Project Highlight: Pinkerton’s Turtle Pond

When Pat first called Stonebridge, it was for a leak at her store’s pond. What she got was so much more than a repair—it was a complete transformation that built lasting trust.

So when it came time to create a safe, beautiful home for Pinkerton, her beloved turtle, she knew exactly who to call.

From custom depth to protect against predators to thoughtfully designed rock edges that keep Pinkerton safe, this front yard pond was built with purpose at every level.

Watch the videos to see Pinkerton’s Oasis and hear Pat’s story—then dive into the full story on our blog.

Thank you Pat for taking the time to share your story with us! Support her business Pat’s Games for all of your Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, and other game needs.

Why is Your Pond Losing Water? A Guide to Pond Leak Detection and Repair

Is your pond losing water faster than usual? Before you assume the worst, take a breath—not every water feature losing water is actually a leak. But if it is a leak, catching it early can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.

Here in the Austin area and Texas Hill Country, ponds, koi ponds, ecosystem ponds, and pondless waterfalls all experience some natural water loss—especially during those long, hot Texas summers. The key is knowing when it’s normal… and when it’s time for pond leak repair in Austin.

Read our latest blog post to find out what might be causing your leak, and what to do about it!

Family Fun: Our Oldest Son is a Thespian!

Even though it seems like we’re always working, we do find time to support our kids’ other passions. Our oldest son is a budding thespian who has really come into his own through this amazing educational theater program. Last weekend he took the stage as Mufasa in the Lion King in his first featured production, and blew us all away!

If you have kids who are interested in dance or theater and could use an amazing program that brings out the best in them through compassionate, supportive education we cannot recommend Elevate Performance Company at Balance Dance Studios enough. They are holding auditions for their 2026-2027 education program in May, check them out!

Thank you as always for supporting our family business so we can support our kids in becoming all they can be.

In Service,

Ana, Eric, and The Stonebridge Team
