The Proof Of Happy Customers
As one of the leading water feature companies in the industry we can assure you that your project is in the right hands. Whether we’re cleaning your existing water feature or building a new pond or waterfall for you, we have your back.
Top notch every step of the way from follow up initial phone calls before work began to fast, professional, friendly service in the field.
I had a relatively small job that needed diagnosis and repair. The job was approached with the same care and consideration as if I was spending ten times the amount.
Contractors from different disciplines could learn a lot from how NE Aquatic Landscaping approaches customer service.
Steve Baracsi
I bought this house with a Koi pond. Did no know anything about it or how to care for the fish properly.
I called them to come out and clean it for me and they not only cleaned it, they answered my questions and provided information for me as far as the future repairs that could come up in the future.
The pond was just done again 4/2019 and it looks great. They made an onsite repair to the check valve and the falls are ready to flow…….
Very happy with the staff, very friendly, efficient and if you ask a question that they do not know the answer to, they will find the answer and get back to you before they leave. Would definitely recommend.

Shawn and I just completed a revamp of a pondless waterfall at a public library.
Shawn graciously donated his time to improve this public retreat. His great work ethic and artistic eye, along with his passion for the water garden industry make it an easy recommendation for me to make.
I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Shawn for your waterfeature or hardscape project, in fact, I may just bring him in to help with my next big job.
