A new koi pond design developed by Dr. Tepper is the semi-inground koi pond. Uniting all the new state-of-the-art equipment with this design has many attractive features:

- In the same area as a traditional pond, this design allows 2X the water volume for improved water quality with high fish loads. This has proven to be ideal for homes where a high water table or underground structures limit digging down deeply

- The finished stone edging, 18" above ground, offers an ideal seating area to feed and enjoy your favorite koi

- This same 18" side wall helps reduce the danger for small children and minimizes leaf and debris collection, as well as storm runoff into the pond

- The deep, straight sides greatly reduce the losses caused by raccoons and herons
