Store News: March...Before the Thaw

Folks ask me, "what do you do in the winter time?". I always chuckle. We work just as much, if not more, in the winter time as we do during the season. Winter time is the time to retool, upgrade, and improve our business for the customer. Pffffeeeewww! It's been a crazy busy winter! Here's just a few things we managed to complete. Hopefully winter is over! 

 Display area...What Display Area?

 We filled in our ponds! Why? Would you believe me if I said we did not have to bring in one shovel load of dirt to do so? It's true! When we built the ponds & waterfalls originally, we spread it out over the area and piled it up where we needed it. So, naturally, it was still there. We moved it around and around until the holes were filled in. The displays at PondMarket were originally built to show the DIY customer how to build a pond and waterfall. Now, it's time to show folks what a full time, professional, and experienced crew can do! The display area makeover will not be a seminar, but, the boys are gonna start building the retaining walls and custom stone patio this weekend. The water features, fire features, custom stone patio and sidewalk will follow that. It'll be wrapped up in a couple weeks. Feel free to come by and watch real professionals install a masterpiece! 

Mobile Friendly Website

PondMarket.com is now mobile friendly. Nothing like procrastinating...for 5 years! It's easily accessible via smart phone & tablet for free e-books, online shopping, store hours, appointments, phone number, estimates, and general inquiries. I am proud to announce that the entire site is in the process of a complete overhaul that I started  last fall. The new site will be loaded with interactive features.

Thank you, the customer, for making this possible.

St. Louis Home and Garden Show

 

St. Louis Home & Garden Show

Thanks to over 200 store patrons that visited us at the St. Louis Home and Garden Show! I hope you got your free fish coupons. We met many new faces and made a ton of appointments for pond-free waterfall installations, boulder fountains, home illumination, koi pond installations, and a swimming pond design!  Tons of folks were excited to find that there is a store in St. Louis dedicated to water features and water feature installation. Everyone at PondMarket takes pride in being the only store centered around water features, waterfalls, and koi ponds in STL with a full time installation and service crew.

  "Nothing Runs Like A Deere"

PondMarket's Newest Fleet Addition

Let me be the first to tell you that this is handier than all the smaller excavators and bobcats we use. It's two machines in one and the power is truly unbelievable. We picked this up last fall and to say "nothing runs like a Deere" is the gosh darn truth. This little guy will move 2000lb rocks around! Hard to believe isn't it? This John Deere has paid for itself already!.


 Those are the main highlights of the past winter. Inventory is in. It's supposed to be in the 50s this weekend and all next week. I saw 60s in the ten day forecast, but, I am from the "Show-Me" state, so I'll believe it when it happens. Hopefully we can all get outside and enjoy our gardens from Saturday on. The store is stocked up and ready to go for our customers. We all look forward to seeing you again! 

Cheers,
