### All 11 reviews

**★★★★★ — Oasis Landscaping, Jan. 2017**

> We have used WBD for numerous projects over the last 6 years. They have great design ideas and their execution is second to none. There is no 'it's good enough' with these guys, only the best they can possibly make it. The project mentioned in this review was a front and a back water feature on the same project. The complete landscape was just under $800,000, and the dual water features were both the front and backyard focal points. Kevin & Grant's team absolutely kills it every time they have worked for us. 100% Recommendation for any indoor or outdoor water features.

**★★★★★ — trevor\_allan, Sept. 2016**

> We couldn't be happier with the water feature Kevin and his team created in our back yard. Kevin was great to deal with, and worked with us to create exactly what we wanted. The team was very professional and workmanship was excellent.  Would highly recommend to anyone!

**★★★★★ — J C, Sept. 2016**

> Kevin, Grant, and crew did an excellent job in installing a beautiful pond-less waterfall on our property.  This was after a substantial change in design that worked within the initial site layout that had specified a bubbler boulder.  Kevin was highly responsive to our ideas and offered many good ones of his own as we refined the plan.
>
> Their work on site was trouble-free, safe, and tidy.  The final product turned out better than we anticipated.  Water By Design was also great in replacing a couple of defective lights which were under warrantee and very patient in answering our maintenance questions.  Overall, a top quality job performed by skilled professionals.  Thanks again to Kevin, Grant, and crew!
>
> We highly recommend Water By Design.

**★★★★★ — Jim Bauert, Sept. 2016**

> Kevin and his team did an amazing job on our water feature.  He worked patiently with us, offering several different scenarios which helped us decide what we wanted as a final outcome.  We were able to visit other projects that they had done and speak with the owners.  Everyone we met spoke very highly of the workmanship, construction and the final product.
>
> Kevin and his crew are a tight knit group, and an amazingly hard working bunch considering how physically demand an install like this is, who collaborated well with each other during the construction, bouncing ideas and suggestions off each other and coming to a consensus on the best way to proceed during each stage.
>
> They kept us informed throughout the entire process, and showed up when they said they would, no easy feat when the weather was constantly posing challenges to any outdoor work.
>
> All in all, a great job, very happy with the end result.

**★★★★★ — Joel Bond, Sept. 2016**

> If you want a water feature and someone to look after you both to build it and help maintain it, Kevin from Water by Design is your man.  We had an idea of what wanted, Kevin delivered it, and we enjoy it every time we go outside.  A normal and respectful person that is easy to deal with and does what he promises.

**★★★★★ — HU-209158, Sept. 2016**

> Kevin rebuilt our water feature which we thought was completed originally by a professional only to find out that is constantly leaked and the components were meant for an indoor water feature.... He redesigned and built it again from the ground up and it was totally worth the money as we now have the feature we always wanted.
> Kevin was great to deal with, always on time and came in on budget.
>
> Highly recommend Water By Design!

**★★★★★ — c Luedtke, Sept. 2016**

> Water By Design built and maintains our backyard water feature. They demonstrate consistent professionalism - from the build to the ongoing maintenance. The water feature they built is pretty amazing. It's clear that building these structures is not just a job but also a passion. The time and determination to get everything 'just right' was evident during the build and shows in the finished product. I recommend them without any reservation.

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2016**

> I needed Water By Design to fix my burbling rock. They gave me an estimate but when they did the work it wasn't as complicated as first thought and cha4ged me for only what was required.
>
> The crew was all very professional and informative from start to finish. I was happy with their service and the work.

**★★★★★ — NuVista Homes, Aug. 2016**

> I came across Water by Design through business and decided to hire them to design my own front yard water bubbler feature and large backyard waterfall feature. They worked with us both on creative collaboration and budget. The water features were a huge success and have given us an oasis that was worth every penny.

**★★★★★ — sstefanyshyn, June 2016**

> I'm so glad that I had my water feature done with Water by Design, not only did the company meet all the expected requirements i.e reasonable cost, high standard of work, and the job was done on time and on budget, but Kevin also brought a unique quality to His company. His energy and His enthusiasm along with His creative ability really gave me the confidence to pursue this project. The greatest service that was provided by this company though, was the follow up visits both in the fall and than in the spring. Grant came out to go over various maintenance options to ensure that I knew how to keep my water feature looking great. -I chose to learn how to maintain the feature myself, -can you believe it!

**★★★★★ — rayban7, Feb. 2013**

> Reconstructed a poorly designed leaking waterfall for a client.
> Worked within difficult time frame and in a built up landscape making access difficult.
> The end result was excellent, but the true magic was with what couldn't be seen in the prep and products unseen.
