Going green

Aquascape’s vision focuses on an ecosystem approach to water features that relies on the most natural balance of circulation, filtration, plants, fish and rocks and gravel to ensure sustainability. As a natural evolution, Aquascape strengthens and cultivates its commitment to the environment and the responsible use of water.

Water is our planet’s greatest resource and Aquascape is dedicated to providing natural, responsible and creative landscape solutions. In 2008 we focused on a business strategy that is fully committed to environmental sustainability. In addition to our ecosystem pond philosophy, Aquascape extols the therapeutic benefits of the water gardening lifestyle and current research confirms and strengthens that position.

The release of the preliminary Sustainable Sites Initiative report in November 2007 affirmed that “natural environments play an important role in enhancing human health and well-being.” The report further states that managed natural elements attract customers, and improve real estate values, among other benefits. (Standards & Guidelines: Preliminary Report. November 1, 2007. www.sustainablesites.org.)

Mainstream organizations embrace Aquascape’s ecosystem philosophy. Aquascape currently provides ecological solutions for wetland restoration and storm water management in numerous locations, and is poised to further expand its environmental position through new product development initiatives. New product development remains at the forefront of Aquascape’s environmental and business strategy. Environmentally-focused, innovative products are currently being developed and tested.

Distributors, contractors, and retailers from across North America participated in the construction of Aquascape’s 250′ x 90′ signature water feature under the direction of Ed Beaulieu, Chief Sustainability Officer for Aquascape. Initial excavation for the 600,000-gallon pond began several weeks before more than 600 eager participants representing over 250 companies arrived for the “World’s Most Extreme Pond Build” from July 12-16, 2008. The Extreme Pond Build provided advanced hands-on training for hundreds of Aquascape customers.

Since the interior design of Aqualand, Aquascape’s headquarters in St. Charles, Illinois, incorporated bringing the Illinois prairie inside the building, Beaulieu wanted to take that philosophy one step further by recreating the Illinois watershed in the extreme pond’s design. Nestled in the midst of this area’s 10-foot berm, staggered with limestone to represent Northern Illinois, is a waterfall grotto. Beaulieu’s goal with the grotto was to incorporate Karst topography, which is a landscape created by groundwater dissolving sedimentary rock. Land forms such as tunnels and caves are typical in this type of topography. Water seeps into and through these land forms, and the Extreme Pond’s grotto is no exception.

Moving toward the center section, the pond reflects the flat marshy terrain of central Illinois’ farmland. Slow moving water and deep pools with lush vegetation were incorporated into this area of the design. It’s here that Beaulieu added the deepest part of the water at 10 feet, allowing a fish tunnel to be installed so koi would have a place to hide from would-be predators.

At the very southern end of the pond, a cypress swamp was incorporated into the design. Bald cypress trees were planted to mimic Southern Illinois’ vegetation and large logs were placed for visual interest. The logs were previously excavated from the property and saved to be used specifically for Aquascape’s extreme pond.

Filtration in the area was designed to mimic nature. In nature, groundwater is filtered through several feet and many layers of soil and sand before reaching the aquifers. Aquascape’s signature pond consists of 3 to 5 feet of gravel. The gravel bed provides an ideal home for bare root aquatic plants that absorb nutrients, forcing the plants to grow rapidly. The root zone is biologically active and is responsible for breakdown of organic compounds. Since excess nutrients contribute to algae growth, the plants in the wetlands area of the pond help to control algae and keep water clarity optimal.

For visitors to Aquascape’s signature pond, there is a large grassy peninsula at the eastern edge, which makes way to flat limestone slabs that act as stepping stones toward the building. Transitioning from the stepping stones to the building is a series of man-made deck “stepping stones” created from recycled plastic. Interactive areas were incorporated throughout the water feature and the peninsula is a key area to spend time enjoying the surrounding watery views. The patio adjacent to the grotto’s waterfalls is another favorite viewing area due to the captivating views and availability of lounging areas.

The AquaGardens are open to the public year-round during daylight hours. Plan your visit.
