Aaron created a natural looking stream for us and planted ferns and shade loving plants. We are delighted with his artistry. We never imagined it could look so natural. And it was a pleasure to work with Melissa and Aaron. Personable and respectful. The fair price was a surprise. It was something we could afford. We thought we’d have to keep saving much longer for this project.
We HIGHLY recommend Aaron. He has the eye and the ability to create something stunning.
Aaron was pleasant to work with. He responded immediately to emails and although I am 2 hrs away from him, was here exactly when he said he would be. He replaced my pump and helped tweak a couple of other issues for me. I will be calling him in the future for maintenance with my pondless waterfall.
Aaron has done a great job to clean my pond! He did a thorough inspection on his first visit to diagnose the issues. On his 2nd visit, he did a deep clean for the pond and also replaced the broken UV bulb. On top of that, he added a thin net over the pond to prevent the leaves falling into the pond. This is so helpful to maintain the pond clean!
Aaron is very knowledgeable about pond maintenance. I highly recommend Aaron’s high quality pond service work!
I called Aaron when my pond pump quit working. Right away he came out to verify that the pump had indeed died and was not just clogged up. By the end of the day I had a quote for a replacement. When the new pump arrived, he came out and had it installed and running in no time. So good to have the sound of the waterfalls again. It’s rare to find a quick response for a small job like mine. I would highly recommend Golden State Ponds.
I hired Aaron to build a front yard koi pond and turtle pond. It was just simply amazing how Aaron and his team finished everything in a short time and fantastic quality at a reasonable price. Aaron is so professional knowledgeable and hard working and ensure everything is in a perfect shape. You can tell he has a great passion for the work he done. I was talking to him to plan my next koi pond project in the backyard now. So lucky to find him on the thumbtack! I would give him 1000 out of 100 score for his work. Just amazing!
We initially engaged Aaron to help repair a leak in the pond I had tried to build myself, but Aaron ended up improving the look and feel of the entire pond. The result was amazing and we really appreciate his sense of design and attention to detail! We are so excited about potentially working with Aaron on more projects!
