The Stream and Pond Build

Brian and his team installed a 16' stream with multiple drops into a 16'x11' pond in the rear of our property and we can't speak more highly on the quality of the work. All the way through from consultation to post-install follow ups and check -ins, Brian and his team were phenomenal to work with. Creative, diligent, on-time, and considerate - they genuinely seem to have a passion for water features and you can't fake the passion and sense of fun that it was obvious the guys had when putting down the large rocks and ideating the stream. Quality work from quality people...highly recommend.

Project: Fixing another contractor's work

Response from Hoaglandscape

You are welcome. We are so happy you enjoyed the final product!

Six Years and Counting

We bought an older home several years ago that had both a fountain and a small decorative pond in the backyard. Both needed some work to make them functional. Hoaglandscape assessed what we had; designed improvements for both; and rebuilt them based on the new designs. We were pleased with the work they did six years ago and both the fountain and pond continue to be centerpieces of our property. Hoaglandscape returns each year to clean and service both water features. Not only were we impressed with Hoaglandscape's initial work but also with their on-going maintenance program. The fish in our pond like what they do as well!

Project: Fountain and pond rebuild, yearly service

Response from Hoaglandscape

Reeves thank you so much for your business through all the years.

We considered a pondless waterfall for about 5 years before actually doing it. I don’t know why we waited. We love the water feature and the natural landscaping. When I’m away I truly cannot wait to get back to my serenity spot. Beautiful, calming and soul refreshing. Hoaglandscape was excellent to work with. Prompt, efficient, friendly, trustworthy. I feel comfortable still asking questions if the need arises. Just an all around awesome experience and the result is spectacular.

Project: Pondless waterfall and natural landscaping

Response from Hoaglandscape

Best clients ever!

Brian redid a lot of landscaping on my property. Because I have lots of trees ( think woods) it was challenging coming up with a design that can thrive in shade and not be Deer Candy. In addition to plants, he designed a beautiful pondless waterfall which is the focal point of the back yard. Brian and his team show up on time and work hard to produce a fantastic outcome. They have been very responsive whenever I have had questions or concerns and have rectified any problems I have had. I heartily recommend them!

Project: Shade and deer tolerant landscaping, pondless waterfall

Response from Hoaglandscape

We so appreciate your kind words and love having you as a client!

Brian and his crew were efficient, professional and knowledgeable. We had a small water feature, needing repair, and decided to enhance the area with additional water design. It was a fairly small area to work in, but Brian had a vision and what a difference it made to our yard. We highly recommend him and his talented crew. We especially loved his quick response to phone calls and great communication during the project.

Project: Leak repair plus two added waterfalls

Response from Hoaglandscape

This couple was delightful to work for! Their small water feature was leaking and needed some artistic help, so we added two additional waterfalls and some colorful plants to make their back yard pop! They were so trusting and encouraging. A great experience!

Brian knew exactly what I needed in order to cure the severe algae problem in my pond. Mr . Hoagland communicated clearly each step along the way towards completion of the job. His crew was experienced and efficient preforming the work Plus nice to have around, very knowledgeable and happy to answer my questions. The also left the job site clean each day before leaving my home.

Project: Pondless waterfall

Brian and his crew are nothing short of superb. We had a large project to build on a complicated lot. Brian and his team displayed a huge amount of creativity in building a dream backyard. All on time and all on budget.
