TYPES OF PONDSSpring Creek can assist you with a variety of pond projects including:
NATURAL PONDS by BIOLOGISTS We are Biologists who design completely natural ponds by using creative scientific techniques that result in the highest quality aquatic habitats possible from aesthetic, biological and economic aspects. Knowledge is our primary tool instead of equipment, filters, chemicals and additives. Take time to read our information in this site to learn about building ponds and preservation of native plants, animals and aquatic habitats. We offer educational information on subjects such as native Pond Plants and Ponds and Lakes Lessons.
The Pond Design and Planning Guide , Pond Faqs , Pond Construction Faqs, Pond Myths and Pond Liners pages are full of insights to help you understand the dynamics involved to develop the pond, stream or lake of your dreams.
Along with the trophy fishing ponds and lakes we have become well known for, we also design: SWIMMING PONDSSince we had already developed techniques to make a pond colder than normal, we realized we can also design ponds to be warmer than usual. This would be perfect for swimming and warm water habitat. Ponds for swimming are becoming increasingly popular since the water stays as clear as the rest of our designs, and swimming ponds cost roughly 20 % of what a pool would cost! There are also the added benefits that you can have a beach along a swimming pond, as well as ponds are very low maintenance when built correctly. Additionally, our ponds can be integrated into the heat pump for your home to save on your heating and air conditioning. Your house stays cooler while your pond warms for swimming. COMBINATION PONDSWith careful planning and design, we have also developed techniques to allow certain areas of a pond to warm for swimming while keeping a large cold area for fish such as trout. This all-in-one design is our most versatile habitat for people and fish. GARDEN PONDS and RESIDENTIAL PONDSWhile our reputation is built on complex larger ponds and lakes for fishing, our proprietary techniques lend themselves very well to the more personal size ponds used in residential landscaping. We have developed a special pond design technique for very small ponds to maintain heavier populations of ornamental fish without the significant added expense of pond filters. These science based techniques allow the owner to save money when compared to the usual liner and filter type pond designs. Our pond designs utilize principles of aquatic biology and chemistry to be much more efficient and lower maintenance than the typical garden pond. Best of all is the fact that your garden pond will be completely natural. You will have no need for commercial additives and your pond will maintain itself naturally. WATER FEATURES and ORNAMENTAL PONDS Spring Creek is leading a trend towards natural water features and landscape ponds for public places such as housing developments, office complexes and golf courses. With our techniques, we provide pristine quality environments that will support fish and wildlife that bring nature into the city. These habitats become star features that attract commerce while providing fish and wildlife habitat. Our goal is to benefit both business and the natural environment.

We look forward to discussing the possibilities of bringing your water to life!

Ornamental fish deserve the best clear water high quality ponds low maintenance.
Ornamental fish color is best in natural habitat with natural food. Ornamental fish health is also better in natural habitat.
Natural is the only way we design our aquatic habitats Natural fish do not eat pellets, so why do people think they have a natural fish pond when they feed the fish? Natural design by Biologists brings quality aesthetics and healthy fish. Natural also means no annual cleaning. The bottom line is do you want a habitat that looks real?
Natural aesthetics by Biologists who create aquatic habitats. So natural that you cannot tell they are manmade and the fish are very natural too. Natural aesthetics are a cornerstone to Biologists designs. Natural means natural building materials, not plastic or rubber. Waterfeatures in nature have never had rubber or plastic liners.
Natural Landscape ponds and lakes by Biologists are more natural looking and functioning than habitats that landscape architects are building. Natural landscape water features are inspired by nature, not suburban parks. Natural landscaping means natural materials and not synthetics, plastic or rubber. Aquatic landscaping for natural aesthetics is what we specialize in.
Imagine an urban landscape with trout thriving in a natural landscape habitat. The striking beauty of a natural landscape design in an urban environment has a profound effect on those who come in contact with it. water features emotionally calm people, natural waterfeatures are even more soothing.
Large Ponds mean large budgets. Budgets for Large Ponds can rival the cost of a house once they get to several acres. As Biologists, we give you the most for large ponds investment and cost of a large pond cost.
Designing ponds like trophy fish, garden and even swim ponds with a biologist / pond biologist help with complex ponds. Planning ponds & design of ponds is easy with Biologist assistance with swimming ponds which can also combine with fish ponds & trophy trout ponds. Earth ponds which are earth lined ponds, become clear water for ornamental ponds and garden ponds. Biologists design fishing ponds plus duck & landscape ponds. Biologists creating natural ponds & lakes. Building earthen ponds with help by a professional earthen ponds design biologist. This will minimize earthen ponds maintenance and reduce earthen ponds management & construction costs. Biologist's tips for clear ponds including clear ponds without liners. Golf course ponds and many golf course ponds tips. We are Biologists designing natural ponds to make building natural ponds very easy.
Ponds and Lakes and Ponds
Ponds: Designing ponds like trophy fish ponds, garden ponds and swim ponds with a biologist / pond biologist help. Planning ponds & design of ponds is less complex with professional biological assistance. Planning a pond & pond design is complicated without biological assistance. swimming ponds combined with fish ponds like trout ponds design as earthen ponds results in clear ponds. Many clear ponds will become ornamental ponds used as garden ponds for fish or duck ponds in many landscape ponds. Biologists creating ponds. designing swimming ponds and building swimming ponds with a Biologist is most cost effective. Constructing swimming ponds and maintenance of swimming ponds is our specialty. Building earthen ponds and earthen ponds design is our focus as Biologists so that earthen ponds maintenance is virtually eliminated.

Earth Ponds & Earth Ponds Sourcebook recommendation
Garden Ponds: Natural Garden Ponds by Biologists
The garden pond industry is wrought with misinformation regarding pond design. The writers are severely lacking in scientific knowledge of aquatic habtiats. Most of them come with a background of hobbyists.
Natural biological ponds require much more design knowledge than ponds with filters, but biological ponds are much more aesthetically pleasing with less maintenance.
Central Oregon ponds designed by Biologists for trophy fishing and aesthetics. Natural Trophy Trout ponds in Oregon. We design lakes & ponds from our Bend Oregon Office as well as Tualatin.
old page description.: swimming ponds with or without fish like trout ponds, earthen ponds that are clear water ornamental ponds with clear water for garden fish ponds using clay ponds and clay ponds liners will create clear ponds for duck ponds & landscape ponds.
