Consultation Programs

Aquatic Biologists, Inc is available to consult on all aspects of your lake or pond. ABI will help you learn about your pond needs, provide information for maintenance and provide ideas to help you get the most enjoyment from your pond as possible.

Not all pond owners require our full consultation services but may have a quick question regarding an issue with their pond, lake or water garden and need to be pointed in the right direction or need a second opinion. We can answer any brief questions you may have. While we attempt to be as detailed as possible we can only provide general answers to your pond questions without spending time learning about your unique system. If you require more help please choose one of the consultation options listed below.

Why have consultations?
Our services are a very sound investment instead of a cost, especially considering the money you save by taking advantage of our experience and efficient construction methods. Our fees are similar to what a Landscape Architect would charge. If we don't believe we can give you a better habitat value, we will tell you. For instance, if you want a muddy pond to water livestock, you don't need our help. If your dream is an aesthetically beautiful and natural aquatic habitat with low maintenance, we can get you to your goal. Compared to the actual cost of constructing a pond, our fees become a small portion of your habitat investment.
