    Frequently Asked Questions

    How deep should a koi pond be?

    A koi pond should be at least 2-3 feet deep, with some areas reaching 4 feet for overwintering fish. Proper depth helps regulate water temperature and provides protection from predators.

    Do I need a permit to build a pond?

    Permit requirements vary by municipality. Most backyard ecosystem ponds under 18 inches deep don't require permits, but check with your local building department.
