Best of the best! They were so amazing we named two of our fish after them. These guys really do care about their work. Their passion and humor made it my favorite project that I’ve ever done at my home. My koi are so happy in their new pond!

My water feature seemed to be leaking water and it definitely needed cleaning. I hired Thomas and Tom Tripp, a father and son run business to service my feature. They thoroughly cleaned the feature, inspected the rock boarder and adhesives and carefully checked the liner for holes. None were found. Mr. Tripp made several helpful suggestions concerning the frequency at which I must add water to the feature. He noted that my edge vegetation was taking over the edge rocks despite my cutting it back several times a year and impeding the water flow. He also suggested that my pump might be a larger size than needed to circulate water for the volume and slope of my feature. After some short period of evaporation, this may possibly cause water to be pushed out of the pump well faster than it can flow down the four water falls in the feature. I have been monitoring this and suspect he may be correct. I was very happy with the work, expertise and followup of Aquatic Gardens Custom Pond Designs & Installation. They have checked with me several times since their service to inquire how my feature was running. I will hire again.

Thomas Tripp and his son came out and cleaned and got the patio pond up and running at my new home. They listened to me and didn't try to push for things I didn't want. They were pleasant and professional and I would definitely have them maintain my water feature.

Thomas did a great job deep cleaning the dirty fish pond that came with the house I purchased. I especially appreciated the time he took to teach me about pond care and maintenance. Now I know my own pond system inside and out and he gave me tips on improving it, which I was able to do myself. Very reasonably priced for the work and knowledge, 10/10!

Details: Outdoors • Pond • No repairs needed only maintenance • Spring maintenance - clean-out as weather gets warmer
