Aquascape's history and inspiration

Aquascape was founded by Greg Wittstock in 1991 and has grown from a single pond project to a world leader in natural water environments.

Together with Ed Beaulieu and Brian Helfrich, the company paved the way for sustainable, ecosystem-based pond and stormwater solutions that combine beauty, ecology, and function.

Aquascape's proven technology and global network of certified contractors make Aquascape the obvious standard – from private gardens to large municipal projects.

You may have seen them on YouTube, where ordinary gardens are transformed into living works of art.

The gold standard

Faunapoolen + Aquascape Inc

As an Aquascape Contractor, Faunapoolen represents the global gold standard for the design and construction of natural water environments.

We combine Aquascape's proven ecosystem technology with Scandinavian design principles – precision, minimalism, and harmony with nature.

Every project we create and build is a unique part of a global movement towards cleaner, greener, and more natural outdoor living.

We integrate Aquascape's BioFalls 6000 biological filter and Intake Bay system – the same components used in high-performance ecosystem ponds worldwide:

  • check_small100% fish-friendly materials and techniques.
  • check_smallBuilt to withstand Nordic seasons.
  • check_smallWe reuse natural materials such as soil, stone, and timber as much as possible instead of disposing of them as waste.
  • check_smallFaster municipal approvals = less bureaucracy.

We design each koi pond for a balance between biological filtration, natural aesthetics, and living habitat.

How it works.

We take care of everything – from the first idea to the finished project. Whether you choose a small, medium, or large koi pond package, we ensure it blends into your garden, meets your needs, and suits your environment.

You get a smooth process, a clear package price, and personal advice all the way.

We don't just build water environments. We make you love your garden again.

Our goal is a healthy pond.

Why Aquascape 1000 pond skimmer sets the standard.

Keeping your pond clear and balanced starts at the surface. The Aquascape Signature Series 1000 Pond Skimmer is the most advanced skimmer in Aquascape's range – built to keep the water crystal clear and protect the pump year-round.

The skimmer draws in debris from the water's surface – leaves, pollen, and twigs – before it sinks and decomposes. This means less sludge, less algae, and more time to enjoy the pond instead of cleaning it.

Faunapoolen's design aligns with Aquascape's proven and approved methods.

For each koi pond, we strive to reuse up to 97% of the soil that is removed.

Help nature along the way

  • check_smallLocal plants and fish that enhance the ecosystem

Installing a koi pond is not only good for nature – it's also a smart economic decision.

During the consultation, we are happy to discuss what opportunities may be relevant for your location.

I am very satisfied with the guys at Faunapoolen. I already had a design in mind, and the installation went smoothly. Plus, everyone was incredibly nice!

Appearance and material choices

Now it's time to choose the expression, materials, and details for your water environment. The right placement requires thoughtful planning – we strive for each design to blend naturally into the surroundings.

Equally important is the experience of seeing the water; since many environments are active year-round, the view from inside the home should be as inviting as the spot by the water.

365 days a year

Enjoy your koi even in winter

Our natural koi ponds are designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The water is filtered through pumps, stones, and plants, reducing the need for chemicals and providing a clean, sustainable water system for your fish.

Our low-voltage pumps keep energy consumption low, and the more often the pond is used, the better it thrives – even during the winter months.

Frequently asked questions

What types of water environments do you install? keyboard_arrow_down

We work with many types of high-quality and environmentally friendly water environments, including natural pools, koi ponds, waterfalls, fountains, streams, and water storage solutions.

Each design is customized to your space, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

How do Faunapoolen's water environments work? keyboard_arrow_down

Our water environments are based on a recirculating system where the water constantly moves through biological and mechanical filtration. This reduces both waste and maintenance — while providing you with clear, fresh water year-round. We use Aquascape's ecosystem, a proven method that mimics nature's own cycle. The result is a beautiful water environment completely free of harsh chemicals.

How much space do I need for a water environment? keyboard_arrow_down

Water environments can be designed for all types of spaces, from small bubbling fountains for compact gardens to larger ponds and waterfalls. Even in limited spaces, we can create a peaceful and sustainable water environment that enhances your garden.

Will the water environment work in my local environment? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! Every water environment is designed for your property and its surroundings. We consider the site's conditions, appearance, and function to create a design that harmonizes with your garden.

How do I choose the right water environment for my garden? keyboard_arrow_down

Choosing the right water environment depends on how large an area you have, what expression you want, and how much maintenance you want.

Do I need a large garden to install a water environment? keyboard_arrow_down

Not at all! Water environments come in various sizes and styles to fit all spaces. If you have a small patio, courtyard, or even a balcony, a bubbling stone fountain or a mini pond could be a perfect solution.

Can I customize the design of my water environment? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! Every water environment can be customized to your style and your plot. From natural stone and custom waterfalls to integrated LED lighting and water plants – your water environment can be as personal as your outdoor space. Whether you prefer a modern and sleek design or a natural and wildlife-friendly ecosystem, we work with Aquascape's sustainable products to create a water environment that follows your vision.

Will my water environment improve over time? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! A well-designed water environment develops beautifully over time as aquatic plants establish themselves, beneficial bacteria balance the ecosystem, and a natural patina enhances stone and wood. Over time, the water environment attracts more wildlife and creates a vibrant habitat that only gets better with the years.

Where are you located? keyboard_arrow_down

We are based in Sweden and work with customers across the country. Please contact us to see if we can assist in your area.

Do you work on projects in other EU countries? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! We take on selected international projects within the EU. If you are interested in a water installation outside of Sweden, contact us to discuss logistics and opportunities.

Do you offer paving, planting, and other garden services? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! In addition to designing and installing water environments, we also offer paving, patios, and retaining walls. We also work with planting, decorative garden design, and ecosystem-friendly plant choices.

Our goal is to create a cohesive outdoor environment that complements your water environment and highlights the natural beauty of your property.

How much does a water environment cost? keyboard_arrow_down

The price varies depending on size, material choices, and the complexity of the project. Smaller water environments, such as fountains or pondless waterfalls, are often more budget-friendly, while larger ponds or custom-designed natural pools require a larger investment.

Do you charge a fee for consultations? keyboard_arrow_down

Phone consultation: No fee. We offer a free initial phone consultation to discuss your project, answer questions, and provide general guidance.

Site visit: Yes, we charge a fee for on-site consultation. This includes a professional site analysis, expert recommendations tailored to your garden, and an initial discussion about the project. The fee covers a thorough review and is deducted from the total cost if you choose to proceed with the installation.

Are water installations maintenance-intensive? keyboard_arrow_down

Not at all! Water installations with Aquascape's filtration systems are designed to require minimal maintenance thanks to natural filtration. Routine care consists of removing leaves and debris, checking water levels, and performing seasonal maintenance.

We also offer maintenance and cleaning services to keep your water environment in top condition.

Do I need to keep my water installation running year-round? keyboard_arrow_down

You can choose whether to keep the water installation running all year or shut it down during the winter. Many appreciate the beautiful ice formations that occur during the cold months. If you prefer to shut it down, we are happy to assist you with proper winter preparation.

Do you service water installations that were not built by Faunapoolen? keyboard_arrow_down

Yes! We offer maintenance, repairs, and upgrades for water installations – regardless of who built them.

Whether you need a seasonal cleaning, improved filtration, leak detection, or a complete renovation, our team can help ensure your water installation operates optimally and looks fantastic.
