Living Waters Landscaping

My husband and I needed to find someone who could clean our pond and remove a lot of mud and algae. We contacted three landscapers who work on water features. Two weren't interested, but Jacob Wickersham was. He wrote an enthusiastic email, came to see the pond, and gave us a very reasonable estimate. Within a week, he had the job done to our satisfaction. As Jacob and a crew member worked on the pond, he talked to us about how he was trying to not disturb the tadpoles and fish. We have a natural pond with a delicate ecosystem that includes various fish, frogs, clams, a few snakes, and a snapping turtle. We wanted to clean out the overgrown algae but preserve the pond life. Jacob was respectful of that and very knowledgeable about aquatic creatures and plants. When the weather is warmer he will help us choose lily pads and install them for us. He made suggestions about other types of plants that would be suitable. He even recommended installing a fish cave to protect the fish from predators, which we think is a great idea. His enthusiasm for the job, his reasonable costs, and his knowledge of ponds and aquatic life were very impressive to us. We can definitely recommend him if you are looking for a pond specialist.

Living Waters built two amazing spaces in my yard. One was a pathway from my parking area up to my house. It was a meditative and thoughtful walk highlighted by subtle and beautiful treatment of rocks, stone steps, fountain and natural vegetation. Pleasing to come home to and transition from a work day to a home sanctuary. The second area was a magical space for children (and adults!) amid a circle of trees, complete with a wooden "throne", other seating and climbing spaces here and there. Very special! Living Waters creates spaces with spirit and soul, there is no other way to describe this beautiful work.

I have worked with Living Waters for many years now and their work continues to impress me with every job completed. Excellent eye for masonry and water features of any size! Besides that a friendly family man and easy to talk to
