About Oklahoma Ponds
Our 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!

Here's What Our Customers Say...
A few months back we decided to discontinue our koi pond and re-home our prize fish. For six months the pond laid vacant and neglected until we got the notion to repurpose it into a pondless water feature. After checking around on what the cost of that might look like, we were impressed with Oklahoma Ponds offer to keep our pond water feature intact by performing a thorough clean out and restart it first to assess if the feature was still operational and usable. To make a long story short, today we are happy with the services of Oklahoma Ponds to get us back up and running. We are back in business y'all, and happy we made the decision we did, thanks to Oklahoma Ponds.
I am BEYOND satisfied & happy with Oklahoma Ponds. 1st, Madeline always contacted me back quickly & very helpful & friendly. 2nd, technician Colby also responded very quickly, very informative & friendly. He showed up on time & explained the complete process & got right to work. When I got back from running errands, the approx 18' x 14' koi pond looked so beautiful. He went above & beyond. And, they beat their competitors prices. All our koi pond needs are WILL be serviced through Oklahoma Ponds. I posted before photos. I only took video of the after & i can't figure out how to attach. I hope they post some after pics so you can see just how beautiful it looks. Large waterfalls are running, skimmers all set. Thank you thank you thank you Colby & Okla Ponds!!!
The have done a great job servicing my Koi pond the last couple of years. Highly recommend
Jay and his crew did a very professional and timely job with installation of the koi pond. The staff are friendly and responsive. I am very pleased with the finished project.
We have been using Oklahoma Ponds for about 6 years now for servicing both our koi pond and waterfall for our pool. We have always received exemplary service! It’s refreshing to know that there are service companies that still place an importance on customer service! Thank you Oklahoma Ponds!
I work for a company in Moore, Oklahoma, and we have a koi pond (big, beautiful one out front for everyone to look at). The pond company that we used for the last 2+ years never seemed to be able to keep it clean, despite them coming out to service it (which does cost, yes), each week and also do clean outs every several month.The pond was always discolored; always was dirty and after our pond was cleaned recently by them, it seems 17 baby fish (one was half goldfish/half koi) were mysteriously gone and we only had the original fish we had. Strange, right? I called this company on the off chance that they were good (because I had only googled/looked around for other companies). They are not only good, they are the absolute BEST -hands down!!! They have literally only been to our pond site twice now and after the very FIRST visit (not joking), our pond was crystal clear!!! It's been AMAZING!! We are so happy, our fish are so happy (lol but true) and people that come to our office to do business just love admiring the pond and fish and we are finally happy to have that back again!! OKLAHOMA PONDS is number #1 in our book for sure!! - Happy to leave my name and my workplace just so people know this is legit and THE PLACE to call!! I would never call anyone else now!

We hired Jay at Oklahoma Ponds to build our Koi pond, and he did an absolutely fantastic job. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show—our pond turned out beautifully and has quickly become a favorite feature of our property. Jay was also great to work with throughout the process, always responsive and helpful in answering our questions. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a high-quality, expertly built pond.
As a new pond owner, I wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to cleaning and maintaining a koi pond—but hiring Oklahoma Ponds was the best decision I could’ve made. Colby did an absolutely amazing job and worked tirelessly from start to finish, taking the time to thoroughly clean every part of the pond. What really stood out was his knowledge and willingness to help. Cobly patiently answered all our questions and offered practical, thoughtful suggestions to improve the overall health of the pond and our koi. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the work he does and the well-being of the fish. Our pond looks better than ever, and we feel much more confident as new pond owners. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality work and expert advice!
