Get matched with top fountain and pond pros in Washington, DC

"Eric and his team were prompt and efficient. In a few hours they finished and left me a beautiful pond with a fountain. I will recommend his company to others for certain."

"They do great work. We had another company that gauged us and the pond filters and circulator were always breaking down. Since using Pond Doctor we have no issues. Twice a year maintenance and a beautiful pond that gives us a lot of pleasure."

"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been
leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar
between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My
pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one
stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on
enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she
vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline
and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the
edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding
down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump
and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to
the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had
a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from
expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked
up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in
ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is
magic.

"The work went well. It took a little while for someone to contact me and then get back to me, but when they arrived everything went well and I'd definitely use them again."

"Cindy Shuart is an award winning designer.  The best there is. She re-did our front landscape with a beautiful mix of plantings and stone.  We used her in the past for our pool landscape and patio.  It include a fabulous waterfall, the use of river stone and a great mix of shrubs and perennials.  That design is now 6  years old and it has stood the test of time superbly."

"Mychael was a wonderful professional! He did an amazing job and offered me such a fair rate to cut grass that had not been cut in weeks, he also made suggestions on how to convert a patch of dirt in my front yard into a wonderful flowerbed and selected the flowers for me! He is a very committed professional and I look forward to working with him in the future!"

"As always, weather has an impact. The end result is very nice and my husband and I really like it. I would hire this company again."

"We contracted with 5th Gen Group for repairs to flooring, subfloor, and floor joists in the lower unit of our condo building. 5th Gen Group was very helpful and responsive, and offered a detailed estimate for the project at a competitive rate. The owner of 5th Gen Group went above and beyond to answer our questions and ensure that our needs were met. The workers and foreman that 5th Gen Group provided were extremely professional, the quality of the work was excellent, and the job was completed quickly. I would definitely recommend 5th Gen Group to others, and will happily work with them again on future projects."

"The service was excellent. We had to cancel our original appointment at the last minute due to delays our renters encountered while moving out. They rescheduled the appointment without any issues. When we were able to have them come in, the team fixed the door frames and they look new. In addition, they were able to fix a severely damaged kitchen cabinet without us needing to get a new cabinet. Overall, the team a great job and were extremely efficient."

"First, the entire experience was positive.  I started with a blank canvas and the water garden and patio with swing turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined.  The stonemasons were very professional and courteous and kept the work area immaculate throughout the entire process. While this work was performed close to nine months ago, it is because of a recent experience that I feel more compelled than ever to provide a rating.  I’m a firm believer in seeking the knowledge and lessons learned from reviews such as these on Angie’s List; however, I’m one of those folks that gets distracted and forgets to add a rating.  Last weekend I did the “spring” clean on the pond and since the pump was off for a while, it did not start up immediately and I panicked [my two koi and four goldfish have become family!].  I called Maxsell’s number and wasn’t surprised as it was Sunday that I didn’t get an answer.  I didn’t leave a message, however, within minutes Mike Dowling, the owner was calling me back!  He was at my house within 15 minutes.  Luckily, as Mike explained, the pump was simply not primed since it had been turned off for a while and all ended well.  While Mike was there, he offered to install a recently purchased UV clarifier.  Maxsell’s motto is “Friendship Through Service” and it was certainly demonstrated. "
