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!

Absolutely an A-1, excellent shop and personnel to deal with in all regards. Jay at the front desk has experience and knowledge to answer pond and fish questions and help you in building your own water feature and stocking it with koi and gold fish. Along , with Sandy at the front desk, they've made all my dealings with them a pleasure. As to service calls and personnel Colby has been my primary service contact and is competent and has a background and experience working in all aspects of the pond business from installation and maintenance to necessary chemical knowledge and fish - a pleasure to work with and gain knowledge from him. All the personnel have been a pleasure to work with and if you're looking to build a pond, this is the place to go and these are the people to talk to about any project you might have. I talk from my experience with a 10'X14' koi pond with 6 large (16"+) koi and numerous smaller koi, mosquito and growing babies. One of the pleasures in life is to simply go out and enjoy the pond/ waterfall/ and fish in the peace and quiet of the early morning and meditate - total relaxation that starts the day off right. Thanks to Jay and his staff.

If you want a koi pond, these are the guys to use. They did a great job and we love our new pond. The fish seem to love it too.

Our pond was PITIFUL! I’m old and recovering from a surgery and unable to take care of it any longer, so, it was either get help or have it filled in! Thank Heaven I found Oklahoma Ponds! Their serviceman Colby came out and within about 6-7 hours my Koi think they’ve died and gone to Heaven! What a job he did! I barely recognize the pond… it is BEAUTIFUL again. I can’t say enough about this company, except if you’ve got a pond… you need Oklahoma Ponds.. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

I always go here for chemicals and advice on caring for my Koi pond

Probably like alot of people, we "inherited" a koi pond / waterfall with the house we bought. And like alot of people, we were completely clueless about how to take care of it. Luckily I found Jay and he's been helping me out with every situation imaginable for about the last 5 years. He is quickly responsive and I've always felt like he is just as invested in my pond as I am. His crew is always great, they are personable, have the knowledge they need, and they always go the extra mile and make sure we are happy and that all my questions are answered. If you are in my boat, Jay is a great and very involved educator and truly wants you to understand your pond and your fish if you have them. One thing I appreciate is that he can communicate at whatever level you happen to be at. If you're a newbie, he won't overload you with too much information. He will work with you at your pace and tell you what you need or want to know at any given time.

The folks who work at Edmond Ponds are courteous and very knowledgeable. I would hire them again for any pond maintenance and everyone should visit their store. Such beautiful plants and koi!

Colby came out and cleaned up our pond that’s about 1000 gallons big! We had just purchased our home and it had been vacant for close to a year. So we have no clue when it was scrubbed and cleaned up last. So as you could imagine a big job to clean! Colby worked hard and got it all cleaned up. We have 15 goldfish that survived the winter! Thank you! Now to do the landscaping, get some koi and lights! 😃
