I specialize in customer service. I aim to please my clients,and do whats in my power to make sure the customer is happy. I keep my self available at all times to troulbleshoot problems and swiftly respond when needed.
Description of Work: Albert and crew diagnosed water feature problem in addition to sprinkler system problem. Very professional and punctual. Albert did not build the water feature but knew how to troubleshoot someone else's work. He made suggestions to fix the problem without tearing out entire waterfall. In the meantime one of the crew rearranged rocks in the pond to cover visible liner. Would use these guys again and recommend them highly.

Description of Work: Albert and his crew came exactly on the day agreed upon earlier this year. They emptied and power-cleaned the pond (goldfish safely put in holding tank), installed a new valve to regulate flow to waterfall, reconfigured and installed rocks for the waterfall and put a new filter mat into the skimmer. We were also left with a print-out detailing precisely what we could do to keep the pond in good shape until next year, and were able to purchase beneficial bacteria directly from Albert to keep the pond's eco-system in balance. We cannot commend Albert enough for his professionalism, friendliness and patience with our special requests and questions! His company fills a definite need for pond owners here in town and we could not have been happier with him and his crew and their service! Definitely highly recommend!

Description of Work: This last service consisted of routine maintenance and cleaning of the pond. As always, AAA Pond Care delivered a high quality level of service. | |Overall, we have been customers for just over 4 years and we could not imagine working with any other provider. Albert and his crew are always professional, punctual, responsive and deliver only the highest level of service while maintaining reasonable and competitive prices. Should we encounter an unexpected problem with our pond such as a pump failure, its always reassuring to know that AAA Pond Care is just a phone call away.

All I can say is WOW! I have to be honest, I feel like since moving to Colorado Springs ten years ago I have mostly dealt with businesses that acted like they were doing you a favor. Not with Albert and the guys!! They were terrific! The first check was just to see what was wrong, found out I needed a new pump. Came back on the day we had agreed to and had called earlier that day to let me know ETA. Pump was installed, water featrue was cleaned up and ready to go! Had a small mishap with a valve being stuck and they were back out the next day to fix it! Just wish I could hire these guys for everything!!

Ok guys I do not know where to begin with Albert and his AAA crew. I think it's often difficult to find exceptional service, but I can not type fast enough to brag on this company. Let me start by saying we just moved to the monument area and on a whim with a new pond and water feature in the backyard I searched Angie's list and ran across AAA pond care. Albert and his crew being in such high demand were booked out for almost a month or so for a clean yet still squeezed me in to come meet me and take a look at our set up. At that initial free consult Albert and his crew noticed that the auto flow on our pond was not operating properly and immediately began to troubleshoot and make some basic repairs. With in minutes they had a pump out and a crew surveying, working, and repairing it. If Albert and his AAA crew had not been there to give their professional eye to our situation our brand new home could have been at serious risk do this auto flow not working properly (basically pond continuously filling and overflowing to beneath the deck) It doesn't stop there. Originally Albert had scheduled a pond clean for us about month out because of their high demand, then this morning (only 3 days after I met him) he called and said he had a cancellation and new we had a few house warming parties coming up). He asked if he would like for him to do the pond clean early since he had a cancellation and I said...Heck ya! Also after meeting Albert and his crew within only a few days, when I would call he would respond immediately already knowing my name and recognizing my phone number. Exceptional! After talking with Albert I later discovered that received his training from some of the premiere pond companies in the nation. Although he never came out and said it, I believe I was fortunate to hire "the best". Conclusion: I can not give a company a higher review. Personable, professional, skillful, prompt, knowledgable, and goes over the top to ensure customer satisfaction. You will not be disappointed in hiring AAA Pond Care.
Description of Work: Provided service to our water feature and pond.

Albert and his crew did a complete and thorough job removing all the ingrown plants in a pair of medium size ponds. These plants had thoroughly infiltrated the rock base requiring them to move almost all the rocks (large) in the base of the pond. Additionally, they cleaned and power washed all the rocks and gravel completely. They replaced a pump which had failed, changing all the fittings to accomodate the new pump and repaired the lighting system which had been damaged over the winter. I have found them to be reliable, trustworthy and extremely hard working over the years and this time was no exception. They are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Performed a pond cleaning on two ponds including removal of all ingrown vegetation, replaced pump and repaired all pond lighting.

