Good morning! I love to start off the week with a Waterfall! I thought I would use one of my Instagram videos this morning. Instagram is still fairly new to me, but I’m enjoying experimenting with it. Check this one out. I just posted it this morning. If your on Instagram, please like and follow my page. It’s all original pictures and video of things we designed and built.
Have a great week!

I have been operating Carters Nursery Pond & Patio since 1989. I’ve set up countless Garden Shows and hosted hundreds of Pond related workshops (pond builds, design classes, waterfall building, pond maintenance, koi health, etc etc)… I own & operate a 7 acre Garden Center and Aquatic Nursery with running eco-system ponds and a full Koi facility. My goal all these years has been to show Pond Enthusiasts a better way. But, that doesn’t mean I can rest on my laurels… Just Yesterday, I had a great conversation with a walk in customer that lives within 5 miles of my Nursery and has been a pond enthusiast for over 15 years! And guess what… He didn’t know that I was here and he didn’t know what a Pond Skimmer would do for him 😮 Sooooo, needless to say I spent some time with him and gave him the full .10 cent tour of my place! He was blown away and left with a skimmer of his own and a mission to install it himself 💥
So the question remains for many Pond owners –
Q- Does My Koi Pond &/or Water Garden Need A Skimmer?
The answer is YES! Most Definitely…
The simple function of the Skimmer is to help collect surface debris from your Pond. BUT, that’s not all it does for you. A good Skimmer also –
- Houses, hides and pre-filters your Pond Pump! No more clogged pumps! 💥
- By collecting debris before it collects on the pond bottom it Greatly Improves Water Quality!
- A Skimmer also greatly increases dissolved oxygen in your Pond Water! Making a much healthier Pond and much happier Koi!
- A Skimmer does most of the physical work for you, giving you more time to relax 😊
IF you are a Pond guy or gal and don’t have a Pond Skimmer, I am here to help! Drop by and I will show you the light 💡 or give me a call 1-731-424-2206 and I will come to you!
Thanks! & Happy Pondering!

I’m coming off an anniversary weekend and my lovely wife of 29 years got me a new underwater camera! That might not sound exciting to you, but to me it was an Awesome gift! I spent last night shooting underwater videos of my Ponds 😊 WOW! Looking up at the ”Other side” of the surface is really cool… And very Zen as well! Watch this short video and let me know what you think.
Did I mention that this was my 1st. video with my new camera? Wow! I love this thing…
Take a minute and find that place of Zen for yourself! it will set the tone for the whole week.
Have a Great Monday!

My offering is a beautiful backyard pond with twin upper waterfalls that flow under a stone bridge before combing into a final cascade that flows into the pond below. Here are a few different prospectives to view…
I sure do hope you enjoy this beautiful #Waterfallwednesday !
Happy Pondering!

I ❤️ My Pond! I love everything about it! The sound, the plants, the Koi, the dogs drinking from it, the cooling effect of sitting by it, how it makes me feel! The last couple of days Ive had a friend out who is a YouTube Vlogger. We have gone around to different projects that I have designed and built and video’d them… Including the underwater aspect, all I can say is WOW! There is a whole other world down there looking back at us that is really never seen. The world that our Koi live in. It’s literally the other side of the looking glass… Here are a few super cool images that I know you are gonna Love ❤️
The underwater world of an Eco-System Water Garden is pretty magical huh 😊
Y’all have a great afternoon!

Good morning! Its going to be another hot, sticky day in the south!
Have you noticed that you have to add more water to your pond during Hot weather like this? Did you know that It’s purely from evaporation! Don’t forget to top off your Water Garden from time to time to keep up with evaporation! It will protect your Koi and it will keep your pump running properly!
Check out my little Pond Tip for this week…
Does your Pond have an Auto Fill Valve? They are fairly simple to install and virtually invisible in your skimmer.
– Can you imagine not having to worry about adding water over the Hot Summer months?
Boom 💥 This is my offering for your Pond Tip this week. To me it’s all about Low Maintenance! Less work and more enjoyment!
Enjoy the Pond Tip! And stay cool out there 😊
