I'm really into water features and want to add something special to my yard, like a koi pond or a small pond with a stream. I have no idea about the costs, especially since I'm located in central Virginia where local contractors charge for initial consultations. Could anyone give me a rough estimate of how much I should be saving for this? Additionally, if you have any tips on the ongoing maintenance costs for a koi pond, that would be great!

For a koi pond, you can expect to spend anywhere between $5,000 to $15,000, depending on how big and elaborate you want it to be. Just keep in mind that the features and materials can really influence the price! Got a source for you if you want to dive deeper into the details: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Koi/comments/tchyo0/how_much_does_a_koi_pond_cost_how_much_does_it/)
If you're looking at something like an 8x11 koi pond with a waterfall and a bit of plants, I'd estimate around $12,000 to $15,000, depending on how easy it is to access your property for installation.
Got it! When you mention access, do you mean getting equipment to the site from the road?
Thank you for the info!
