The Benefits of a Natural Recreation Pond
What is a recreation pond?
How do recreational ponds keep water clean?
Recreation ponds clean water by leveraging eco-friendly wetland filtration systems. Instead of relying on chemicals like chlorine, these ponds use a balanced natural processes found in ecosystems to keep water clean and clear. In essence, our ecosystem ponds work with nature instead of against it. A DreamScape Pond is a self contained Living Water Ecosystem that is Easy to Maintain and Safe to Interact with.
Biological, Mechanical, and Natural Filtration
- Wetland Filtration System: is an extremely powerful tool used to clean and bio-filtrate large amounts of LIVING water. Water is channeled upward through successively smaller layers of rock/gravel and as it does, it experiences a 92% reduction in velocity. As a result, all of the sediments and nutrients that algae feeds on are removed from the water and they drop down to the bottom of our filter. We plant special bog plants in the filter and they feed off of the nutrients in the wetland, creating a balanced ecosystem.
- Biofilters: These contain beneficial bacteria that break down organic waste, converting it into harmless substances.
- Plant Zones: Plants absorb nutrients and provide habitat for microorganisms that further purify the water.
- Natural Circulation: Water is continuously circulated to prevent stagnation, which reduces the chance of bad algae growth and maintains oxygen levels.
- Sunlight and Air Exposure: UV rays from sunlight also play a role in keeping the water free from pathogens by naturally sterilizing it.
- Pre-Filtration: Water first passes through a mechanical filter to remove larger debris such as leaves and insects.
- Skimmers and Settling Chambers: Skimmers capture floating particles, and settling chambers allow heavier particles to sink and be removed.
From the original vision consultation to project completion, the attention to detail we infuse into every project is unmatched. Unlike so many contractors who are focused on getting everything done as fast as possible, DreamScapes takes a different approach. We take pride in our meticulous, methodical approach to every phase of Pond design and installation.

Pond Plants and Landscaping
We are different from other pond contractors in Los Angeles. At DreamScapes, we believe the planting within and around each Water Feature is as important as the water feature itself. Our first step is to create a plant list for each unique project that we share with our clients. After reviewing the list, we are given feedback to help fine tune the plants that we will be working with. Then we create a project proposal that also includes not just plants, but (drip) irrigation for all of the plants we will install as well.
