American Aquascapes & Watergardening, Inc.

I have a koi pond that I built some years ago. I contracted with American Aquascapes to clean the pond. I sent several pictures ahead of time. They quoted $975. When they finished the work the total bill was $3,437.74. They did a nice job and I am sure that it was more work than they were expecting to do because there were a lot of roots that needed to be pulled. However, it was simple manual work with only a small pressure washer used and they charged $125/hr for low-skilled labor. If I knew it was going to be anywhere near this amount, then I would have done the job myself. So, if money is no object, they will do good work. For us, money is an object and without any heads up I got a bill that was twice what it should have been and 3.5 times what the quote was for. I will never do business with this company again.

We were very impressed with the workmanship and care the pondcrew took when building our pond. Even the placement of plants was careful and expertly done. We continue to love and enjoy it. It's easy to care for and stays clear and the fish are very happy. We even have several volunteer frogs.

I am thrilled with the beauty and workmanship of the pond and waterfall feature that was done in my back yard! I also had stacked stone walls installed along the driveway and several other areas of the front and back yards. I was pleased--- far beyond my expectations! The crew was outstanding, extremely talented and very professional. I HIGHLY recommend American Aquascapes! The pond is a true joy to look at and listen to!

Mike and his crews have handled several waterfall projects for our Raleigh based pool company. The largest was a huge grotto and waterfall project on a custom pool we built in Cary. This job threw many challenges our way but these guys pulled through and provided a jaw dropping product for the client. We recommend them for any waterfall or pond work we encounter

Mike pays so much attention to detail, I feel like he really gets to know the client. His work speaks for itself, no ponds are alike, they take on their own feel. I would not have anyone else build a water feature for me.
