“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.”

“Working at Pond Country gives me the opportunity to help people experience peace through a newly conceived idea of backyard exploration. I enjoy sipping a cup of coffee in the wee hours of the morning, by my pond, and it always tastes better with a water view.

“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 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.”

“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.”
