Reviews in San Jose to Install Ponds
Paradise Water Gardens & Landscape
Overall, the work went very well and smoothly. No surprises. Work was completed in two days and we are very happy with the result. The pond, waterfall and stream is very impressive and natural looking. I am really happy with the followup service making sure that everything is working properly. Everyone at Paradise Water Gardens has been a pleasure to work with

Johnson Pool And Spa
After 10 years of a tenant not taking care of the pool on a rental property the pool looked like a brown, algae ridden fish pond (including fish that the tenant put into the pool to eat the mosquitos that were breeding). in order to ready the property for sale after the tenants moved out, the pool needed to be brought back to life. Not knowing the first thing about pools, I took photos and stopped by Johnson Pool. Aaron was extremely helpful and walked me through the details of different options available to me (have them do take on the project or do the work myself). Ultimately I chose to do the work myself since I was on-site every day. I purchased the chemicals and parts that were required from Johnson Pool. Aaron and the team at Johnson consulted with me weekly and answered all of my detailed questions along the way at no charge. When I first looked at the project I was convinced that I would have to drain the pool, clean it by hand and then refill it. With Aaron's guidance that was completely unnecessary and it saved a ton of time, work, and money. Over the course of about 10 days the pool went from unimaginably disgusting to sparkling crystal clear. This wold not have been possible without the honest and straightforward advice from the team at Johnson Pool. For the following six months until the property sold, I stopped in every three to four weeks to purchase new chemicals. Aaron and the team were always happy to answer any questions that I had and continued to give me advice on how to keep the pool performing at its best. Their honest and fair dealings with me created a loyal customer and I will definitely use Johnson Pool and Spa for all my pool needs in the future

Paradise Water Gardens & Landscape
On April 29, 2015, our handyman contacted Paradise Water Gardens to bid on a fountain repair project. We needed to replace the lights and pump, redo the waterproofing sealant, and repaint the fountain. They quoted us $3,167 to complete the project. It took until June 9, 2015 for them to actually start the project and it was not finished until July 8, 2015. Upon project completion, we immediately sent a check for the full amount of $3,167. At first, the project looked great, but within a week we started to notice that the sealant was peeling off and the pump was no longer functioning properly. He installed the wrong pump so there is not enough power to successfully operate the water feature. He cut off the electrical conditioning that would allow us to turn the fountain on and off. He failed to properly waterproof the fountain (and it now leaks). The paint he used on the fountain was NOT waterproof and has already begun to peel off - those pieces of paint cause the pump to clog. The project took over two months longer than promised. He was repeatedly late to scheduled appointments, often times not showing up at all and not calling. We would have to call him multiple times to remind him that he was scheduled to come to the home and there were times he still did not show up. We do not trust their workmanship or competence to come back on our property and do any more work on our fountain. We have had to hire another company to fix the issues with the fountain and will now have to pay over $4,100 to fix the problems they created. I have contacted Mauricio to give him the chance to make it right and refund the money paid to his company for this terrible service, and he refused. I have reported him to the Better Business Bureau AND the Contractor State License Board. I hope these actions will prevent this from happening to someone else! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

RIPPLE EFFECT WATER GARDENS
Quote was way overpriced. It was easy to compare prices for materials (stones, liner, etc.) and they were many times what it would cost just to order them myself. They seemed more interested in a maintenance contract than in actually putting a new pond.

Nick's Handyman Service
Terrible experience. First of all, Nick Pleadwell abandonned the job, made me pay for the materials ($400), broke the koi pond even further than how it was before he started the job. Very unprofessional and unethical contract. I used him before for very small jobs and it was ok (switch replacement, basic plumbing, etc.). However, for something a bit more lengthy it was a total nightmare and now I am initiating a legal procedure. Mr. Pleadwell accepted a contracting job to change a koi pond liner to fix a leak from the previous liner and clean the debris at the end.3 issues occurred from Mr. Pleadwell's job resulting in additional cost for me:1 - He created new holes in the brand new liner (which I paid for), which potentially can create new leaks overtime. This is due to a mistake to place nails in the liner BEFORE filling up the pond (4000 gallons capacity). As the water filled up it created an enormous pressure on the nails that go through the liner and 3 holes were created. He then patched them but this is a leak risk moving forward.2 - He didn't seal well the pipes inside the liner which leaks today. The pond cannot be filled to be in a operating mode.3 - He left the debris cleaned from the pond in the backyard. This is a nuisance and a health risk hazard for my current tenant. He also left the surplus liner materials in the backyard and was supposed to clean them.Mr. Pleadwell left the job even though it is unfinished. All 20 Koi finishes died in the process. At the present time, the koi pond is leaking below the pipes that would help recirculate the water to keep it clean. The stagnant water is a health hazard for my current tenant if it is left "as-in": West Nile Virus site, etc. I found our also that Nick does not have a valid contractor license in California and is therefore doing this work illegally

Jose and his father did thorough jobs, They are hard workers and jobs are meticulous. They ended up fixing a leak from the fountain, plant ground covers, adjusted sprinklers and fishing the lights. Great jobs. I would recommend Jose to anyone.

