They transformed the outside of our home, and it now looks and feels like a magazine spread! Just today, I received compliments from two separate strangers on the front yard. We constantly get compliments on the appearance of our home. Samantha was the landscape architect who created the design, and it was amazing to see her lay out the vision. She saved us space in ways I definitely couldn't have conceived of on my own. She said the remodel would be like doubling our living space, and she was right! Scott oversaw the construction from start to finish. He was very attentive and obviously cared about and was fully invested in the success of the project. He had an expertise with plants and gave great guidance to give me the colors I wanted in plants that would work for our space and the SoCal heat. I am constantly smiling at the plants Scott suggested. They are thriving, and I wouldn't change a thing. The crew was respectful, clean and did a beautiful job. It was a long project, but Pacific Outdoor kept their initial timeline. Our main reason for going with Pacific Outdoor was that they were a one-stop shop. They could do everything. They truly delivered, and it is better than we ever imagined! It was so easy to look at their choices and select what we wanted. They had a wide variety of design choices. We replaced most of the grass in the back with their pavers and used the same pavers for our driveway. They look fantastic. We have a neighbor that had Pacific Outdoor build them a firepit that they love. We received great guidance and attention from the full team all along the way. They didn't quit until the project was finished to our satisfaction. As I float in our beautiful pool and eat tangerines off of my new tree, I feel like a queen and couldn't be happier after choosing Pacific Outdoor! Our family highly recommends them!

(They had also done an excellent job on the pool deck five years earlier, before I knew I was going to fill in the pool.) I have been very pleased with the results, which have really elevated my enjoyment of my home's outdoor areas. I would also caution anyone considering going with System Pavers to steer clear of those crooks. I wasted thousands of dollars having them do a terrible job on my pool deck, and had to have Pacific rip out their work and fix it. It was an expensive mistake that I hope to save others from repeating. If I had gone with Pacific in the first place, I would have saved lots of money and hassle. Some pictures of the driveway, patio, and now-defunct pool deck are included here.

Knowing we had to start over we were researching landscape designers who would provide everything we wanted, while still remaining in budget. We really wanted native plants and something really special. We really liked Rocsana's website and how she put together her plant schedules, after speaking with her and telling her our wildest dreams for our new home, we were encouraged by her enthusiasm and care. We were completely blown away by what she designed. She put together the garden of our dreams. We are so excited to get started on it come fall and execute her perfect vision. We really loved her attention to detail in the plans. She thought of everything from how the plants grow in each season and where the sun will hit the garden best. We also really loved how we could click on the plant schedule and learn more about each plant she picked for our garden. Going through this recovery has been a traumatizing process, but working with Rocsana has been a bright spot in the madness. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking something special for their garden. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and sensitivity to our situation meant the world to us. Thanks Rocsana!

From the very beginning, their team was highly responsive and easy to work with. What really impressed me was their willingness to review photos I sent in advance, provide initial diagnostics, and offer thoughtful recommendations even before stepping on site. That level of accessibility and expertise saved us time and helped us feel confident moving forward. Their pricing was competitive, and the communication throughout the process was clear, prompt, and professional. They were also readily available by phone and asked all the right questions to fully understand our setup and needs. A special shoutout to Kaelib, the technician who handled our project. He was outstanding--professional, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in his work. He made sure we had the correct pump (upgrading us from a level 3 to a level 5 for proper water flow), carefully aligned the fountain, and ensured everything was operating at optimal performance. Beyond just completing the job, Kaelib went above and beyond by sharing his knowledge on how to maintain the fountain year-round, which we really appreciated. He also power washed the area and left the site spotless after activating the system. Overall, this was a smooth, high-quality experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Pacific Pond and Aquarium to any HOA, property manager, or homeowner looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and detail-oriented service.

NOTE: The intro to this review is a tad long. You can skip half of it and go straight to the point…read moreof the review: Pacific Pond and Aquarium is a great company. Andrew has assembled a team of experts that will take care of all of your pond and aquarium needs. And now to the review. About 25 years ago I set up a garden railway (G gauge) in my backyard. One of the features of my garden railway was a small pond, with a waterfall, for the train to travel around and behind the waterfall. The pond was stocked with fish and plants and it was all quite nice. But due to the demands of a growing family and long work hours, my entire garden railway "empire" fell into disrepair, the mainline was abandoned and the little village buildings eventually fell apart. Unlike an indoor layout, a garden railway is subject to all the same forces that a real railway is subject to and so, eventually Mother Nature reclaimed the garden. The pond and waterfall remained in use, but eventually those too fell into disrepair, the fish died and the plants disappeared Into oblivion. All that was left were some rock formations and a big, empty hole in the backyard that filled with water every time it rained. It got to the point where I had considered filling the pond with dirt and turning into a giant planter area. But something said NO, DON'T DO THAT. Flash forward 10 years to 2026. And that is where Andrew and his team at Pacific Pond and Aquarium (PPA) came in...and the actual point of this review. After looking at different companies I decided to e-mail PPA to inquire about repairing the pond and waterfall. After a couple of days (I tend to be impatient and so at that point I had lost hope of hearing from PPA) I heard from Andrew and set up an appointment for him to assess the damage. From that point on things moved fast. Andrew and I discussed a plan of action, that included a thorough cleaning of the pond to remove all the layers of accumulated muck, two fresh coats of sealant, a new filtration system, new pumps and a skimmer. I received a formal, written estimate. I still had a few questions which Andrew promptly answered. I approved the project and within days Alex showed up to clean the pond. He REALLY had to work hard and he spent a very long time cleaning out years of neglect. It was the first time, in more than 20 years, that I had seen the bottom of the pond . The next step was applying the first coat of sealant. That was Kaileb (sp?) job. Again, he spent a great deal of time making sure that the first coat was properly applied. Now the project was moving along. Andrew came to apply the second coat. After Andrew was done with the second coat the walls of the pond looked great, nice and smooth. Now it was time for the equipment set up. The following Monday Andrew showed up to set up the pumps, filters and all electrical connections. There were still a few kinks to be worked out, but Andrew kept working at it, working out all the details. I kept going in and out of the house, hovering around to check the work and to ask Andrew questions. By the end of what seemed (to me and I am sure to Andrew as well) a very long day everything was hooked and ready to go. Andrew turned the switch on and the waterfall, that had been dead and neglected for so many years, came back to life. I could not have been more impressed, or happier, if I had been standing watching Niagara Falls. There are a few more things to add, lighting to highlight the waterfall and, of course fish and plants. But for now, my pond and waterfall are back in business. I am also working on restoring the garden railway so soon, hopefully, there will be trains running around my garden. To summon up what has been a very long review, these are the highlights: PPA is a great company. They do fantastic work for a very reasonable price. Andrew is a great guy to work with, courteous and friendly. The two team members that worked on my project, Alex and Kaileb, are hard working guys who know what they are doing and do it well. If you are looking to set up a new pond, or water feature, for your home or business OR if you are like me and need a company to bring your water garden back to life, look no further than PPA. Give Andrew a call and let the experts at PPA take care of you. I only posted a couple of pictures. I will amend this review to add more photos once the plants and fish go in.
