  • Fountains and Aerators are integral aspects of the health and aesthetics of an aquatic ecosystem. Fountains and Aerators oxygenate the water and reduce the possibility of stagnation. If these systems are not performing as they should, a water feature can be quickly imbalanced, leading to reduced performance, costly repairs, and degraded aesthetics. We offer: 


    • Regular Cleaning

    • Mechanical/Electrical Troubleshooting and Inspection

    • Annual Winterization and Activation

    • Fountain and Aerator Installation

  • Create a visually stunning and ecologically diverse space. Transform your aquatic feature into a landmark in your landscape. We use beneficial native species that are best suited to thrive throughout the riparian zone. Landscaping provides yearlong interest and necessary shoreline protection from aggressive weeds, erosion, and pollutants.
