Our Story

Tim is the Founder, Owner, President, designer, and builder of Frontier Ponds, Inc. He started in landscaping in 1986, running a successful business for many years. Eventually, he started incorporating ponds into his business to enhance his offerings to his customer base. As it turns out, he was quite gifted at envisioning as well as building ponds! This led Tim to building more and more ponds, learning everything he could learn about the process. Pond building was so enriching that he made the leap and started doing ponds full time in 2004, creating ponds, pondless waterfalls, and unique water features. He’s been talking to rocks ever since then.

He continues to network with other pond builders and manufacturers staying on top of his game. This has given him the knowledge to build amazing water features, identify issues with existing water features, and give our customers the best of the best. Since we are a relatively small business, we are able to focus more fully on our customers as we are not distracted by other income revenues. Building and maintaining Ponds, Pondless Water Features, and feature fountains is our business. Creating happy customers is our passion.

We are old school. We build a quality product that is easy for customers to maintain. Our customers deal directly with us…the owner, designer, and builder, on a daily basis. Nothing gets farmed out and we are fully involved in every build.

What you can expect from Frontier Ponds?

When you contact us we will ask you to send us some photos of the area you want to have your water feature or of your existing water feature. This helps us to envision what we would be working with. After reviewing your photos we will have a short phone call to get a better understanding of your needs. Based on this call we will set up a face-to-face meeting where we ask that all decision makers are present. We will be able explain what we can do for you and determine if Frontier Ponds is a good fit for your project needs.

With the information obtained we will develop a proposal for the work to be done which will be sent to you for your review and consideration and will answer any questions you may have. When you are satisfied with the proposal we will ask that you accept the proposal and provide us with a deposit to place your project on our production schedule.

From there Frontier Ponds will manage all aspects of the project, giving you the oasis of your dreams by the end of our project.

Then, going forward, we will contact you a couple times a year to get you registered for semi-annual maintenance. However, if you ever have any issues or questions we will happily discuss them with you.

On 4/19/2024 Mike Hoff had this to say:
Frontier came out to do the annual spring clean out of my pond, also I was losing alot of water daily asked if they could find my leak somewhere, maybe 5 to 10 minutes they found the leak and fixed it. Tried to do my own pond clean out before, I could not do as good a job as Frontier does. When they get done with my pond it is gorgeous and clean. A couple big rocks fell into the pond, they were returned to where they came from. Been using Frontier for years, never disappointed. Great job

To: Frontier Ponds Subject: Pond Owner I have a large gazebo in my backyard, as well as hundreds of plants and trees. Sitting in the screened in enclosure with the Frontier Pond running alongside making the wonderful sounds of running water, with lights that go on in the evening, is Simply Magnificent. I highly recommend Frontier Ponds if you value beauty and efficient service. No one is even close. I give them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jerry K Elmhurst, IL Testimonial written by Jerry K on this site.
