Small Space - No Problem - Plunge Pools offer most of the benefits of the more expanded and spacious swim pond designs. Most importantly they provide a unique spot to immerse & cool off - to beat the summertime heat. They can be built to fit smaller available yard spaces. Designs range from a completely naturalistic look, to a combination of formal / natural (a hybrid design of sorts), to a full formal design that can be created to provide a non- commercialized or manufactu

Starting off with one of our favorite situations - a blank canvas to create, this backyard setting in a Malta, NY development will become completely transformed during the 2026 season. With natural elevation to work from, inlaid terraces with plateau zones will be created to provide a dramatic pondless waterfall presentation with the soothing sound of naturalistic water movement to echo off the surrounding woodland and house itself. The seemingly open backyard space will take

Nestled In the Green Mountains near Shaftsbury, VT resides a picturesque backdrop that is nothing short of jaw dropping. This will be the site for a major land renovation to create a liner based Natural Swim Pond for the client. Previously, the client had an excavation done by a company that does not specialize in ponds and this presented many problems for them. They were originally hoping for an Earthen Pond that could be used for swimming. Water retention, drainage, & ove

A road trip through snow squalls & whiteout conditions ended up delivering beautiful scenery on the client's private property recessed from the main road. The client originally planned on doing a DIY pond, but in doing their research to see what is involved in a larger scale recreation pond design / builds - decided to get more information from companies that do this work regularly. Listening to the client's wants & needs - we at Bio-Fusion Designs #biofusiondesigns have come

Amazing results occur when ponds on any scale mature into the landscape or space as each year passes. Over 3 years ago, we were contracted to create a smaller-scale water garden design to complement the contours of what was then new construction up in the Saratoga area of NY. This customer had a Koi pond previously and after moving to this new location - preferred to have the focus be on aquatic & marginal plants that will play off of landscape selections. How It Began: A Ba

The Bobcat Six Flags - The Great Escape We were not only contracted to create the massive high-flow waterfall system resembling Fjords - leading to the entrance of the ride, but were also there to produce a replication of their conceptual Front Entrance Themed Portal.  A collaborative process with tight deadlines, limited working space especially with massive boulders being used, and being tested in the utmost flexibility while achieving results - lead to a successful comple

Residing within proximity to a forever wild backdrop - this Large Scale Earthen Pond will boast massive rock placements to accentuate shoreline & in-pond enjoyment. Slated for early 2025, a spacious green space will be transformed into a watery backyard retreat that will be more than inviting for all the wildlife to participate in this amazing waterscape. Although the plan is for a natural Earthen Pond design, a liner-based custom stream will be a focal point from the balcony

The excitement for this 2025 project builds as we get closer. This will be an epic koi pond with a mind-blowing natural stone waterfall system due in part to the type & size stone that will be used in this project. A spacious setting with amenities that will now include a very special koi pond. Nestled next to the Mohawk River & surrounded by nature trails along it, this pond will add to the majestic beauty of this space. https://www.riversledge.com/ The natural geological

Looking forward to this Koi Pond Build Spring 2025 in Saratoga, NY. We often perform work on existing - aged properties and make the Pond or Water Feature come to life seamlessly within established parameters. Every year, we do however, encounter new construction in various developments or commercial settings - giving us blank canvases to plan a backyard or property experience in collaboration with the customer. This particular pond will have a complete / unique viewing at a

We will cover details as this progresses, but the overall theme will follow our specia

Two years ago we were contracted to take an old & failing in-ground swimming pool & transform it into a functional natural swim pond that invokes natural elements & interaction with wildlife. How It Started Bringing in dirt & performing precise concrete re-structuring along with a liner system, we were able to create the perfect base and template for what would become one of the most incredible recreation ponds in the Upstate NY area. Completed with over 88,000lbs of unique h

A very special project indeed. This one-of-kind recreation pond will reside on a private hilltop residence with a view to the Berkshire Mountains. Slated for early season in 2025, this pond will take shape involving some of the natural contours of the property, while paralleling the almost 40ft. Four Season room. Natural stone formations are found throughout the property and unique character stone will coordinate with these for a more than natural look. The thing that makes

It has been an honor & privilege to be chosen by Six Flags Great Escape - Lake George, NY for this build.  An amazing waterscape built off 60,000 lbs. of hand-picked natural stone.  There is a lot to see & immerse yourself here with a 30ft. circumference natural stone wall for sitting, unique stone pillars of which their new sign was affixed, rock face panels for the watercourse sawn off boulders harvested from an underwater quarry, an amazing petrified driftwood log, perenni
