TOUR STOPS
10:00 am to 3:00 pm - Tour Stops (except Moonlight Pond Tour)
Auburn Pond Tour
If you follow us on social media, you may remember this build from 2021! A backyard on a slope was transformed with tall, statement waterfalls cascading down into a large koi pond. This tour stop also features some impressive fire fountains. This pond was featured on Greg Wittstock The Pond Guy's YouTube channel!
Graham Pond Tour
Just 10 minutes from Mark The Pond Guy’s house, visit TWO waterfalls at this stop! This stunning driveway water feature perfects the art of first impressions. With multiple cascades, this Pondless pulls you in and welcomes you to explore the large rocks and beautiful accent falls. Also, don’t miss the three column fountain in the backyard!
South Hill Pond Tour
Another statement waterfall, you will be wowed by the multiple falls and oversized boulders! Nearly 30,000 gallons per hour rush over native basalt rock to create a picture worthy waterfall perfect for a backyard, front driveway, or to complement existing landscape.
Des Moines Pond Tour
This Retreat Pond was fully customized to add a long, meandering stream that invites you to explore the beautiful pond. Plus this stop features a column fountain - always a favorite amongst water lovers!
Tacoma Pond Tour
Talk about a transformation! We built this pond in late 2022, and it was one of our favorite projects from last year. You’ll see why when you stop and take in the different sounds and views - with gorgeous views at multiple different viewing angles, this pond is the perfect statement for medium to large backyards. In addition to the pond, we did the hardscaping and landscaping as well.
Sumner Pond Tour
This stop is at our friends landscape supply yard, Olympic Rockery & Landscape Supply! This stunning pond features incredible rock work, a tall waterfall, friendly koi, and even a fire fountain!
3:00 pm to 7:00 pm - Moonlight Pond Tour
Puyallup Pond Tour: August just might be our favorite month as pond owners, and you'll see why when you visit the Moonlight Pond Tour! Lilies and hyacinth are blooming, the flower beds and landscape is full of lush and colorful plants and flowers, and the trout and koi are hungry and friendly! The ever-evolving home of Mark The Pond Guy has something for everyone - trout pond, koi pond, Pondless waterfalls, fire pits, pergola, gazebo, and even a new glamping tent... Bring the whole family to experience the water gardening lifestyle.
