Backyard Blessings

Very well. This is a huge project. It takes many 12+ hour days to complete. These folks know what to do, how to do, and the why to do. They are truly professional, very nice , and genuine good folks. They do what they say. And they do it on time.They will do all future tune ups on the system.
This is not a side line occupation for these folks. This is their only, and full time occupation. This is ALL they do. This fact alone sets them apart from virtually all competitors in Central Indiana. We are very glad we chose them.

It went fine they were responsive, they had to come back after they adjusted it the first time as there was a still a problem with run off.
My only issue was that they sold me some koi, unfortunately due to timing and change of season I loss a $100 koi and $35 Shebunkin, after only a few days.  When I called Mark got defensive, I would have appreciated somemore feedback regarding when to buy and how to acclimate and what could have gone wrong.  As a result, I used the Reef to purchase fish, I bought three more koi and they all are doing well.
Mark did call to close out the pond which is always great from a client service perspective.  The less I have to remember the better.  I had stayed on top of maintenance so the pond was in good shape, I had already netted it so had no need to do anything else to close it.

Great!
Marc and his helper arrived early and started work immediately.
Hand dug for pond installation, installed liners, built water fall and brought in all natural rocks for pond.
Very hard and heavy work with all the stones.  They completed pond the same day.
Marc is one of the most friendly contractors were have every used, very positive and upbeat.
He wanted to make our pond just the way we asked, only better!  He sat on our porch with us when he came for the estimate and envisioned what we wanted.
Great guy and company!

Marc responded quickly with ideas on how I could do some investigating work to help him find the leak faster and save some money.  He was open and transparent about possible complications and costs, and communicated quickly and clearly on the progress.  He was able to complete the work according to my schedule.  He was pleasant, flexible and easy to work with.  My pond is gorgeous!  I am seriously considering hiring him for fall closing and spring reopening.  The company that installed my pond is no longer in business and I'm so glad I found Backyard Blessings to help.

Marc was a great Christian man and his assistant were both professional and got the job done quickly and efficiently.  A classroom of children visited while he was finishing up and took the time to instruct the kids on what he did and why it was so important to keep the water and things clean and running properly.  I would and have used him again!!!

They did a really good job for me.

Approximately 1 year ago Backyard Blessing installed a patio pond. They did an outstanding job of installation at an acceptable cost. One of the pumps stopped working this spring and it was replaced at no cost with no questions asked.
It's a pleasure to do bu

Marc was very responsive in first looking over our needs and providing a clear estimate within a day and scheduled the work soon after I agreed to the plan. He arrived as scheduled and worked very efficiently for two days to take out and restructure a 10X20 bog area replacing two old filter boxes with one new one. He dug out the old bog down to the old liner and overlaid with a new liner and reconfigured the surrounding decorative rock. He then turned his attention to a second pond and did the necessary repairs to the filter box that was leaching lots of water. Marc and his companion work hard, are very easy to communicate with, and clearly very professional in their work. They left the area very clean, having hauled away all the trash and old parts. Finding someone who you can rely on for ongoing pond maintenance is difficult. There are some who say they do this, but really don't have the background. I found Marc to be one who very much knows what he is doing. He is responsive, clear and timely in communications, and fairly priced for the work performed. I will reuse his services.

They came at 7 a.m. and did an excellent job. They were so efficient that none of my fish died. It was such a dirty pond that they totally replaced the water and got all of the mess out of the bottom of the pond. They power washed it and also replaced some parts in my skimmer box. They also cleaned the waterfall box and the outside filter and removed all of the water lilies; there were a ton of them. They were done by noon and did a fantastic job. There was a hole in the seal that they found and repaired. This company also replaced a few bags that hold my filter media in the waterfall box. I am going to hire them every year to do a spring cleaning. They came out about a week after I called them. They picked up all of their equipment and had everything they needed to do the job.

I called on Tuesday and Mark was able to come out on Wednesday to do the work . He was prompt, professional and helpful. He completed the work in a timely fashion and the results are wonderful. Our pond has never been this clear and the waterfall looks great. We will definitely call him again.

The whole process was seamless. Marc was professional and helped me to stay within my budget, all while creating the perfect backyard waterscape. I would recommend Backyard Blessings!

