Recent Fountains Reviews in Charlotte
- MA Outdoor Services LLCThe service was excellent. Everybody was stopping by our house to look at the work that they did. The quality was excellent. They used their artistic creativity to create a blue print. It looked phenomenal. They listened to what we asked for. We got a lot of complements from our neighbors. It looked awesome
- Let It Fly Backyard LivingBrandon and his team did a great job! The stream had a small leak that was very hard to find. They stayed on it for several days, using various methods, and finally found and fixed it. Others may have given up and recommended a new liner at significantly higher cost and impact to the area. I really appreciated the tenacity in their efforts to make it right
- Outdoor ContractingBill recently ripped out my old overgrown landscaping in the front of my house, and redesigned it to include Encore azaleas and other plants. The redesign is fantastic and I’m very happy with it. He also updated my yard with landscape lighting, which many of my neighbors have now commented how much they enjoy. I’ve previously had Bill and his team install a fountain, replace much of my poorly designed irrigation system (that came with the house when I bought it), and fix fencing for me when a tree came down, and the fencing required custom work. He and his team leads do great work. Bill is a perfectionist, and he always goes above and beyond. It's hard to find someone with this kind of work ethic nowadays
- Outdoor ContractingOur backyard belongs in an HGTV magazine now. It is beautiful and functional. The sitting wall and two plant walls negate the need for a lot of patio furniture. Even though it was installed in late fall and early winter, it is beautiful. We cannot wait for the spring to see the beautiful blooming plants everywhere. Bill selected plants for a variety of color and textures as well as attraction of butterflies and birds. One requirement was that it be low maintenance and by tying into our existing sprinkler system and selecting hearty plants, it should do that. As an engineer, Bill designed and built our pondless water fountain with a ring of fire where his goal was to have the fire dance over the rocks. It does just that and we love it. It will provide warmth on cool days and nights as well as the relaxing sound of water. We didn't want to attract animals from our wooded back yard and Bill recommended a pondless water feature to achieve that. Now all we need to do is replace the pansies in the plant wall in the spring and enjoy our new outdoor oasis
- Outdoor ContractingBill Botkin was very professional , communicative, punctual , delivered on expectations Work very high quality , on time , on budget Initiall was skeptical to pay a 'consultation fee ' which was applied to repair; but it was well worth it second project -they repaired an extensively damaged brick wall . Initialy the mortar did not quite match existing mortar so they took down repaired wall and rebuilt using mortar which matched exquisitely - that is definition of service and pride in your wor
- Outdoor ContractingIt went great from start to finish. Don't be in a hurry, and Bill will tell you that, as this company is very busy and makes sure everything is perfect before they move on to their next project.
- Outdoor ContractingWhen I first met with Bill, he asked me a lot of questions about what I wanted to see in the front yard. I am not a gardener and probably needed Bill because everything in the front yard was overgrown, covered with weeds, or just unsightly. I put my faith and my money in Bill's hands and just told him to make it look nice. When I arrived home on the last day of the job, I was so thrilled to see what Bill and his team had done. He surpassed all of my expectations and now I constantly receive compliments from the neighbors on how great the yard looks now. In addition, the team from Outdoor Life was punctual, kept me informed of any schedule changes, and they were perfectionists in everything they did. It is my plan to hire them again to do a backyard renovation next year
- Outdoor ContractingThis was a huge project for us and one that we had been waiting years to do. If you are not inclined to read the rest of this review, it can be summarized this way: You cannot choose anyone better than Bill and the team at Outdoor Life, we had a great experience and the results exceeded our expectations. He isn't going to be your lowest bidder - but he'll be the best. Now for the details... I interviewed multiple Angie's List top rated companies for about 1.5 years before finally choosing Bill. Given this was going to be a very large, time-consuming project I wanted to make sure I chose someone that I felt had the experience, interest and creativity needed to make our backyard special. Having worked with Bill over 2 months of this project, he and his team met all the qualities I was looking for. Bill and his team can basically do everything and they have the certifications/licenses to back that up. What differentiated Bill from most landscape professionals I interviewed was that he was working with his crew, onsite everyday. He isn't going to show up to your house in a pristine embroidered polo shirt - he is a professional that has his hands on everything. Bill is an engineer that also has an artistic side. We needed that for our project as we aren't the most