Our Story
Our Owner
Welcome to Aquatic Artists, where we're Crafting Waterfall Masterpieces in Every Yard.
- Age 15
I started my career in the green industry at the ripe young age of 15 when I began cutting my neighbors' lawns.
- Rutgers University
This side hustle grew into a fledging landscaping business that financed my Rutgers University business degree.
- Landscape Construction
After graduating, I expanded our company's services to include all aspects of landscape construction. It's during this time that I gained extensive experience in, and developed my love for, building water features.
- 2003 · Aquatic Artists
After building hundreds of ponds and water features for more than 19 years, I decided to focus on what I enjoyed the most… designing and constructing waterfalls. So, in 2003, our company name changed from Chuck's Landscape Design (how original!) to Aquatic Artists.
- Today
For the past 20 years, we've crafted award-winning unique and diverse natural stone waterfalls throughout the East Coast. We look forward to placing our next masterpiece in your backyard. Reach out to us today!
Our Craftsmanship
Our craftsmanship speaks for itself, but don't take our word for it.
The Difference
Why We're Different
Employee Education
Our skilled craftsmen complete Waterfall University, an intense training program that covers the safety, technical and artistic details of water feature design, construction and installation. From there, they engage this knowledge to create award-winning works of art that transform a standard pool project into a visually appealing and acoustically pleasing backyard oasis.
Technology & Communication
We equip employees with technologically advanced communication tools, including company issued laptops and smart phones, to ensure they know and stay abreast of every detail of your project at all times. Along with a strong command of the English language, our craftsmen use these tools to effectively and efficiently communicate with you and to provide you with exceptional customer service.
We SOLELY Craft Natural Stone Waterfalls
Unlike stone masons who excel at building fireplaces and outdoor kitchens, we excel at crafting waterfall masterpieces. When stone masons attempt a waterfall project, the result tends to resemble a fireplace or an outdoor kitchen. Not so artistic or appealing!
Unlike landscape contractors, who occasionally construct waterfall projects, we SOLELY build waterfalls. So, instead of viewing their limited portfolio of projects, we invite you to peruse our gallery of more than 500 images that capture our extensive body of work.
We're often called in to rebuild waterfall projects completed by stone masons and landscapers. But, why not save yourself some money, time and heartache by calling us first! We're providing you some before and after photos to demonstrate how we exceeded the homeowner's expectation by turning these dismal projects into waterfall masterpieces.
