How Much Does the "Average" Pond Cost In Central Florida?

This is the first question people ask when they are “pondering” the addition of a pond to their Central Florida landscape.

How Much Does the “Average” Pond Cost?

While it sounds like a simple question, how much does an “average” pond cost? A true pond expert will take this question and ask for a definition of “average.”

The concept of “average” is difficult to define when playing with custom designed products. When it comes to ponds, each is individually crafted to fit the new environment, and as a buyer, you should keep in mind that the average numbers will fluctuate to your particular pond.
Ponds come in a variety of shapes, looks, and styles, depending on your space, budget and preferences.

 What does “Average” look like?

The most commonly built ponds in the Orlando area, are about 11’ x 16’ in size. Using these numbers, the “average” will begin around $12,000 but commonly rounds up to about $15,000-$20,000. Now this range depends on how many custom features the pond aspires to have. A pond alone may be around $12,000 (at that particular size), but add-ons that many people envision in a pond, such as plants, lights, waterfalls, fish, streams etc., will add to the base price.

Customizable Features

Why would the final price tag of a pond be vastly different than the base model? Ponds, like cars, are very customizable. Certain people only want the car with roll up windows and an AM/FM radio. While others want the leather seats with a navigation system and an engine push start button. So when you ask for a basic pond, it doesn’t include the add-ons that most people like in a pond. This will include fish, plants, lights, streams etc.  This can change the definition of what the average pond costs.
