Corey + Rick, clients of W+M agent Becky Elhardt
It all started with Corey + Rick inheriting a small pond when they purchased their home with the help of West + Main agent Becky Elhardt. The space was perfect for it, but they wanted a bigger, 7500-gallon hybrid pond instead.
““Be patient, do your research, and remember to have fun - part of the adventure is getting there.””
The original pond was small, and they wanted something much larger to house their fish. As the avid do it yourselfers that Corey + Rick are, they quickly jumped onto the project. It started with removing their original pond - digging up some concrete and dirt. From there, the project got much more tedious. It took them lots of trial and error and more professional help than originally intended.
They knew they wanted to incorporate lower maintenance, fish and a natural rock infrastructure. However, they didn’t fully realize this would entail a much larger budget. Corey + Rick were lucky enough to have the help of one of their close friends, Craig Gagne of Gagne’s Concrete. Bringing Craig onto the project was a life saver, as he has “an impeccable attention to detail and commitment to seeing every aspect of the project through to completion and excellence.”
Corey's favorite moment was watching Rick and Craig transform her backyard into a sandbox playground, gleefully playing with the Bobcats like children. After a much anticipated journey to completion, Corey + Rick have a fully functioning and beautiful koi water garden pond.
