Highly recommend CE Pontz for any landscape project. Professional people who car about their customers. **★★ — Carol Fick, May 2017** > We had a massive, terracing and landscaping job done on our new property and thought we could rely on the fine reputation of CE Pontz. Much of the structural work and the plantings were done very well, but we had trouble with some conflicting communications regarding what was promised and what actually was delivered. There was no follow-up to see what could be done to fix and remaining glitches and no responsibility was taken for a poor grass reseeding and erosion-control result. **★★★★★ — Matt Gibbel, Jan. 2017** > I wanted the project done right the first time so I called CE Pontz. They worked with me to help me understand what was best for the space we had and completed the project on time and on budget. If you want it done right, call these guys, they know what they're doing! **★★★★★ — linsieiz, June 2013** > We had our pond thoroughly cleaned by C E Pontz, It was a tough decision to have it done since our mulching was recently finished and we were concerned about our fish, tadpoles and frogs and how this would effect them. We were not able to be home when this job was done, but when we got home the only thing that was different was the pond needed filling and it was clean. The inhabitants were unharmed and so was our mulch. The pond is beautiful now and we can see to the bottom! They did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — lokenteam, May 2013** > I built my own fish pond and outfitted it with fish, equipment and supplies from C E Pontz, they gave me EXCELLENT counsel and direction which was a huge help. Their pricing was very competitive and the selection was great. Our community also hired them to take care of a huge 1/2 acre pond and their expertise made the pond beautiful again. **★★★★★ — ddwechter, April 2013** > We have had C.E. Pontz Sons design and build a patio with a summer kitchen, a second patio with a fireplace and sitting area, and a beautiful water feature that appears to be a totally natural stream flowing out of our hillside. They also designed and installed up lighting for several of our trees and house. Our several year association with them has proved to a very positive experience. We are proud to recommend C. E. Pontz Sons to our friends and others interested in a very professional and talented company. ## Selected projects - [Poolside Patio & Living Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/poolside-patio-and-living-area-pj-vj~6036607) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This Poolside Patio Kitchen & Living Area project consisted of a large multiple tier Techo-Bloc Patio surrounding the inground swimming pool complete with pergola, outdoor kitchen, and landscape lighting.
