Waterscapes Pro
WaterScapes Pro is Charlotte's most experienced residential waterscapes expert for ponds, water features, waterfalls, fountains, design, maintenance, service and repair on all sizes...small, medium to large! We are The Pond People in Charlotte!
We have received thousands of hours in training from the premier pond resources - Aquascapes Inc. and Smith Turf & Irrigation. David Weekley, master pond builder and Certified Aquascapes Contractor, founded the basis for WaterScapes Pro in Charlotte almost 40 years ago - as a child building ponds, dams and bridges on his family farm. Today David is one of the best pond designers and builders in the business!
"Water features need to complement the surrounding features so the beauty of the water blends naturally into the beauty of the surrounding landscape,"says David. The careful combination of natural design elements and natural materials are hallmark signatures of David's water design. "It's what you don't see that gives David's designs the unique feeling of nature blending her elements together right before your eyes," say WaterScapes Pro customers!
KOI Cam
The WaterScapes Koi camera resides inside the WaterScapes Garden Koi pond where you can take an exclusive look into the world of the beautiful Japanese Koi as they swim in the only outdoor television watergarden studio in the Carolinas at NewsChannel 36 in Charlotte!
The Koi hobby today boasts over 100 amazing color varieties. Every Koi is unique, and the patterns that are seen on a specific Koi can never be exactly repeated. Koi are bred all over the world, and are considered the most popular freshwater ornamental pond fish. Be sure to check back often to see the WaterScapes Koi camera as these exotic fish live their lives in this beautiful water ecosystem.
The WaterScapes Garden and Koi Pond was designed with sustainability in mind. WaterScapes Pros' David Weekley, the area's only master pond builder, wanted to show NewsChannel 36 Charlotte Today viewers and homeowners how you can achieve a beautiful outdoor television set while providing homeowners with ideas how to create your own peaceful outdoor living space that is "Eco" friendly. We call this a rainwater harvesting system. Simply put, we have built features into this water display that captures rainwater and holds it to use at later dates!
The NewsChannel 36 20 by 30 foot garden area includes tropical plants and native trees and bushes that frame the 4,600 gallon Koi pond. The WaterScapes Garden includes permeable pavers that allow water to seep through the pavers and captured by an underground holding tank. The water can then be accessed by a hidden pump and connected to a water hose for use in watering the landscaping or fed directly into the pond!
Imagine having a patio that is built with these unique pavers, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while conserving water and resources! There is one more hidden sustainability feature of this pond. Just below the ground, right next to the pond, is the Negative Edge Skimmer, an underground water storage tank and filtering system that cleans and recycles the water back into the pond.
