Living water & aquatic ecosystems
Aquatic ecosystems require years of specialized knowledge to design, build, and maintain. Most landscapers stop at the water's edge. We start there.
The spectrum
Every project is scoped individually. Here's the range of what we design, build, and maintain.
A few fish, aquatic plants, pump and filter. A living focal point for any backyard.
100–500 galAquatic plantings, small fish, naturalistic design. Beautiful, low-maintenance, alive.
500–2,000 galFish and plants in a closed loop. Grow real food from a living water feature.
Any scaleLarger naturalistic ponds, streams, waterfalls, formal reflecting pools.
2,000+ galChemical-free swimming filtered entirely by aquatic biology. The pinnacle of living water design.
PremiumStormwater ponds, lake management, commercial fountain installs, large aeration systems. We bring in the right team for projects at this scale.
via partnershipA full-service relationship
This is a full-service relationship from the first conversation to the last water chemistry check. You bring the vision. We handle everything else — design, build, sourcing, and ongoing care. Your water feature stays beautiful because we stay involved.
Every aquatic project starts here. We assess your space, discuss your vision, and determine what's possible — site conditions, system type, scale, and what a living water feature will actually look like on your property.
A complete design document — system layout, component specs, plant selection, fish stocking plan, filtration design, and a full parts list sourced through our trusted supplier network.
We manage the build from start to finish — contractor coordination, parts sourcing, system commissioning, and bringing your water feature to life exactly as designed.
A living system stays beautiful because someone stays involved. We provide monthly care — water quality, plant health, seasonal adjustments, equipment checks. It stays alive. You just enjoy it.
Commercial partner
Absolute Aquatics
For commercial-scale projects — stormwater management, large pond systems, commercial fountain installs — we work in partnership with Absolute Aquatics, a South Carolina-based commercial aquatics company serving the Southeast. Whatever the scale, we know who to call.
Where water meets food
Aquaponics sits at the intersection of our two core disciplines — living water and food production. Fish waste feeds plants. Plants clean the water. Both thrive.
We design and build aquaponic systems at any scale — from a compact indoor unit producing herbs and greens to larger outdoor systems capable of feeding a household.
It's not just a water feature. It's a food system.
Every aquatic project starts with a consultation. Tell us about your space and vision — we'll tell you what's possible.
