We sent out a reminder of service but did not get a response back. I'm not sure why Mr. [Member Name Removed] stopped using us. Our Cost and subsequently our prices have continued to rise and I can only assume we have been replaced with a less expensive vendor.

Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and Mr. [Member Name Removed] father were also great to work with. They let us know what they wanted we listened, gave them a quoted price and then exceeded their expectations. It's really that simple. Thank you for entrusting us to improve your outdoor living space and I really enjoyed hearing the stories of a true american hero, a WWII Veteran.

Description of Work: I had a non-working water feature and a dirty pond with a broken pond. Over a long detailed telephone conversation with Dave, a plan was worked out. During the process Ken and Carlos took great care of my water feature and my fish. They consulted me about placement of the pump so that I could easily reach it for clean out. I was very impressed with the professional service of Pondscapes.

Dave, the owner, was on time and prepared for every meeting. After describing the process in detail and providing us with a complete estimate, we signed a contract and work began. Dave, himself, was onsite everyday and performed much of the work. The pond was completed on schedule and is beautiful.
Description of Work: Designed and installed an 11x16 water feature with waterfalls, ponds, and bog garden. Dave and his crew designed the entire feature, added appropriate drainage for the yard, and added plantings to beautify the water feature.

What I loved about working for this member was their preparation prior to hiring Pondscapes of Charlotte. They took the time to do their homework prior to selecting us. This insured that they would receive a true VALUE for their investment. And that their water feature was done right, the first time. As always we look forward to a long relationship with this member.

We are just finishing an addition to our house in order to move my elderly father home. As he is in a wheelchair most of the time, we thought a koi pond with a waterfall would be a great source of entertainment for him without having to go anywhere. Dave and his whole Pondscapes crew were fabulous. He designed a wonderful raised pond with a stone wall so my Dad can wheel up to it and put his hand in the water to interact with the fish. He has gone above and beyond to help make everything perfect for my Dad, including the placement of a Blessed Mother statue that had belonged to my late mother and holds special meaning for my Dad. The pond is absolutely gorgeous. Dave went over every detail of its maintenance and the care of the fish. He makes it known that he is there to help and I definitely feel like I could call and ask any question and he'd continue to help me with the pond. This was a great experience from start to finish ... and beyond!
Description of Work: A custom koi pond with 2 waterfalls and stone wall was built specifically for my disabled father.

Four years ago we hired a self-described "professional pond installer" who we met at the spring home and garden show and for the four years since we struggled to maintain a muddy, poorly constructed, and incorrectly installed pond. Pondscapes came to our rescue and corrected those mistakes. Our pond is now a beautiful combination of waterfall, stream, and pond that work beautifully and stay crystal clear. We are ecstatic over the results. Dave, Ken, and Angel are the knowlegable, no-nonsense, hardworking professionals we have been looking for and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a custom water feature.
Description of Work: Completely deconstructed our 4-year old, poorly installed pond, moved the skimmer to the appropriate location, installed new liner and underlayment, new LED lighting and transformer, 4 tons of Virginia fieldstone boulders, catch basin and french drains plus swales to prevent water runoff, and a custom wetlands filtration system.

It is unfortunate that no one really benefits in this situation. The member is has paid twice for what they originally wanted and Pondscapes of Charlotte has had to charge someone for something they thought they had already paid for. We thank the member for their trust in our company, that this was the only real solution to correcting the problem. We look forward to a lasting relationship with this member and hope we can continue to make their backyard oasis and enjoyable experience.

We recently moved into a new house with a very small yard. During the final stages of construction we got some estimates to install a water feature next to our screened porch. This is a small area that is very close to our neighbor's house and we were hopeful that a pond would fit. Dave came out to give us an estimate and he was professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. It was clear that he not only builds but also enjoys water features. Shortly after moving into our new home, work on our pond commenced. The crew consisted of Dave and 2 other employees. Work began on time and it took approximately 1 week to complete. The crew was polite and careful, being sure to keep the area as neat as possible when they left at the end of each day. At all steps of the process, Dave and his crew made sure that we were satisfied with the progress and results. While digging out the pond area, they found a drainage pipe in the way and moved it with no problems. Placement of the boulders and rock was done very carefully to enhance the sight and sound of the water. The results are phenomenal. We have a beautiful water feature that sounds like a mountain stream.
Description of Work: We had a water feature with a small pond and a small stone patio installed.