ADVANCED LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS / WESTERN ROCK & WATER
Mel removed our giant koi, drained the pond, cleaned all of the sludge (and there was a lot of it), repositioned the liner and the surrounding rocks (and mortared them where they needed to be secure), raised the waterfall in order to get more rushing water sound, and changed the pump to one that he thought was a better size for the system. After he finished, he came back the following day and decided that we should have an even larger pump and changed it with no additional cost. Our pond is beautiful with a great sound and the koi are MUCH happier. He actually inspired us to re-landscape the adjacent area. Our back yard has never looked better. Mel is a gem. We have now hired him to provide quarterly maintenance so that we can maintain our pond and keep the koi happy and healthy

French's Waterscapes
For 15 years, I've been involved with so many remodeling and construction jobs that I have lost count but I've never asked for a company sign. I ask the guys at French's Waterscapes to give me a sign to post on my back fence near a walking trail. I am also a curious neighbor peeking through my neighbor's fences on the trail and I've seen a lot of backyard waterfalls. I already had a waterfall before I found French's Waterscapes, but I always felt that it was missing a certain something. French's Waterscapes definitely brought the "something" to this project. Here's what I started with: Three years ago I had a waterfall built that started at the top of a steep slope, and meandered down the slope about 35 feet, then dropping into an unattractive perfectly round hole about 6 feet in diameter. Water level was 8-10 inches below ground level and was a sludgy green algae mess. A couple years ago I added 6 mosquito fish to take care of the mosquito-breeding problems that came up from the standing water. Two years later I had about ~100 mosquito fish (warning). I started thinking about how I was going to fix the algae mess, and I already knew that the more water the easier it is to manage water quality. My husband wanted to take it all out and put in a pool instead. We've got 2 little ones, 6 and 4 years old that are not swimmers yet. Between the safety concern with having a pool and the idea of a big hole in the ground with salt or bleach water for swimming the idea just didn't appeal to me. I wanted to continue my landscaping theme of natural and wildlife friendly. So I started looking for someone to either help fix the algae problem or demo the whole thing. That's when I found French's Waterscapes. My main concern from the start was always safety and I also care a lot about aesthetics. There's no way I was going to put in a new water feature that required me to change my parenting style. I like for my kids to have free reign in the backyard and be creative on their own. There's something special that happens when kids are allowed to explore their world without direction from the grown-ups, and we're a homeschooling family so my kids spend a ton of time in the backyard creating, learning, and exploring. French's Waterscapes brought an amazing plan to the table. Ultimately they put in a pond approximately 17 x 20 feet with an amazing filtration system. The deepest part is ~36 inches, but covered with grates to create a standing height of ~18". No part of the pond is more than 18" standing height. AND, they had a brilliant idea to create a special beach area off to one side where my girls can hang out in ankle deep water and play. On the opposite end of the pond, is a grown-up area to sit and hang our feet in the water. Love! Every step of the way, the entire crew from French's Waterscape amazed me with their precision and attention to detail. With all the dirt that needed to be removed (~18 yards), shovels just weren't a practical way to get that job done so they brought in a bobcat. My house is cozy with the neighbor, with an opening clearance at the gate of 42 3/4 inches. The bobcat is 42 inches. We did have the option of removing the fence post and gaining another 3 1/2 inches, but I only wanted to do that as a last resort. When the guys went through the gate with the bobcat, they didn't so much as brush against the post. I don't think I could have fit my pinky between the tractor and the gatepost. I barely saw a sliver of sunlight. They drove that tractor all the way to the back yard with not even a scratch on the stucco. ~18 yards of soil was taken out and ~14,000 pounds of big rocks and countless pounds of pebbles were put in. Everyone at French's Waterscapes is very professional, and my project was managed efficiently. My girls literally couldn't wait to get in the pond and start the serious business of playing. While the guys worked my girls got a head start on enjoying the kid area. I think my kid's bike and scooter riding days are over! Words cannot describe how happy I am with everything. This was a well-run project with amazing results. As for my husband, who originally wanted a pool, and was very resistant to the idea of a pond, much less this size, he's already planning an add-on pond with a stream connecting to the one French's Waterscapes just created, and he has made a list of which fish we're adding first. Cash is artistic and creative on a scale I rarely see. Cash's foreman Mike was on this project as well. He knew exactly what was going on every step of the way. The entire crew worked tirelessly the entire time they were here. If you are considering adding a water feature to your garden, call French's Waterscapes