Mark responded on Wednesday after I left him a message Tuesday evening that my pond pump burned out.  He replaced the pump & plumbing ($447 for materials) and soon had everything working smoothly again.  With the hot weather, a delay could have been dangerous for my Japenese koi.
Mark does a terrific job of cleaning and repairing my 2,000 gallon pond each spring. I call him the Fish Whisperer because the koi are actually calmer after he handles them. Several years ago, another pond cleaning service stressed out my fish so much one of them died, so I really appreciate the care Mark and his crew take with them.
Besides doing an excellent job, Mark is personable, honest and a delight to deal with.  I've used three other pond services, and Backyard Blessings is the best by far!

Excellent

We had this company repair our backyard waterfalls which was lossing water and we also need someone to prepare the system for the winter.  We had another company give an estimate but Backyard Blessings was much more friendly and more knowledgeable about the water pump and filtration system.   The repair was done correctly along with recommendation for maintaining the system thru the winter.  We have contract with Backyard Blessing to maintain our system - winterization and start-up in the spring.  We have only good things to say about the service from Backyard Blessings.

They did a decent job.  They basically did what they said they were going to do.  I was pleased with them.

We used them several times this summer. We were having problems finding anybody to come out and they did a great job. They were really, really responsive and did an excellent job. They got it up and running in no time. We had another company that said our pond wasn't big enough and they needed to double the size and do $12,000 worth of work on it. They were great to work with.

Well

Marc and his team designed and built our backyard waterfall and Koi pond. They did a great job, and I would recommend them.

Marc and his assistant Lee came prior to 9:00 AM and they clearly knew what they were doing.   I came back later in the day (they completed the job) and the work was excellent.  Marc is a real artist and we now have a water fall that we imagine three years ago.  What was a dream is now a reality.   Marc did an exceptional job of paying attention to our needs and he responded in a very positive  manner.  I recommend Backyard Blessings (Marc) without reservation!!!

He was very professional. He was an expert in that area. Prior to doing the work, he came and gave the estimate. He spoke about the work. That was his expertise. He knew what he was talking about. He was very friendly and had a very good colleague with him. It wasn't incredibly hard. We weren't in the house most days, when he was working. I will use him in the future.

We were very impressed with them and they did a wonderful job. He was amazing in terms of artistic design and putting it up. We had him out to winterize it and then do the summer work on it. We had seen their booth at an Earth Day downtown and we had been trying to do this ourselves for a long time. We had gotten another estimate. They did really good prep work and installed the whole thing for us. It was beautifully designed and much nicer than what we had before. We were very pleased.

I called Marc (owner of Backyard Blessings) shortly after moving into a new house with an existing koi pond. The pond was inadequate in size for the number of fish, and it had not been maintained recently. Because I did not have previous experience with ponds, I needed assistance in cleaning the pond. He was prompt, courteous and professional and is very knowledgeable about pond construction, maintenance, landscaping and fish care. After he assessed the pond, I decided to have him enlarge the pond and add additional landscaping, filter and a few other fish and plants. I am very happy with the results and would use his services again in the future (when I plan on enlarging the pond even further).

The pond/water feature in our yard is very large and was incredibly dirty. We moved into our home 2 years ago and the pond needed a clean. However, the first company I contacted last year did not show or return phone calls. I was thrilled to find Marc's company, Backyard Blessings, through our landscaper. I phoned yesterday and Marc arrived yesterday evening to check out the job. He and DJ arrived this morning (after phoning to let me know they were 10 minutes away - and they really were!) and began draining the pond, catching the fish and removing the plants - all in the rain! After the pond was drained, there remained sludge about 1 foot deep, coating the rocks. They thoroughly cleaned the rocks, then planted new plants in the upper portion of the pond. Marc suggested a faux rock to cover the skimmers which he brought back with him later in the evening. Marc also installed LED lights, highlighting the water. The pond was really in terrible shape and now looks amazing! The rocks on the bottom are visible, the lilies have room and some have been removed and the fish are swimming happily. I could not be happier with the work performed! Marc and DJ were incredibly professional and courteous. Marc knew exactly what was needed for the pond. I am now a new customer for fall winterizing and spring opening. They truly did a wonderful job and were very hard working.
