Recreational Ponds
A place for family and friends to gather
The popularity of recreational ponds has been growing over the past few years. These eco-friendly swimming ponds have been built in Europe for decades and have recently gained traction here in the United States. You may have heard these types of ponds referred to as Natural Swimming Ponds or Natural Swimming Pools (NSP). Choosing a recreational pond over a traditional swimming pool may be just what your family is looking for.
Using plants within either a planting zone or wetland filter, with a separate swimming zone, a recreational pond eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and is environmentally friendly. They fit seamlessly into your natural landscaping and provide a safe and enjoyable swimming experience for the whole family.
You can have the feel of your favorite swimming hole in your own backyard, and it will definitely be the favorite hangout spot for your family and friends! A backyard swimming pond provides a fun outdoor recreational space during the warmer months and a natural environment for wildlife and your family to enjoy year-round.
History of Natural Swimming Ponds in the Rogue Valley
We are members of the International Organization for Natural Bathing Waters (IOB) and have had the opportunity to learn and consult with the leading natural swimming pool builders in the world. Having had the privilege of attending multiple international IOB conferences has given us a unique opportunity to expand our understanding of why these beautiful swimming ponds have been enhancing both residential and commercial landscapes all over Europe for many years.
We began building recreational ponds in the Rogue Valley in 2016. Our swim pond design has evolved over the years, and we are proud to be able to say that we are the leading NSP contractors in the state of Oregon. We’ve brought together the knowledge gained from our global network of natural swimming pool builders with the unique style that Andreatta Waterscapes is known for, to create what has commonly become known here in the United States as recreational ponds.
Call us to set up a design consultation and we’ll help you create the backyard swim pond of your dreams!
"THANK YOU TONJA!!!"
If you are looking to put in a water feature trust me this is the company you want to go with. Tonja and her team were professional, great to work with and absolutely masters of their craft. We now have a water feature in our back yard that looks absolutely amazing and the sound makes us feel like we are sitting next to the river. She asked a lot of questions about what WE wanted and then created magic. Anytime afterwards I had a question about something she answered them immediately and always is there to help.

"Tonja and her crew created a beautiful waterfall"
Tonja and her crew rescued us! My hubby started building a pondless waterfall in our backyard, but it proved to be more difficult than we thought. After building and tearing it down multiple times (with major frustration), we called multiple places in the valley, yet the only one to return our call was Tonja at Andreatta Waterscapes. We initially called her to look at what was done and see if we could get advice on how to proceed and she was willing to come guide us. However, after meeting her and listening to her ideas, we instantly decided to hire her to finish the job for us (well basically tear most of it down and build it correctly-haha). They were on time, professional and did an amazing job & made it look easy (trust me, it’s not-leave it to the pros). Tonja and her crew created a beautiful waterfall that surpassed our expectations! Thanks for everything Tonja and Andreatta Waterscapes, you saved us! We love our little oasis you built for us. If you are looking to hire a waterscape professional, we highly recommended Andreatta Waterscapes.

"The water looks great"
We had a lot of algae in our pond and worried about the health of the fish. Andreatta Ponds responded to my voicemail within a couple of days and was there to take a look and offer solutions two days after that. We purchased two natural pond cleaners from them and some air stones, the water has been clear ever since. She even came back to put a lily in our pond while we were at work AND gave our dog some belly rubs on her way out. The water looks great and we can’t wait to have them come back to do a little makeover on our koi pond when the weather cools down a bit.

"I enjoy many evenings watching my koi"
I moved into a house about 5 years ago and it had a beautiful koi pond. I asked who did the maintenance on the pond and was informed of Andreatta Waterscapes. I continued service with them and am so thankful that I did. The maintenance crew is respectful, knowledgeable, and do the best job of cleaning ever. They also take care of the plants in and around the pond. I enjoy many evenings watching my koi in the crystal clear water. I can't say enough about their service and some after hours emergencies. Thank you all for ALL that you do.

"I can't recommend them highly enough!"
I called Andreatta Waterscapes because we had a leak in our fish pond. I'm so glad I did! Tonja came to our house and within 15 minutes had found the leak. This wasn't the first time we had somebody look at it but the other guy didn't believe it was a leak and that the water from the waterfall was just evaporating. We explained all of this to Tonja and she said that it was possible, but she still wanted to check around the pond to make sure. She found some bolts that had disintegrated in our skimmer and were letting water seep out. She gave us an estimate to come back to fix it and we scheduled for her and her crew to come do the work. I'm happy to say that the work was done very professionally and that we haven't had any unusual water loss over the past two weeks since they finished it. I can't recommend them highly enough! Tonja really knows what she is doing and we're happy she was able to fit us into her schedule. I've even got a consultation set up with her to talk about remodeling our waterfall!

"I am addicted to the sound of running water"
We really enjoy the relaxing sounds of the waterfall as it gently caresses the contoured sides of the rocks on its way down stream. I love its magical music to lull you to sleep at night (on the nights I can leave my window open some). We have many, many birds that use the water to bathe and drink every day. They are very happy with this addition to the neighborhood!

"Our water feature enriches our lives beyond measure"
We greatly enjoy how the cascading, recycling water enhances the natural ecosystem, providing a birthing place and home for dragonflies and other beneficial aquatic insects, and attracting seasonal birds, squirrels, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. In short, as the focal point of our hillside backyard, our water feature enriches our lives beyond measure, providing a peaceful, inviting, refreshing (and educational!) place to relax and rejuvenate.

"Tonja is the Picaso of Rock and Water!"
It was a pleasure and an amazement to watch Tonja, Alex and Jaime transform a plot of dirt and weeds into an incredibly natural-looking multi-level waterfall. Moreover, each person in Andreatta Waterscapes was a pleasure to work with as the construction process evolved and new ideas were introduced and enacted to improve the initial concept. This resulted in a work of art in stone and water.

"Tonja has an eye for design"
Tonja has an eye for design. She not only improved the functionality of my water feature, she enhanced it’s appearance by using materials I already had in my yard. I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Tonja and her company!

"Watching Tonja and her team work was fascinating"
When we called Tonja Andreatta we had no idea just how fabulous her work was. She took a blank hillside, a general idea from us, rocks right off our property, and her creative talents and created a masterpiece. It is a living work of art. Watching Tonja and her team work was fascinating. Every stone is deliberately placed. The result: By day you would think it was made by nature and has been here forever. By night, the lights make it magical. It you are looking for something natural with a rustic charm and high quality you should definitely contact Tonja!
