In my experience, people don't generally ask for Koi Ponds because frankly, the number of water gardens to actual Koi Ponds is very lopsided. Tons of advertising is out there for water gardens. If there is advertising for traditional Koi Ponds, it is very little, In fact, I haven't seen any in my area! I have never tried to talk someone into a watergarden who had wanted a traditional Koi Pond. I can't speak for others. I can't see how a person (client) could pay thousands of dollars for something they they didn't want in the first place. The old saying "buyer beware" is true whenever a person is shopping, especially for big ticket items.