creative/imaginative people, and trusted Bill to help us transform the backyard. Bill's personality synced well with our family - the family enjoyed he and his crew being around. On to the project... This was a big job as I mentioned earlier. Bill and team had to excavate out an old, very large brick patio, remove old timber retaining walls and grade everything to provide appropriate drainage around the back of our house. He installed a massive, concrete patio that has river stone embedded and sanded down flat. That is topped off with a slate border. It looks amazing and I haven't seen anyone else do this in town. Bill installed a pond with a small stream and waterfall. Admittedly I think this is one of the smallest ponds Bill has ever installed, but it looks amazing in our backyard. The water feature was something we were unsure of initially - but now that we have it and have lived with it, I wouldn't change a thing. Bill added (5) fairly large Koi as well, and we can change the flow rate of the waterfall with a wireless remote. If you have the room in your backyard, you really should consider doing this. With 4 younger children at home, we also wanted to do something for them. Bill and team installed a ~30x30' basketball pad and stained it a light brownish color. I love the look because it doesn't have that bright new concrete harshness and fits into the backyard. Bill had this great idea to install a water spray ground into the basketball pad as well. Another great idea - we can simply flip a switch now and jets of water shoot up out of the pad. The kids loved this in the late summer - and I don't have to worry about any pooling of water as we installed a french drain to collect the run-off. My only regret was that we used a separate installer for the basketball goal (a ProDunks goal we ordered online). In the end, Bill and team could have handled this. Bill also added an outdoor electrical plug near the pad so that we can plug in lights, radios, cell phone chargers, etc. And finally, Bill helped construct an outdoor drinking fountain so that kids don't have to keep running into the house to get a drink. His solution was surprisingly cheap and works great. Our 3/4 acre backyard also received full irrigation. Bill educated us on choosing a Smart controller that intelligently controls the amount of watering (and timing) needed for your yard. The goal being that you reduce water consumption but ensure your plants/lawn are irrigated optimally. We also had the City of Charlotte install a separate irrigation meter (this took 4 months so plan early) that we are now hooked up to. The good news is that with the Smart Controller and the irrigation meter, the City of Charlotte will cap your water rates at a Tier 3. I believe this will pay off after 1 year of use. We also had the backyard landscaped with probably 100 or so plantings. Multiple beds created with mulch (I am not a fan of pine straw). Trees, bushes, perennials - many of which were used to provide near instantaneous privacy from our neighbors. Everything looks great and Bill has been back many times to make sure things are growing well. I also like the look of large boulders - so Bill installed 4-5 massive boulders around the patio that are nice to lean against, jump off of, etc. We had some funds remaining to add some landscape lighting to the backyard. We chose to use advanced LED lighting that should last us 10-30 years. The trees in the backyard look amazing as night - as well as the pond that is lit up. We plan to do more lighting once we have more funds to spend. The lighting really makes things look nice in the evening. We made a last minute decision to add a fire pit (in ground) with loose river rock around it. It looks great and fits in nicely to our new backyard. In summary, this entire experience exceeded our expectations. It was a ton of money for us, but has been well worth it. I will continue to use Bill / Outdoor Life for future projects in the front yard. If you are looking at a smaller project... or even bigger project, you need to interview Bill and let him show you some of his projects. One last piece of advice, Bill is busy (which is a good thing) - we did have to wait a couple months to start our project, so start planning early
- THE STONE MAN, LLCExcellent experience. Everything was done neatly and in a timely manner. Good listeners, good suggestions. George, Matt and Jeremy are the best!!
- Pondscapes of Charlotte LLCChrissy walked me through an initial troubleshooting process. After that her team came out, partially disassembled the water feature, determined the cause of the problem, and fixed it. Very prompt and professional service. Couldn't have gone better.

"I prefer to not say. It is useable but definitely not what I had in mind and missed out on two holidays and a homecoming of our son and his family from Okinawa that was the whole reason we had the work done."
Outdoor Contracting was founded in 1998 by a civil engineer who was professionally trained to design and manage multiple trades of work on large-scale projects. Upon realizing that the residential market lacked contractors with sufficient licensing and capabilities to perform large, multiple-trade projects (such backyard living areas) and complex projects (such as drainage remediation). He took his training and capabilities, hand-selected and developed a team of highly skilled tradesman, and ..