Jose is very knowledgeable about a variety of tasks and works diligently, responsibly and in a timely manner. I appreciate his responsiveness and the way he works. He uses quality products even if it costs him more and does the job completely and correctly. Compared to many other contractors I've used in the past, he is one of the rare people who knows what he's doing, is always pleasant, works hard and wants the job to be done right. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a solid contractor

Friendly salesman, Bill, who gave us his personal cell Phone for great communication. Good price & quality work. Original fiberglass construction was in poor shape, & roots were coming thru the plaster. It was a difficult project & had to correct a few installation problems but they always came back promptly to make things right and ensure our satisfaction. Highly recommended!!! Rick Bel

Juan Garcia was the project manager for the project and did a great job. Very personable, and professional. The pavers at our pond were breaking away and falling toward the pond. It appeared to be only time before the gap would get bigger & bigger. Juan's team demoed out the old pavers, put in a deeper foundation and replaced the new pavers tight to the rest on the patio. Very please with there work. Recommend them highly

It went very well. My yard looks like a park. Scott the owner designed a pond and waterfall that is exactly what I was looking for. His employees, Manual and Javier installed everything and took great care to make sure it was perfect. I recently lost my husband and they used a stepping stone we purchased in Carmel as a focal point in the waterfall. Makes it very special. I would use them again and recommend them highly

Pablo and co. are the best! When we moved we inherited a pool + service. However the service person wasn't so forthcoming when we asked questions. Enter Pablo. He came to our place, inspected our pool and told us everything about it. He answered every bit of questions we had and, get this, he wasn't a pushy salesperson! He even told us the prices of the chemicals he used to keep our pool sparking clean! (And that's why he charged what he charged us). Since then Pablo has expanded his business into designing/building pools. In fact we were so comfortable with him that we always thought of him if there's any backyard structure we wanted to add (such as the upcoming poolside shower). Give him a try, you wouldn't find anyone as honest and hardworking as he is. Worth. Every. Penny

Steve and his pool team are on point. Steve has his pool installation process down and things flowed smoothly. He was quick to respond if questions arose and he followed up throughout the process to make sure things were going well. Side-note: I recommend choosing your tile and coping early in the process so it can be ordered and ready to go. Our coping wasn’t in stock (no fault of Steve’s) but waiting for it to come in put a hold on our project for a bit. We are very happy with the end result and our family is enjoying the new pool! Thanks Steve for a job well done

We considered hardscaping our aging back yard and pool area for some time. System Pavers was one of the top of our list from my search. After we met a System Pavers rep at a commercial fair and discussed some of the aspects of what we wanted, I contacted them for an interview and evaluation. Patrick (Designer) came to our house fully prepared, discussed our desires, measured, took pictures, and came up with a preliminary plan. He went back to his office and prepared a very nice graphic design of suggestions and pricing. We reviewed the design and prices and returned to him with our budget. After discussions, he made further design changes to our liking and suggested we visit their warehouse to pick out pavers. We were dumfounded at the huge warehouse of many outdoor designs - fully built out! After sending us to another warehouse where we picked out our pool coping pavers, we were set. Upon signing contracts, our system project manager, Derek, met with us at our house to view what was needed. A contractor team led by Alex began work on a mutual date. What these guys did was nothing short of amazing. From the demo to the final stages of setting pavers, their meticulous work shined through. Derek kept in contact throughout the work visiting us several times to review things with me and Alex. As expected we had to make some adjustments during the project discovering piping and existing decking. Alex's team of hard workers were courteous and friendly working tirelessly each day with the utmost attention to details and total respect for our property. From beginning to end, our System Pavers team was accommodating - working with us to every detail (including budget) to an absolutely gorgeous end-product. The pictures I've uploaded will show the evidence. If you're in the market for some hardscaping, be it large or small, do yourself a favor and contact System Pavers. Their team of experts will walk you through to an outstanding end! Thanks, Patrick, Derek, Alex and all the hard-working team! We are more than pleased

What do customers in San Jose say about Pond Installation?
Mike was recommended by our pond installer, and he said he does 300 pond clean-outs a year. He seemed knowledgeable and experienced. Unfortunately, one of our koi died on the same day as the pond was cleaned (after Mike left). We discussed it with Mike who felt no responsibility. Other than the fish, we were satisfied with his work.
