This is the second project, although completely different from the first, that we hired Poseidon to do. Always dreaming about having the vernal pond at the bottom of our wooded hillside turned into a “real” pond, we talked with many pond builders. Most wanted to bring in large equipment, take out forty or fifty old grow trees and generally make a mess of our forest. Cory had a different approach, he laid out a plan that would require a full year to complete, working through the seasons. He brought us his in depth research of various types of water gates and then with our approval built a channel to drain the water off. When the bed was dry, his team, cleared the heavy brush growth and fallen trees. They built a over-flow system of stone, which is very attractive, and let mother mature fill our new pond site this spring. We could not be happier! Our vernal pond is large, beautiful and such a joy to look at every morning. We enjoy watching our new flock of wood ducks and mallards. Poseidon treats (with natural products) for leave and debris build up monthly to keep our pond looking great in it’s natural setting. We love it and loved working with Cory, Eric, Jackie and the team. And we didn’t have to lose a single tree!!
