Craig and his team were top notch! We were pleasantly surprised to be dealing with a contractor who communicated regularly, got us a bid right away, showed up on time, and finished the job quickly. We paid in full after one day of work converting our pond into a pondless waterfall-- even though he still needed to come back the next day to finish the job. But he showed up as promised, and the work he did was amazing. His bid beat other estimates. read more

I had a leak in my fountain and had Craig come by to check it out. He did not know if it was a crack in the pond or a pipe leak. He proceeded one step at a time and discovered that it was a pipe leak. He ran a new pipe line that was hidden and all is well. Craig and his crew are top nothch. read more

Luna Aquatic was a total standout from start to finish. Craig and his team came out, gave us an honest, transparent quote and even offered a discount, which meant a lot to us as we're in the middle of a major home remodel. Every member of the crew was professional, thorough, and worked diligently throughout the project. Craig in particular was first-rate. His communication and follow-through were outstanding he truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and on time. It's rare to find this level of service and integrity these days, and I cannot recommend Luna Aquatic highly enough. They've earned our trust and future business. read more

Sadly, I have to update my review with a lesser rating. While Craig did a wonderful job with the design and install of our pond, getting him to maintain it was difficult if not impossible. We were happy to pay for the service yet he still would not get back in touch with us. This happened on a number of occasions. read more

Please read this review... For people looking for a great look and company. This is it. They landscaped my front yard with a water feature. In a very limited square foot area. We love it. I assume many companies can make very beautiful designs because that's what they are paid to do, and specialize in. This company is no different. What makes them different is their commitment to what you have had them build. Over the years I have called them back to fix the feature if it broke. To add extra lights even when the time would not benefit them (they did it for free even). When I had a main pipe leak and a plumbing company ruined the landscape. They came back and fixed what the other company left looking disastrous. This is why I recommend this company. Anyone can build something attractive and modern. But it takes someone special, to keep committed - ensuring that the product and landscape you purchased, lasts a life time. Ten stars! read more

Craig (owner) and his crew at Lunaquatic are fantastic and honest. We were very happy with how our pondless waterfall turned out. The best part, though, has been their five-star customer service even after the project was done. They're very responsive when we've run into maintenance/upkeep questions, and they've truly stood behind their work. We lucked out by finding them and would highly recommend for anyone looking to add or upgrade a water feature! read more

I am an EXTREMELY picky person, to say the least and tend to micromanage inconspicuously. With that said, as I watched Lunaquatic in action I was amazed with their performance, professionalism, cleanliness and ultimately their EXCEPTIONALLY well done job. I can honestly say that I've never had a truly "POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE" review of any company, because there was always something that wasn't to my satisfaction. However Lunaquatic broke that mold. These are the reasons why. 1. Their work speaks for itself. 2. They're considerate with the noise level which does not make us feel at unease with our neighbors. 3. Once again, they worked and carried themselves so professionally. Once the work was done, they left the yard spotless!! I can't say or think of anything negative to say about them! They have such an Awesome crew. Craig, definitely is a hands on owner. He showed up everyday to the job site until everything was 100% satisfied! Brian and Chris were not only hard workers but very respectful. I'd recommend Lunaquatic!! read more

Love my new pond by Lunaquatics, enlarged my existing pond to twice its size. Craig and crew were great to work with, Craig had great ideas to transform my old pond into the new one. Only took 4 days to complete, they did a good job cleaning up after each day. Very impressed with the quality and workmanship. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to build a pond. read more

Wow!! Our stream is STUNNING that Craig fixed in one day. Not only does he have an amazing artistic eye, but he left this place spotless. I've had other workers come and leave cuttings and a mess everywhere. Craig must run a tight ship because everything was right where it was supposed to be, and he even took the time to clean up beds that were not thriving. I finally feel that we have so much life around us again! We've had a rough year with health issues and finances and mean neighbors. But after Craig left, I felt a HUGE weight taken off of me. And I wasn't even here when they were working! I trusted him and I came home to a gorgeous pondless stream and waterfall. Did I mention that he is one of the nicest, kindest, most honest and respectful men I've ever met who truly cares about the client. His prices are good-competitive with some others. But I would choose Lunaquatic over anyone else, any day. I'll try to post some photos when I get the landscaping in. Thank you Craig! You are the best!!! read more

