Ron was a pleasure to work with. I wanted to replace an old fish pond that had been ravaged by raccoons with a fountain that would be easy to manage and (most importantly) add sound and beauty to my backyard. He found the perfect style & color of barrel fountain and completed the job in a short amount of time and according to his estimate. A great experience, I highly recommend Vortex Water Features!
Ron reimagined an old cement lined pond that was probably original to our 100+ year old house. We were tired of dealing with raccoons so he designed a lovely stream with a waterfall that flows into the existing pond basin with no fish. Ron is really easy to work with and we love that he has a fine art background. I would also describe him as a landscape artist.
Ron enlarged and improved the existing Pond and added a bio-bog. The operation has been problem free for 4 years and attracts birds and dragonflies. Ron is honest, fair and reliable. A very nice person to work with. He also has a terrific design eye - he reworked paths that I was not happy with and added boulders throughout the garden to give it a naturalistic look. I was very pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ron and his work
I had a great experience designing and building a pond with Ron DeGeorge. I spent several years getting estimates (really costly ones) while looking for someone who could create an affordable biological filtration system rather than one with powerful pumps and filters. The pond has evolved into a totally natural looking upper/lower pond with waterfall. I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted, having read a lot about pond building, and remember the advice Ron offered in our first meeting....along the lines of ‘I won’t tell y... read more
I have worked with Ron DeGeorge for more than 20 years...multiple sites for garden design. A large Water feature at our residence and another smaller one completed in 2007 at my work place....he does beautiful work...our garden layout and the longevity of the patios and planting is stunning. Guests often ask to take photos so they can replicate some of his ideas....Ron is always willing to come by and make suggestions for trimming, replanting or adding plants. The pond Ron designed and built has been up and running for over ... read more
