"We chose Summersweet because of the innovative design by the owner (Eric Jaramillo) and pricing comparable to other bids. Eric made a few minor modifications based on our input but the plan was pretty much as he originally envisioned. He is experienced and knows what he is doing him. Trust him! We did and everything came out beautifully. His workers were polite, efficient, showed up when agreed and did a great job. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend Summersweet. Dan & Regina Puccetti"
"It was a great experience. They gave me a fair, competitive, price and delivered more than I thought I was getting. Great communication with scheduling and problem resolution. They will be my go to company for any further landscaping."
"Excellent end result with very professional and hard working team from Tierra Encantada landscaping. Work was performed and all areas used were cleaned up on completion."
"The job went extremely well. Guillermo and his crew are professional and dependable and there was no additional clean up when they left. Guillermo is meticulus and the finished product is beautiful. We are very happy with the work done and would hire Wildfire again. We highly recommend this company! "
"The foreman kept close watch on all work as it was done. My only complaint was spotty communication, for example, not letting me know that the workers wouldn't be at my house on a certain day, or that they didn't work on Fridays. The job also took quite a bit longer than I was initially told. All in all, however, I am very pleased with the results. My yard is beautiful, appropriate for a desert environment and uses much less water than it did previously. Once the plants and trees get established and fill out, the yard will look even more amazing and will burst with a variety of colors throughout the year. I am planning to have additional stone work done on my rock wall and fire pit later this year, and on the patio next year.I am very happy with the final product. I was impatient to get the work finished, and it sometimes seemed that progress was slow, but the yard looks awesome. It also seems much more inviting and usable than it did before this work was done."
"They were wonderful! We had them hang pictures and heavy mirrors which they did very carefully, being sure they were placed properly in studs in the wall. I couldn't have asked for a more professional team to do the work. They also fixed a hinge in my pantry door so it is now working perfectly and not catching anymore on the door. This company will now be my go to guys for home repair. "
The average pond maintenance cost is $2,000. But how much you pay to take care of your pond depends on multiple factors, such as the size of the pond and whether fish live in it. Your area's climate also affects the overall maintenance cost, as you may need to winterize your pond to protect it and any aquatic life in it during the colder months.
Pond installation costs typically range from $1,500 to $10,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the pond's size, the materials used, excavation requirements, and any additional features such as waterfalls, lighting, or specialized habitats for fish like koi.
One of the most important parts of building a pond is digging the right depth. Your pond needs to be at least one to two feet deep.
