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!

Colby did a great job getting our pond clean. My husband used to clean it until his health declined and he wasn't able to. Unfortunately, although he used approved pind products to keep it clear and healthy for our fish, it had not been cleaned in 3-4 years. Colby spent over five hours on it and it looks amazing! We have two streams so there was plenty to do. He also thinned out the plants and fixed a leak in one of the stream. From the day I walked into their office, the Oklahoma Pond team was fantastic. Definitely recommended!! We will use them again!

Roberto did a wonderful job cleaning my little pond/waterfall. He helped me look for a controller beyond what he needed to do. And Most importantly he picked up the bull frog that had jumped out and gently placed him back in the pond.
