About Oklahoma Ponds

Jay Villemarette & Family - Owner Of Oklahoma PondsOur story starts back in 1989 when our late grandfather, Joe Villemarette, aka Patio Joe, opened Patio Garden Ponds, the state’s first pond retail store. In 2003, the family retired from the brick and mortar retail store. Now, we serve the OKC metro area as the city’s premier pond contractor, Oklahoma Ponds.

Today, Jay Villemarette Jr. leads Oklahoma Ponds. He began his water gardening and koi career at just 15 years old when Patio Joe gave him his first job working in the nursery and helping customers with their pond questions. The knowledge and experience Jay received as a teenager working with his grandfather was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with garden ponds and koi care. Jay is now a Master Certified Aquascape Contractor and his team is ready to build you your perfect pond!

Jay and his install team are exceptional. l presented them with a space restricted area to beautify with a spherical fountains they offer, and they produced a finished product that I could not be happier with. They are easy to work with, very professional and efficient. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed!

Colby and Darian are a couple of “go getters”. They work hard, know what they are doing and are polite men. They have a bright future. As an added bonus my pond looks so much better after they cleaned and remodeled my water fall. As a final touch they asked if there was anything else they could do for me so they cleaned up the aquatic plants which I had removed.

Had my pond cleaned! Young man named Colby did an excellent job! He was very professional, friendly, explained what he was going to do and explained what all he did when finished. I would recommend Oklahoma Ponds to anyone!

Needed to have some of our lights adjusted and switched out in our waterfall. Cody came out promptly and made sure all the lights were adjusted and changed out ones that weren’t working. Pondless waterfall looks beautiful!

Highly recommend Oklahoma Ponds! We had a frustrating water loss problem around our waterfall/pond. Colby, from Oklahoma Ponds, carefully repositioned the liner, reset the rocks, and stopped the water from escaping. He also rearranged the rock border so it looked even better than before. Professional, knowledgeable, and focused on solving the problem without making it a bigger job than necessary. It's great to find a company that shows up, does what they say they're going to do, and takes pride in how the finished job looks. Very pleased with the work and wouldn't hesitate to call Oklahoma Ponds again. Highly recommended!

Oklahoma Ponds did an amazing job building our waterfall. Jay spent time with us discussing options and then took us to see a previous job. Very impressive. When it came time to build James and Darian led an excellent team. James followed up with return trips to ensure the exceeded my expectations. He took ownership of the project to be sure he was also satisfied with the final product. Any calls or trips to the office were received by a smiling and helpful Madeline. We could not be more pleased.
