Ecosystem Koi Ponds for Texas Landscapes
Looking for koi pond installation in The Woodlands or Spring TX? Boone’s Landscaping designs and builds ecosystem ponds that use nature’s own filtration to stay crystal clear without chemicals. Beneficial bacteria break down fish waste, aquatic plants absorb nutrients, and proper circulation keeps water healthy — all working together as a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Texas heat doesn’t have to limit your koi keeping. We design ponds specifically for our climate with adequate depth (3-4 feet) for cooler water, proper aeration to maintain oxygen levels, shade from plants and rock overhangs, and auto-fill systems to maintain water levels during evaporation. Our koi ponds have successfully kept fish healthy through 15+ Texas summers.
Whether you want a koi pond teeming with colorful fish, a peaceful water garden with aquatic plants, or a naturalistic wildlife pond that attracts birds and butterflies, we create living water features that become the heart of your landscape. Contact us for a free design consultation with 3D rendering and ecosystem plan.
Pond Options
Pond Types
From colorful koi to peaceful water gardens — find your perfect pond.
Koi Ponds
Designed specifically for keeping Japanese koi. Deeper basins (3-4 ft), heavy-duty filtration, and proper aeration for healthy, long-lived fish that can grow 2-3 feet long.
Ecosystem Ponds
Balanced aquatic environments with goldfish, plants, and natural filtration. Less demanding than koi ponds, perfect for those wanting low-maintenance water features.
Wildlife Ponds
Naturalistic ponds designed to attract birds, butterflies, frogs, and beneficial insects. Shallow edges, native plants, and natural materials create habitat.
Water Gardens
Focused on aquatic plants like water lilies, lotus, and marginals rather than fish. Stunning blooms from spring through fall with minimal maintenance.
Koi Success
Koi Care in Texas
What it takes to keep koi healthy and thriving in our climate.
Designing for Texas Heat
Koi are remarkably hardy fish that can thrive in Texas with proper pond design. The key factors are depth, aeration, and shade. Deeper water stays cooler — we recommend 3-4 feet minimum. Aeration maintains oxygen levels that drop as water warms. Shade from plants and rock overhangs reduces water temperature.
- Depth — 3-4 feet minimum for temperature stability
- Aeration — Air pumps and waterfalls add oxygen
- Shade — 40-60% surface coverage from plants
- Filtration — Heavy biological filtration for fish load
- Auto-fill — Maintains water level during evaporation
- Predator protection — Deep areas, overhangs, and fish caves

FAQ
Koi Ponds — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our pond installation services.
How much does a koi pond cost in The Woodlands?
Koi pond costs in The Woodlands range from $6,000-$35,000+ depending on size and features. Small ecosystem ponds (6×8 ft) start at $6,000-$10,000. Medium ponds with waterfalls (8×11 ft) run $12,000-$20,000. Large koi ponds with streams and multiple waterfalls cost $25,000-$50,000+. Prices include excavation, liner, filtration, pump, plants, and rockwork. Koi fish are purchased separately.
How deep should a koi pond be in Texas?
Koi ponds in Texas should be at least 3 feet deep, with 4 feet preferred. Deeper water stays cooler in summer (critical for koi health) and provides protection from predators like herons. We typically build ponds with a shallow shelf (12-18 inches) for marginal plants and a deeper main area (3-4 feet) for koi. Deeper ponds also help koi survive rare Texas freezes.
How much maintenance does a koi pond require?
Our ecosystem koi ponds require just 15-30 minutes of weekly maintenance. This includes checking the skimmer basket, feeding fish, and occasional plant trimming. We install biological filtration that uses beneficial bacteria to break down fish waste naturally, keeping water crystal clear without chemicals. Annual cleanouts are recommended in early spring. We also offer maintenance plans.
Can koi survive Texas summers?
Yes! Koi thrive in Texas with proper pond design. Key factors include adequate depth (3-4 feet for cooler water), shade from plants and rock overhangs, proper aeration to maintain oxygen levels, and good filtration. We also install auto-fill systems to maintain water levels during evaporation. Our ponds are specifically designed for Texas heat and have successfully kept koi healthy for 15+ years.
When can I add fish to a new pond?
We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks after filling before adding fish. This allows beneficial bacteria to colonize the filter media and establish the nitrogen cycle. Adding fish too early can cause ammonia spikes that stress or kill fish. We’ll guide you through the cycling process and test your water before recommending fish introduction.
Can you renovate my existing pond?
Absolutely! We renovate and upgrade existing ponds that have problems like murky water, algae blooms, or failing equipment. Common upgrades include adding proper biological filtration, skimmers, waterfalls, and aeration. Pond renovations typically cost $3,000-$15,000 depending on scope and can transform a problematic pond into a low-maintenance ecosystem.
