Matt & Carmen Twyman158 days agoThe Fish are Jumping with Joy! Very pleased with service and quality. Our koi pond needed some deep cleaning and TLC and First State Ponds did a great job— my large koi are literally jumping and playful in their cleaned up space. Communication and scheduling was seamless- I was able to book an appointment, have my questions answered (and get quote up front). On time arrival, knowledgeable owner, tidied everything up after job. Owner gave me some valuable tips for maintenance. My go-to for pond maintenance going forward!+1Posted on Google

Wm. Anthony Bell183 days agoFive stars for Erik and his crew. They handled my complex pond setup with ease and were incredibly helpful throughout the process. It’s hard to find people who actually understand the mechanics of a difficult system, but they made it easy and left it spotless.+1Posted on Google

I recently had the pleasure of working with Erik from First State Ponds, and I can't recommend him enough. Erik traveled all the way from Delaware to Maryland to service my pond, which was having persistent issues with murky water. Before connecting with Erik, I had already been advised by another company to purchase a specific filter and pump. Thankfully, I found First State Ponds just in time. Erik took the time to explain that while the recommended filter might clear my water, it would require constant maintenance. He suggested a different filter and a stronger pump, but he was also willing to install the one I had already purchased if I preferred. After some consideration, I decided to take his advice and returned the original filter to have him install his recommended system. After struggling with murky water all summer, l admit, I was a bit skeptical. I wasn't sure that anything would truly work. But Erik's recommendation exceeded even his own predictions. Within just two days, the water was crystal clear! I didn't really think that was possible. There were a few challenges during installation and I admit this was 100% due to a few things I had set up prior to meeting Erik. But he handled them seamlessly, troubleshooting as needed. For the issues that couldn't be addressed that day, Erik provided me with helpful suggestions on how to finish the job myself. While I initially found the price a little high, after seeing the fantastic results, answering my many questions (including a few the following day), and delivering on everything he promised, I can confidently say he earned every cent. If you're looking for quality service, prompt responses, and impressive results, I highly recommend First State Ponds. Erik and his team are truly top-notch.Posted on Home Advisor

Erik and his team were awesome. Showed up exactly when they said they would went above and beyond to get my pond, clean and running again. I had a leak which they found and fixed and had to wait a few days to turn the pump back on. Erik walked me through everything to make sure everything was running smoothly. Awesome service!!!!Posted on Angie's List

We are downstate in Lewes. First State Pond is upstate but they still have provided very prompt service (usually same day or next day). They are knowledgable and easy to work with. Our pond is seven years old; it is clean, the fish are healthy and active, our waterfall is easy to maintain and runs 100% of the time (even with this January's cold snap) and the auto-fill functions perfectly. Were we to need to expand or rebuild any aspect of our pond, we would have First State Pond do the design and do the work. Finally, compared to other pond services we have had over the years, their prices are extremely fair (often less costly than the competition).Posted on Angie's ListKatharine E.750 days agoArrived on time, fixed and cleaned the pond, cleaned up before they left and I have a clean and functioning pond!