BEAUTIFUL WORK!! My husband and I wanted a pondless water feature and these guys were amazing!! Craig and his team did an amazing job at a fantastic price. And they got the job done all in one day!! I highly recommend these guys. DO NOT HESITATE. read more

Wow! Reviewers were correct. Craig showed up. On time. Gave us some great advice to fix our fountain. Small job but he didn't care. Another decent human to add to my small list of decent people. read more

We decided to redo our backyard and wanted to add a large water feature as the main part of it. We were refereed to Lunaquadic by a former customer of theirs. The process started with Craig coming out to look over the area, get our ideas and put together a bid. From the 1st meeting I was very impressed with Craig, he was very professional, knowledgeable and truly understood what I was looking for before I could tell him. After agreeing to the bid, Craig did not ask for a large amount of money up front, another good sign he runs a professional company. We set up a start date, and on that day he and his crew showed up 1st thing that morning and put in a full hard days work. They remained on the job showing up each morning and working until the job was done. Craig was on site much of the time, and oversaw each step giving us great confidence the job would go well and it did! We are very impressed with the final outcome of the yard, the professionalism and dedication to the job and would happily recommend Craig to everyone we know looking for this type of work. Lunaquatic and Craig are examples of how a quality company should be run! read more

im with dina d. 6 stars is really the review for LUNAQUATIC! we are a design firm in los angeles and originally met craig when we were reviving a 1920's fountain that hadn't worked in decades. enter...LUNAQUATIC! within the specified time period and the amount contracted the fountain was up and running. Craig is genius, super polite, extremely thorough and really important ~very clean! we continually use craig and LUNAQUATIC whenever the word "fountain" appears in our agenda. read more

Lunaquatic - this is the 1920's fountain LUNAQAUTIC revived for material ENVIRONMENT. and re/finished the concrete and added lights and.... - Landscaping Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Craig from Lunaquatic was absolutely fantastic. He fixed our fountain and left for his next job less than 90 minutes from when we called him. Totally professional, fixed a pair of serious problems with ease, and was basically flawless at his job. If you're reading this, trust me: hire Lunaquatic! read more

Craig did some extensive landscaping including a fountain and a deck. Friendly guy with a good eye for design, but sadly the quality of his work does not hold up nor do I find him reliable. I am still waiting to hear back from him messages that I left several months ago. I had to repair and or replace all of the pipes to the sprinklers and fountain because they all leaked. I discovered this after enormous water bills and searching around noticed how wet the ground was. Now the fountain itself is leaking. Upon further investigation with other landscape architects, I learned that he did not use a hard liner but a soft liner that is now leaking. Each landscape architect told me it was the worst job they had seen for a fountain. So now I am in the process of replacing the fountain. The deck was a nightmare. He would bring the redwood and there would be black spot on it. He did not know what there were and I certainly did not. Finally after my researching I learned it was tannin bleed. I went to Home Depot and there was a product to apply to get rid of it. I showed it to Craig and he said, oh yeah I have used that before. I specifically told him how I wanted the post on the deck placed above the concrete with U - sharped brackets. But instead he put the raw wood into the wet concrete. Over time that wood will absorb moisture need to be replaced as opposed to how I wanted it done. His lead worker destroyed the top to my spa by using it as a saw horse, he left all the saw dust on the top of it and while I was traveling for business it rained and the sawdust and chemicals in the wood stained the top and could not be repaired. Friendly guy with a good eye for design, but his workmanship and follow through are weak and shoddy for long haul. read more

We've been thinking about replacing our lawns for a very long time. We happened to walk by a house in our neighborhood and admired their front yard. The owner came out, told us about what a wonderful project it was - and showed us the backyard. The design was resonating with us and depicted ideas that fit so perfectly with what we wanted but hadn't figured out. She highly recommended Lunaquatic. So, long story short, we called Lunaquatic that afternoon, Craig called call back within hours, and set up an appointment. We started the project in mid January and finished just as February started. (This project was interrupted by replacing our roof - but that's another story.) We replaced the lawn in the front and back yards - and took out oodles of ivy along our side yard. We had some ideas of what plants we wanted - drought tolerant, California Native, butterfly and hummingbird friendly, with lots of color and texture variety. Craig, or the Yard Whisperer, as we came to call him, employed his talents and artistry, started with our vague ideas, and created the most amazing spaces. He and his crew are great to work with. Our yard is now a neighborhood showpiece. In the front, a dry creek bed meanders from one side to the other, with rocks, plants, and lights creating subtle focal points. The back yard is now an oasis in which our kids can play and we can quietly read, as the plants grow up around us. The side yard has a ground covers and shrubs that will stabilize the slight slope, bloom and smell lovely, while not housing critters as the ivy did. I actually go outside now - to look at the plants, rocks, and creek bed. It's so pleasant just to be in it. Runners, dog people, parents and kids walking by all stop, compliment the yard, and ask who did what. In case you're wondering, the price was reasonable, extremely competitive, and did not break the bank. Most people looking at the yard, who dare to ask, are surprised that such a gorgeous yard was affordable. All in all, it was the most pleasant home construction/remodeling project we've ever done. So much so, we're figuring out what to do with the parts of the yard we didn't yet touch - and you can be sure Lunaquatic will be involved! read more

