illi News/10311343

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Midwest Pond Features & Landscape, a design-build firm specializing in custom water features, announced a seasonal push to help homeowners transform tired yards into living, low-maintenance retreats just in time for late-summer and fall outdoor living. From new koi and ecosystem ponds to leak repairs, pondless waterfalls, and decorative fountains, the company reports heightened demand across Chicagoland as residents seek sustainable upgrades that boost curb appeal and daily calm.

Homeowners aren't just asking for a water feature, they want a living ecosystem that's beautiful, quiet to run, and built for Midwest weather," said Sulaiman Imam, owner of Midwest Pond Features & Landscape. "Whether it's a brand-new pond or a smart renovation of an older feature, we're designing spaces that attract birds and pollinators, recirculate water efficiently, and make the backyard the best room of the house."

What homeowners are choosing this season

• Custom koi & ecosystem ponds   Clear water, natural rock placement, and biological filtration for long-term clarity and fish health.
  
  
• Pondless waterfalls   A big-impact, small-footprint option ideal for families and compact yards.
  
  
• Decorative fountains   Architectural accents that add movement and sound to front entries or patios.
  
  
• Repairs & leak detection   From liner issues to pump upgrades, targeted fixes restore aging features without a full rebuild.
  
  
• Seasonal cleanouts & maintenance   Eco- and fish-safe service plans keep water features healthy year-round.
  
  

"Not every overgrown or leaky pond needs to be torn out," Imam added. "A thoughtful renovation upgrading circulation, right-sizing the pump, or rebuilding a stream can deliver crystal-clear results and extend the life of the feature for years."

A streamlined, homeowner-friendly process
