A pond is decided over a whole winter.

Nobody signs off a build the week they ask about it. The quote sits, gets opened again on a wet Sunday in February, and carries the date it lapses on so it is not still live at last year's prices. You can see which ones were read and which were never opened at all.

A real price on a real length.

A clean, a filter service and a lamp change each carry their own duration, so the slot a customer takes online is one you can genuinely work rather than a guess you have to ring back and undo.

The pond keeps its own file.

Volume, liner, pump model and the date the lamp went in stay on the pond rather than in a notebook in the van. The fourth visit starts from what the first three found.

A water garden, quoted three ways.

Reline what is there, rebuild with a skimmer and biofalls, or go koi spec with a bottom drain and a bead filter. One estimate, three options.

  • Priced off water, not off a hunch

    Area is a real pricing driver, so the square feet you take at the hole build the estimate before the tape is back in the truck.

  • Filtration is an option, not a rewrite

    A bigger pump, a bead filter or a second UV each carry their own price change on the same document instead of a whole new quote.

  • Accepted while you are standing there

    They pick the option, type their name and it is accepted. Your copy and their copy carry the same locked number.

  • Named options come with Pro

    Several named options on one estimate is the Pro part, with the one you recommend flagged. The estimate itself, the online acceptance and the typed-name signature are free.

One heat wave reshuffles your whole week.

Two pumps quit on the same Tuesday. The build will keep; the koi will not. Moving the work is a drag, not a rebuild.

  • Drag it and the pond comes along

    The address, the pump model and every note stay attached to the job. Only the day changes.

  • Your crew sees it right away

    Whoever was on those days sees the new plan without you sending a round of texts at six in the morning.

  • Free on every plan

    Moving work around your week was never the part you pay for.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

The call that fits the drive you already have.

A pump swap only pays if it sits near the build you are already on. Pro scores the open slots by the driving each one adds.

  • Ranked, never rearranged

    You still pick the slot. The ranking just lifts the ones close to where the truck already is tomorrow.

  • Small work that pays well

    A UV change, a media rinse and a leak trace are what turn an awkward gap into a genuinely profitable hour.

  • Pro

    The ranking is the Pro part. The calendar, the bookings and the arrival window are not.

A new job being assigned, with three open slots ranked by how much travel each one adds to the day. The slot that adds the least is marked best.

Built for water

Built for every pond you look after

A new water garden with skimmer and biofalls

Excavation, EPDM, pump, skimmer and boulder work itemized on one estimate, priced off the area you measured standing in the hole.

A koi pond with a bottom drain and bead filter

The build where filtration is most of the money. Quote the drain, the bead filter and the second UV as options on one document.

A pondless waterfall in a small yard

No open water and no fish, so it prices as a flat job with the basin size and the stone as options rather than a site survey.

The spring startup after ice-out

A fixed-length visit on your booking page: pump back in, plumbing checked, media rinsed, water treated. It books itself in March.

A pump that quit in a heat wave

The fish have hours, not days. Take it as a booking with a tight arrival window and a note on what is already in the vault.

A full cleanout and drain-down

Priced off the gallons you already have on file, sold as a single visit and booked online without a phone call in either direction.

Fall netting before the leaves drop

A seasonal job that repeats every year. Set it as a standing arrangement and it is on the calendar before the customer calls.

Winter closing with a de-icer and an aerator

A short visit sold as a service, with the de-icer and the aerator as priced lines and the install date kept on the pond.

A liner leak found after a freeze

A quote visit first, then the patch or the reline as a second booking, with the visit fee credited back on the estimate.

A courtyard fountain for a commercial property

A staged build for a property manager, with a leg of the money at excavation and the balance at commissioning on Pro.

How far a pond is worth driving.

Ponds are spread thin, so your area runs wider than a mowing route and still needs an edge. Draw it once and it holds every day.

  • Pick the ground, not a circle

    Claim real counties off the map instead of a radius that swallows a whole lake to reach one street.

  • Past the line it asks first

    An address outside your area leaves a request instead of dropping a four-hour Saturday round trip into your calendar.

  • One crew, several areas

    Name each area, color it and say who covers it, so the person offered a slot can genuinely get there in time.

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of counties with its crew.
  • Hyde Park8 counties · 2 crew
  • Zilker7 counties · 2 crew
  • Austin North7 counties · 2 crew

Get paid before you load the truck.

Most pond money still arrives by transfer, and recording one costs you nothing at all. Cards are the part that sits on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark it paid and the receipt goes out on its own, with no plan involved in any part of it.

  • Cards come with Pro

    For the customer who would rather tap at the pond edge than go hunting for their account details.

  • Staged, after the booking

    Pro splits a build into excavation and commissioning, so the money follows the work. It happens on the job, never at a checkout.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your pond and water feature business.

Scheduling

A dead pump beats a half-built waterfall every time. Drag the build days down the week and the pond, address and notes move with them.

Bookings

One booking holds the pond, the pump model, the fish count and the gate code, so whoever rolls up knows the site before the truck stops.

Estimates

Reline, rebuild or full koi spec as three named options on one document, accepted online with a typed name and no printing.

Online booking

Spring startups, cleanouts and UV changes book themselves at a real price. A build inquiry lands as a request for you to price properly.

Customers

Each pond is its own subject with its own address, so gallons, liner, pump and UV history stay with the water and not in your head.

Inbox

The heat-wave message and the property manager chasing the fountain each keep a thread, filed against the pond it belongs to.

Territories

Pick the counties a pump call is worth the drive for. Past the line the job asks first instead of booking itself into your week.

Team

Your helper sees addresses and start times for the days they work, and the crew rate for a two-person dig lands on the job.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free. Cards come with Pro, as does splitting a build into excavation and commissioning.

Common questions.

You can, and it is the fastest upgrade in this trade. Reline what is there, rebuild with a skimmer and biofalls, or go full koi spec with a bottom drain, all on one estimate. Several named options is the Pro part.

Take it as a booking with a tight arrival window instead of a vague afternoon, so the customer stops calling. On Pro, open slots are scored by the driving each one adds, so the call lands near the site you are already on.

No, and you would not want it to. A permanently installed fountain or pond falls under NEC Article 680, submersible equipment needs GFCI protection, and licensing is state by state. Bookables files the paperwork against the job.

Yes. Set a repeating visit weekly or monthly, ending never, on a date or after a set number, and it keeps generating ahead of you. Standing arrangements are on every plan.

The pond is a subject on the customer with its own address, and every visit, note, photo and estimate files against it. Gallons, liner, pump and UV size stay with the water, not with whoever went last.

For most, it is. The Free plan carries a monthly booking allowance with no credit card required, and recording cash or a bank transfer costs nothing on any plan. The plan cards below carry the numbers.
