In Lodi, WI, a homeowner bought a home with a pond on the property that was deemed 'un-swimmable' because it had been historically maintained with algicides and harsh chemicals. Coulee Country was brought in and designed and implemented native vegetation, colonized healthy bacteria, and added purpose-built filtration, aeration, and circulation systems to allow this pond to maintain wildlife and vegetation and yet still be safe for family swimming.
The natural water feature was drained, reshaped, lined, and reconstructed to allow for a natural, in-water staircase to safely access the pond from the shore. Coulee also established two waterfalls that are both aesthetically pleasing and allow for proper circulation.
