Celebrity Koi Pond Build in Hollywood, LA - Collaboration with Aquascape

12/11/2017

1 Comment

 
One of the perks to being a Certified Aquascape Contractor is being invited to the cool events and unique pond builds all across North America.  On this occasion Tussey Landscaping was invited to participate in a pond build for YouTube star Logan Paul in LA. He just recently purchased a home in Hollywood, and mentioned in one of his videos that he wants to put in a koi pond. The phone of Greg Wittstock, owner of Aquascape, blew up with people telling him Aquascape should install one for him. 

So on the first week of December, a legion of CAC's descended into LA, teamed up, and knocked out a gorgeous pond with a bridge, a beautiful stream, and bubbling urns.

The event was originally planned as a two day build. But Logan couldn't be there after noon on the second day, so the goal was to have it finished by 10 AM the following day. We got out the lights, rallied late into the night and got it 90% completed on the first day. There were many bone tired people that night, as a lot of them were from the East Coast with a 3 hr time difference. But it paid off. The pond was coming together nicely. 

The next morning the CAC team worked to finish up the details and clean up while Greg Wittstock and Logan Paul went to go pick out fish in the 'Cool Bus'. Logan had not seen the pond yet. ​A big curtain was set up to hide the pond so that it couldn't be seen from the house. When Greg and Logan arrived at the house with the fish, everyone gathered behind the curtain except for Logan and his gang, and the curtain was dropped for the dramatic reveal.

As an additional surprise, Kamp Kenan was there from Florida to give him an albino soft shell Chinese turtle. Logan loved it and the turtle was added to the Maverick team. 
Logan was thrilled. His backyard now not only has a koi pond, but beautiful bubbling urns, waterfalls, and a bridge that crosses over to his gym. It really is a peaceful area. Enjoy the finished photos below. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Nature Ages Beautifully
koi pond, Hollidaysburg PA

This beautiful koi pond in Hollidaysburg Pa is just shining in natural beauty. Nothing ages as beautifully as nature. This particular water feature was installed 7 years ago by Tussey Landscaping's water feature artists. The plants, fish, and landscape have had time to mature and just melt into nature, blurring the lines between what was touched by man's hand and what God has touched with the breath of life. 

It is therapeutic to sit at the waters edge, watch the fish swimming in constant motion, the flowers swaying in the summer evening breeze, and the melody as the water crashes and falls and finds it course into the pond's still water below. As the evening fades into night, the lighting brings out beauty in a way not known before. Perfect place to let time melt into infinity as you sit beside your spouse and enjoy the sweet fragrance of the blooming flowers. Let the cares of the day fall away...

Things to Consider When Getting a Water Feature Built

2/24/2017

0 Comments

 
​Water features are the jewel of the backyard! Or we should say, can be to jewel of the backyard. When improperly built, unfortunately that is not the case. 
Copper Bowl Fountain in Koi Pond | Bellefonte Pa
​Have you or one of your friends ever dealt with a poorly built water feature? Did you make a sizable investment into what you were hoping would beautify your backyard, only to be disappointed by a cantankerous non-functioning eyesore? Unfortunately every year we are called in to people’s homes where they tried to install a water feature through an inexperienced contractor, and long story short, they now have a disaster in their backyard. It is too bad, as these people that tried to go cheap, now end up spending much more to fix the problems and get it installed right.
 
As the 2015 Top Frog Award recipient, no one is more qualified or has more experience in water features than Tussey Landscaping. The Top Frog Award is awarded to the top Certified Aquascape Contractor and includes contractors worldwide. In 2015 Tussey was the top CAC. We have decades of experience, which allows us to design and create the best water features that require the least maintenance, which means you get maximum enjoyment.
 
This project shown above was constructed by a major landscaping company in State College Pa. It took an entire summer for them to complete, was costly, and was installed incorrectly on many points.
 
  • No biological filtration, which in turn caused uncontrollable horrible water conditions
  • Improper pumps and plumbing causing high energy consumption
  • Poor quality construction, loose unsafe boulders causing hazards
  • Improper Lighting
  • Inferior artistic quality
 
We always feel bad for these folks this happens to. Tussey Landscaping was called in to advise, and we identified all the problem areas and considered options with the homeowner. Tussey installed the necessary biological filtration, removed the unsightly plumbing mess and installed the proper pumps and plumbing, and rebuilt the majority of the stream to create a more natural mountain stream look. We also installed 5 yr warranty LED underwater lighting for that 5 star resort ambiance.
 
Above you can see the finished results. Check out the difference! While we did not entirely rebuild the whole pond, we installed what was necessary to provide crystal clear water conditions and make it actually enjoyable. For Tussey to install an entire project of the same size, would take 5-6 working days, not all summer.
 
5 Things to Consider Before Making a Decision:
  • Does your contractor have the experience and knowledge necessary to build water features?
  • Does your contractor stand behind his work? Ask to see other projects they’ve done and ask their clients what their experience was like working with the company.
  • Does your contractor have the artistic talent and ability to satisfy your expectations?
  • Will the water feature your contractor is building have the necessary Aquascape System biological filtration?
  • Is your contractor certified and trained in water features? Tussey Landscaping is a Certified Aquascape Contractor (CAC) for nearly 20 years.

How To Get Crystal Clear Water In My Pond in State College Pa

2/24/2017

Koi Pond with Clear Water | State College Pa | Tussey Landscaping
​Are you struggling to achieve the water quality you would like? Cloudy water, or excessive algae? We’ve got the solution for you. No one is more qualified than the experts at Tussey Landscaping, based out of Hollidaysburg Pa, and servicing State College, Altoona, Bedford, and Johnstown areas.

​Your Aquascape Ecosystem pond is a living breathing body of water with all the functions of nature; just like a lake or river in the wild. With the Aquascape system, your pond will have everything in place to harbor that biological life.
 
To start and maintain this biological life, you need to add beneficial bacteria to your pond regularly. And there are products available to treat with manually, but the absolute best solution that’s ever been available is the Aquascape Automatic Dosing System. At Tussey Landscaping, we have been in the water gardening world for 20 years, and never has there been a solution available that is this effective and consistent.
 
The results from the Auto Dosing System are much better than anything we ever tried before, in fact the water quality is flawless.  It’s better than even when you may have been very consistent with manually treating your pond with the beneficial bacteria.
 
The Auto Dosing System is a small unit that is installed close to your skimmer box and a 1/4” line is run into the skimmer. The system is then programmed for your pond, and it precisely treats your pond with the exact amount of bacteria needed. It works kind of like an IV, with a bag, and a pump that slowly drip feeds the treatment into your pond 24/7.
 
The bacteria that is used with the Auto Dosing System is more effective than the bottled Beneficial Bacteria you buy off the shelf. The reason for this is that someone could overdose with the bottled bacteria you treat with manually, therefore Aquascape must create the formula in a way that will safeguard it against that chance, so that it will not hurt your fish or plants and ecosystem. However the Auto Dosing System eliminates human error, and there is no risk of overdose. Because of that the scientists at Aquascape can dial in that formula to exact proportions, which makes it be extremely effective and consistent. Much more so than any other product available.
 
To talk with a water feature expert about your pond or water feature, contact us today at 814.696.3700. We can get you set up and get your pond’s ecosystem going in the right direction, leaving only the enjoyment left, which you can do. J
