We also understand the complexities of balancing fish populations, water quality, and plant health. Let us help you avoid common pond problems and keep your water garden flourishing year-round.

Water Gardening in West Texas

Even if you can't dig a pond, the soothing sound of water can bring a cool, calming atmosphere to your space. Whether you're looking for a fountain or need supplies for a full water garden, we've got you covered. 

Fountains

We offer a wide selection of concrete statuary fountains to add beauty and tranquility to your garden. Special orders can be placed directly through us from top manufacturers. And don't forget June is statuary month which means 20% off! 

Water Lilies

Our hardy water lilies arrive in late April, with tropical varieties coming in mid-June. Tropicals will bloom daily from June to October, so you’ll have vibrant flowers all summer long.

  • For the best results, repot them into larger containers and feed them in the spring.

  • We offer food tabs and Ken Landon’s special fertilizer, used at the International Water Lily Collection.

  • Depending on the size lilies start at $39.99 and goes up to $169.

Bog & Marginal Plants

We carry a variety of bog and marginal plants (available from April through summer) that grow at the edges of ponds or in the mud, but should never be submerged.

  • Popular plants include:

    • Hibiscus (green or red foliage)

    • Wild Spike Papyrus

    • Water Mint

    • Red-leafed Water Cannas

    • Parrot Feather

    • And much more!

Fish

We have both Select KOI (colorful), Butterfly KOI (with long fins) and Shubkins (goldfish that look like koi) starting at $14.99. As well as mosquito fish which are $5.  We also keep the best selection of fish food and all the necessary care products in stock. 

  • A quick note: While fish can help control algae, having too many fish can actually lead to murky water, so it's important to feed them sparingly and to make sure you have the right amount of fish for your size pond.

Pond Liners & Supplies

We offer 45 mil rubber pond liners in bulk rolls (10 ft, 15 ft, and 20 ft widths). To get the right fit, measure the widest width and longest length, plus an extra foot for overlap on the edges, and we’ll cut the liner to size for minimal waste. We also carry pumps, filters, tubing, UV lights, and more. And if we don't have it we will order it!
