“I love getting to design and build amazing custom water features and try to recreate nature. I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, anything sports related, and am a huge fan of The Office and Harry Potter.”

“I enjoy creating unique ecosystems that promote wildlife. My favorite part is meeting all of our great customers who chose us to build their water feature. I love to thrift – one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Turning our home garden into a wildlife sanctuary for a safe haven has been rewarding.”

“One of the main things I enjoy about Pond Country is the creative process. It’s great to be able to take a blank slate & then see the enjoyment when a customer sees it for the first time! I enjoy time with family, watching sports, & relaxing outdoors. The sound of a waterfall while sitting beside a fire can’t be beat.”

“I’ve always liked helping our customers at the Mooresville location learn about pond ownership, selling them new water pets, fish, and providing knowledge to them so that they may love their time by their pond.”

JUSTIN TINGLE

“I get to create a natural setting among rural and suburban locations that generally would only have basic yard components like patios, pergulas and man-man structures. I love word-working, music, abstract art, and archery.”
