Koi fish, or more specifically Nishikigo (literally “brocaded carp”), are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp. The word “koi” comes from Japanese, simply meaning “carp.” It includes both the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties. A homophone of koi means “love, affection” and koi are therefore symbols of love and friendship in Japan.

As a United States Marine stationed in Japan, John Dillon, Owner of Outdoor Magic Inc., was exposed to the spectacular gardens, ponds and koi fish, which comprise Japan’s landscape. During his time there, John developed a strong interest in the Japanese pond-building techniques and concepts used to create these magnificent designs.
Upon his return to the U.S., John founded Outdoor Magic Inc. – a full-service pond contractor specializing in the design, installation and maintenance of ponds and water gardens with a Japanese flair.

Outdoor ponds do require maintenance in order to keep them clear, healthy and beautiful at all times.