Mr. Blocksom and his crew are very knowledgeable and most professional in their quality of work. They competely transformed our existing small pond into an exciting waterscape bringing a whole new level of enjoyment to us and our fish. They resolved multiple issues we were having, giving us peace of mind. This included incorportating the use of a rain barrel for water replenishment. This company exhibits an exceptional level of customer service with their attention to detail and follow up after the job was completed.

In addition to the outstanding feature, Pondscapes of Charlotte executed the project in a highly professional manner. They were very organized, punctual, and efficient. Also the follow up has been exceptional. Plus it was a pleasure interacting with the Pondscape team. I highly recommended Pondscapes of Charlotte.
Description of Work: I contacted Pondscapes of Charlotte to help me clear up issues with a pond installed by a landscape company last year. After spending time with Dave I decided to pull up the old pond and have Pondscapes do it right. I wish I had found Pondscapes of Charlotte last year when I fist had my backyard done. Pondscapes of Charlotte exceeded my expectations. The pond and waterfalls are beautiful and the surrounding berm that was created has transformed my backyard into a small paradise. Dave spent a great deal of time with me studying the backyard before stating the project and as a result his creation looks as if my home was built around a very beautiful natural water feature.

Couldn't have gone better. They came on the scheduled day, tore out the old pond, reused all the materials that I had plus more. Had the new pond completed and landscaped in less than a week and did a beautiful job. Dave has since come by to explain everything. His crew was great and everyone from top to bottom was very professional.

Pondscapes installed a large natural pond system in our front yard. While they promised a lot, they delivered much more! The finished product is absolutely stunning! The whole family enjoys watching the wildlife and listening to the waterfalls. We've already had countless people stop to comment on how gorgeous the pond is. Dave and his crew were all very professional and knowledgeable. They were always prompt and polite. They answered all of our questions thoroughly as well as the questions of neighbors that stopped to inquire about the project. They cleaned the area every evening including parking their large backhoe indiscreetly so as not to bother us or the neighbors. Then, even after finishing the job, they came back to add some additional artistic touches such as moss and logs to enhance the natural feel. I have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so. They are the best pond builders in the area!

DAVE WAS THE MOST CREATIVE AND EFFICIENT CONTRACTOR. HE CAME TO THE HOUSE AND TOOK PHOTOS OF MY WATER FEATURE. HE THEN REDID THE FEATURE AND SHOWED ME WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WHEN DONE. HE VERY CLEARLY EXPLAINED THE WATER FEATURES AVAILABLE TO ME FOR MY BACK YARD CONDITIONS AND NEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A DECISION AND HE QUICKLY STARTED ON THE WORK. THE END RESULT IS A WONDERFUL WATER FEATURE THAT IS VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE. IT LIGHTS UP AT NIGHT AND THE WATER SOUND IS WONDERFUL FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOME. I WOULD NEVER USE ANYONE ELSE BUT DAVE. HE AND HIS WORKERS WERE VERY NEAT AND CLEANED UP THE ENTIRE SITE EACH DAY BEFORE THEY LEFT.
Description of Work: DAVE REDESIGNED AN OLD WATER FEATURE IN MY BACK YARD. I WANTED THE FEATURE TO BE LARGER, MAINTENANCE FREE, MORE WATER FLOW, DECORATIVE, LOOKS LIKE IT FLOWS INTO THE CREEK IN THE BACK YARD, AND I WANTED TO ADD MORE DECORATIVE LANDSCAPING, ROCKS AND SLATE. DAVE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR AND QUOTED THE JOB EXPERTLY AND FAIRLY.