"We had the pleasure of working with Outdoor Contracting over the past year on our landscape project. Our project was very complex and required someone who could help us consult, design and implement a custom project and Bill and his team were a perfect fit and up to the task. Adding to the complexity, Outdoor Contracting had to pick up the pieces from a failed attempt by our previous landscape designer making the project even more complex. If you have a complex project which no other contractor will touch, then Outdoor Contracting is right for you. The project consisted of designing an enclosure for our back yard which included custom concrete form walls, custom aluminum fencing, pedestrian gates, a cantilevered driveway gate, stepping stones, and beach pebbles. In addition, we had extensive lighting installation, irrigation, grading and sod installation, drainage remediation, electrical work, and installation of unique and unusual trees, shrubs, and plants. Bill and his team were very professional and spent countless hours over the past year ensuring that every detail was addressed since everything was tied together. They were methodical in their approach ensuring that each step in the process was thoroughly implemented before moving on to the next step. Bill even goes out of his was to install additional electrical, irrigation, and drainage conduits to ensure you are future proofed in case you want to expand the project in the future. I have never met a contractor that goes above and beyond in this manner. Outdoor Contracting shows up on time and as scheduled and they are very neat and clean in their approach, always taking time to make sure the job site is cleaned daily. We spent so much time with Bill and his team lead by Miguel that they became like family which made everything run smoothly. We were very happy with the overall quality of the work and the project ended up better than expected. We are thrilled with the final outcome!!! Outdoor Contracting’s motto is “"We do it ALL, & We do it RIGHT" and I cannot emphasize enough how true this is. You won’t need to hire additional contractors to complete your plumbing, electrical, and landscape needs since Bill really does it all. If they can complete our project they can do anything and do it top notch. We would highly recommend hiring Outdoor Contracting and you will be very happy you did.

"I would like to highly recommend Costner Landscaping Services! My husband and I have been homeowners for 33 yrs and lived in three different locations. As you can imagine, we have had alot of landscaping companies come and go. By far, Costner Landscapers have been the best that we have ever been associated with!! The crew went above and beyond what we expected! During our project , we had a small microburst tornado hit our street. When the crew showed up that morning to carry on their work, they were met with storm debris all over the backyard that they had previously made pristine just the day before. A large Cedar tree had fallen right into the middle of our new patio. Without any hesitation, they quickly got to work and had our backyard back to the pristine shape it was before!! Not only did they clean our yard, but our next door neighbors’, then picked up debris on the whole street!! Our neighbors were so impressed ,SO APPRECIATED, their kindness and generous hard additional work!! We also had low voltage lighting added to our backyard project in which, Peter gave me great alternative ideas that would meet our budget. The hardware is beautiful and of good quality which lends to such an appealing outdoor environment. There are not enough stars to rate this Company. I told my husband that we have found our new landscaping Co and will never have to go searching again!!

"It is hard for me to put into words the deep appreciation and admiration I have for everyone at The Stone Man for transforming my backyard into my own outdoor oasis. During the planning/ design phase, Chris Davis met with me multiple times, both at my house and on-site at The Stone Man to develop and refine initial sketches. Working with me to understand what my dream goal would be, and finding a way to get the design completed within budget was greatly appreciated. Chris remained professional and patient with me throughout the planning phase, and his work was greatly appreciated. Once the construction began, Jon Purdue and team worked diligently on-site around the clock to transform our design vision into reality; and did the final result exceed expectations! I have confidence the team can complete any project, large or small, after seeing the work completed. The team developed the following: - Retaining wall designed in variable height from approx. 4 feet to 6 feet (to meet an architecture design I requested) - Large covered area with a fireplace, wet bar, and bar seating for 4 - Outdoor kitchen equipped with a custom designed brick oven - Outdoor fire pit with a seating wall, and additional seating for 4 adirondack chairs - Large paver area, complete with matching stone trim, which ties into countertops, fireplace, fire pit, etc. The daily workers on-site (led by Leo) are truly artist at their profession. One advantage of working from home during the pandemic was to be able to see the team hand chipping stone and building truly one of a kind masterful pieces. Jon did an exceptional job managing the project, checking in with me via phone or on-site multiple times a week. When sub-contractors came on-site to complete the work, they presented the same professionalism as the team from The Stone Man. Through conversations with the various sub-contractors, it was evident The Stone Man team performs a lot of reoccurring work with these groups, and the quality of work and professionalism exemplified by the team at The Stone Man was cascaded throughout all groups involved. Post-production, both Jon and Chris continue to check-in to ensure the work quality remains. Whether it be phone calls, text, hand written notes, or stopping by for small adjustments, this team is committed to excellence from start to finish and beyond. Throughout the process, not only did I gain a backyard design beyond my wildest dreams but I truly did gain friends that I hope to have over for a drink/ food to admire their work and realize how happy I am with the finished product. If you are looking for a professional and personable team who delivers the highest of quality work, look no further than The Stone Man. I did lots of research on others as well as this team, and am happy with the decision to proceed with the team.