Albert and his crew arrived on time and with all tools and equipment necessary to complete their job. Albert explained what they would be doing and in what order. He asked permission to park a truck in the driveway. He did not drop the ton of dirt onto the driveway but replenished the wheelbarrow right from the pick up truck which minimized spreading dirt all over the driveway. The crew was efficient and thorough. They were also careful not to damage the liner of the water feature. While the pond and water feature were refilling, they worked on the landscape lighting, replacing burned out bulbs and two non-functioning lights. Albert explained options for replacing the lights and did not push for expensive replacements or for more lights than were needed. The crew checked carefully and made modifications to make sure that the water feature bed no longer leaked. When they and the homeowners were satisfied, they treated the pond with chemicals and worked to remove debris, leaves, and "gunk" from the pond, pump, and in-take area. Albert took time to explain how the homeowners should use the chemicals in the future. There was no push to buy anything or to do more than what was expected that day. The crew was thorough in their clean-up including sweeping all dirt from the driveway. Because the work went smoothly, the final cost was at the low end of his original estimate. We will definitely be using AAA Pond Care for the winterizing and spring start up of our water feature.
Description of Work: Albert of AAA Pond Care came out to give us an estimate on restructuring the bed of our water feature, which had been leaking, and checked out the lighting around the feature at no charge. He was available to perform the work the following week. He and his crew restructured the entire bed which runs over 100 feet, replaced two landscape lights, and checked and replaced all other bulbs as needed. Additionally, he treated the pond water with chemicals to remove algae build up.

Exceptional!
Description of Work: Albert, who is the owner of AAA Pond Care, arrived at my home a few minutes before our appointment time. i had contacted him for some water quality issues that i was having with my waterfall and pond. Algae was everywhere! Albert serviced my pond and also brought additives that he recommended I use to keep the water quality high. While he was at my home, we also discussed some difficulties I was having with my pond lighting. Albert had great ideas in terms of how to maximize my lighting features in my waterfall and pond; I actually had him implement his ideas while he was here and then ordered additional lights which he installed the next day. A Service Call is 65 dollars, which is half of what I was paying my previous pond person. Albert is extremely efficient, honest, and has a high level of expertise with pond maintenance and outdoor lighting. The amount I spent reflects two hours of work plus the additives I purchased. I will definitely continue using AAA Pond Care! Oh...the next day my pond water looked amazing!

Living in Colorado, a semi-arid state, there is not a large demand for ponds and pools, and we definitely are in short supply of qualified, skilled pond specialists who demonstrate integrity and professionalism.My experience in the past with pond specialists was poor at best. But because I love being around water and especially hearing a waterfall, I persevered. I needed help in locating a reputable pond person and that's when I decided to join Angie's List. I am sograteful for this company! Having joined, I read the reviews on pond/pool specialists. This is how I came upon AAA Pond Care, and Albert Aldaz, the owner.Albert's expertise are with ponds and landscaping. His 15 years of experience and high standard of work ethics is the reason I would rate his work as Excellent and highly recommend him. In fact, I'm having him come back to do some landscaping.Very happy in knowing there are some good guys in the pond and landscaping business.Thank you Angie.
Description of Work: May 23, 2012, Albert Aldaz, evaluated the problems I was having with my pond and we set up an appointment for June 14, 2012 to remedy the faulty and incompetent work done last year when the pond was installed.June 14, 2012, Albert and two co-workers appeared at 9:00 A.M. and immediately went to work.They removed all the rocks around the waterfall; took out the liner (that was in backwards) around the waterfall; disassembled the waterflow pipe into the waterfall container; elevated the waterfall container; dug a deep hole in front of the waterfall container, so that the water would flow into a small pool beneath the waterfall and continue flowing downward around the boulders and into the pond. They caulked the liner around the waterfall. They correctly lay the liner down and returned all the rocks over the liner.Albert changed out the too large, 15 amp motor in the skimmer for a smaller, more efficient, 6 amp motor that I had. Albert also put ina new skimmer basket and fixed the liner around the skimmer.A bag of lava rocks was placed in the waterfall container to maintain minimal bacteria in the pond.When they were finished, the area was neat and no flowers/shrubs were damaged around the pond. The waterfall and skimmer were running smoothly; and I wasn't losing 5-10" of water daily that was seeping out all around the waterfall area. Also, my electrical bill will be cut in half with the 6 amp motor.

Consistently great performance and attitude.
Description of Work: Albert regularly maintains my waterfall/pong and also is very good with low voltage and LED lighting for landscaping. Very competent, ethical and responsible. Lastly, he's been servicing my pond and other landscaping projects for almost 3 years and is the only competent pond specialist (with licensing credentials) in Southern Colorado (COS Area). I'd recommend him to anyone looking for these services.
