady pace until it was finished with the plants you see in the waterfall. The layout was exactly as I imagined and designed, The waterfall was absolutely the perfect size for the front yard, The rocks matched the fireplace perfectly and the whole waterfall and river bed looked as if you had picked it up from the mountains from behind us and dropped it in our front yard. You will see from the photos how nice the pondless waterfall and the dry riverbed turned out. I know you will be impressed with the work from Rocky and his crew from Pacific ponds of Ventura, Ca. A big thank you to Rocky and his crew at Pacific Ponds in Ventura, Ca. We highly recommend Pacific Ponds of Ventura, Ca. read more

Pacific Ponds - We love the new pond. Thank you Rocky & Juan at Pacific Ponds - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Rocky came out, gave me a quote, and delivered 110% I love the pondless waterfull his crew built! Juan is a talented artist who's a master of rock placement I stayed home while they worked and was able to provide feedback along the way. Highly recommend Pacific Ponds!! read more

Rocky built a beautiful waterfall that has become the highlight of our outdoor room in the back yard. Great work, very professional. I highly recommend them. read more

Rocky (the owner) is just amazing, and his workers are just as good! You can see his handiwork at Ventura County Fair each summer. His prices are super competitite, especially for the quality of work you get. I work out of a home office, so I watched the workers dig the pond, and they were more than waist deep digging out the trench, which is then lined with heavy rubber liner. I was impressed with the work ethic of his workers (this is important, because you can hire a good contractor but he's only as good as the workers he hires!). Ours is a "pondless-waterfall," very low maintenance, and what would have been the "pond" is filled with pebbles. We love the sound of the water falling, and enjoy sitting in our backyard relaxing, reading, etc. thanks to Rocky! read more

We cannot say enough about Rocky and his outstanding crew including Tony his foreman. You have to believe in his instincts and experience. He delivers what he says and is honest, professional, and extremely responsive. He took our old pond and reconfigured a new one that turned out beyond expectations. Always available for questions and pleasant. The entire crew was professional and respectful. When the job was completed their cleanup made one believe they were never there. We had an old pond that was not done properly and thank goodness we found Pacific Ponds. We interviewed several companies but Rocky and his crew are the best in the trade. read more

We recently had a koi pond and waterfall installed by Pacific Ponds and the result greatly exceeded our expectations. I watched the crew work and it was obvious that they took great pride in the placement and appearance of the boulders and rocks. Our pond is 14'x17' with thee levels of waterfall, a bog area and 3' deep. It was completed in only 8 days! Rocky followed up with recommendations for fish, maintenance, food etc. If you're looking for the perfect pond contractor, you can do no better than Pacific Ponds! read more

Rocky and Juan are the best! Rocky came to our new home, was patient and attentive. He listened to what we wanted and made sure our vision was realized. We wanted special rock. He got it! We wanted a multi-fall waterfall with split falls and a small creek like run. He delivered! Juan directed the installation and was a true artist. He was miticulus and had my wife Carol and I involved every step of the way. In fall lighting and plants have created a real oasis. The entire job took about 2.5 days. The results far exceeded our expectations! Please don't confuse them with others who have copied their name. Make sure you talk to Rocky. If it isn't Rocky, it isn't Pacific Ponds! read more

We worked with Rocky to turn an eyesore in our backyard into a beautiful pond. We had previously installed a small retaining wall of stone around a mound of dirt in our back yard. The retaining wall was much too large and looked ridiculous. My husband began calling it the fish pond since it looked like a pond filled with dirt. We asked Rocky, who's work we'd admired for years at the Ventura Fair, if he could work within the retaining wall boundaries. We worked together to design a beautiful fish pond. Its an amazing feature. I love my beautiful koi, and we spend a lot of time enjoying our pond. The wild birds love our waterfall! My dogs think we built them the best water bowl ever. Rocky, Juan, and the rest of the team couldn't be nicer. They were efficient and timely in their work. We highly recommend Pacific Ponds. read more

Rocky and his crew were really great! We inherited a homemade pond in our new house and the filter kept clogging. He introduced me to a biological filter called Bog Filter which is a homemade filter that he and his crew built. The cost of it was steep..$3500, but included everything. My pond looks amazing now and it is clear to the bottom without continually have to pump out the filter every 2-3 days. They took 3 days to clean it. I was also originally quoted $1000 to clean the pond out since it was so dirty. But Rocky gave me a $300 discount plus another $300 for reusing my pump. He was a really honest guy with hardworking crew. Even when the job was done he made sure everything was cleaned up and also gave me a full bottle of enzyme/bacteria that helped clear the sludge from the pond that was worth ~$18. He also gave me a ring in which to put the food so that it didn't float out into the bog filter that was located downstream of the pond. I couldn't ask for a better crew. The cost of a bog filter is about the same anywhere you go, so if I had to pick I would pick Pacific Ponds again. The money put into this filter was worth it since the pond is now self-maintained and autofills with water when it is low. read more

Called Pacific Ponds, talked to Rocky and he sent out David Cure. Cure is the right name for the what had to be done to reverse a poor job of installation by my former landscape installer who buried parts of the fountain system that needed to be repaired. Dave found the screw ups and did the job right with a good attitude. I had a question regarding cost after the repair was completed and it was corrected by Rocky with no problem. I would call them in again. read more
