Pond builders and water garden specialists dig and line new ponds, build koi ponds and water features, fit pumps and filters, and come back to clean and service them. A new pond usually means a deposit to book the job and buy liners and equipment, then stage payments as the work goes on, and many customers also pay for spring and autumn cleans or regular maintenance visits. A payments app that sends deposit and stage links, collects maintenance as regular payments and keeps a clear record can win pond builders, and every garden owner who pays them sees your app.

Collect maintenance as regular payments

A monthly or seasonal payment for cleaning and servicing gives pond builders steady income through the winter, when few new ponds are dug.

Grow through garden and fish businesses

Pond builders work alongside landscapers, garden centres and aquatic shops. When those businesses take payments through your app, each pond builder can bring more of them onto it.