Perhaps it is a pyrrhic victory to be one of the top Yelp search results, as a small business may suddenly get flooded with jobs that the business simply cannot handle. I contacted Craig for a pond repair job and he told me to send him a text with my number and address so we could set up a meeting at my house. I waited half a day which I figured that was enough time to finish his current task. I waited a day, then two, then three. I figure by now he is just not going to contact me. I wish him and any of his clients well but I was turned off by the complete lack of response. Perhaps he is great, but I will never know. read more

My condo building has a common "atrium" area with a very large cascading water fountain--a great feature of the building as it creates a lovely ambient "babbling brook" sound. But the bed of the fountain had cracked over years of the ground settling and we had a leak on our hands. We tried to call many different companies to bid the job - waterproofing companies, landscape companies, pool companies, etc etc. and no one was willing to tackle the job. We almost considered just filling it up and covering the area with landscaping...until we found Craig and Lunaquatic. Craig was very responsive when I initially called, and we quickly set a date for him to come inspect the fountain. He recommended draining and redoing the fountain to prevent future cracks and leaks, and he explained why we shouldn't just do the short term fixes of sealing the crack. He also suggested installing a sump pump, which we really needed during LA's two annual rains to make sure the fountain doesn't flood. We could tell Craig really knew what he was talking about and we trusted his recommendation. Work started a couple weeks later and 3-4 days later Craig's crew had completed our new fountain. Craig and his guys completed everything as outlined, quickly, efficiently, and with great skill. They did a great job. But when everything was done, a few of the homeowners were unhappy with the way things looked. What happened next is why Lunaquatic gets 5/5 stars-- We explained the concerns and Craig was totally understanding. He made some quick adjustments in the short term that really helped, and then he scheduled his guys for a whole extra morning of work a couple weeks later to make the bigger changes we were looking for. He did all of this without additional charges. He said he wanted to make sure we were happy with the job. And I can tell you, we really are. Big thanks to Craig, Junior and the whole team who gave us a great new fountain and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. We would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to get this kind of work done. read more

Really like Craig. Knowledgable and patient, he offered great advice. Looking forward to working with him.

I am a native of California and my wife and I have lived in our Santa Monica home for 45 years. We have never dealt with a contractor for any work with whom we enjoyed more than Craig Rosales at Lunaquatics. His plans, workers and landscaping were perfect. Everyone went out of their way to cooperate with us, work carefully and stay within the estimated budget. When they completed each days work the area was clean. Thank you Craig and and everyone at Lunaquatics for your outstanding attitude and work. read more

We worked with Craig and his team to repair and replace the pump mechanism in our backyard water feature. The original installing company did some real sub-par work and Craig and the folks at Lunaquatic worked wonders on repairing, updating, and fixing it up. Craig was great at communicating, his staff was friendly and cleaned up each day. Definitely call on Craig. read more

Lunaquatic helped me install a very custom koi pond into an existing multi-level redwood deck. Craig and his team were amazing to work with - the work quality was 1st class, the level of creativity and design flexibility was incredible and their communication and overall service level was superb. I would highly recommend then for custom water features or koi pond installations. Very knowledgeable, attentive and always on-time. read more

These guys are great. Fast response time on a leaking fountain (installed by another company) and fair prices. Highly recommend.

Craig not only was amazing for the initial process of bidding, designing and installing my custom water fountains, but he continues to be a huge resource with maintenance and support as things come up. Two thumbs up for Lunaquatic. read more

If I could give Lunaquatic six stars, I would!! I had a backyard that would make you want to stay in when the weather was beautiful...I finally decided to do something about it and interviewed quite a few "pond experts". They either didn't understand what I wanted or just wanted to charge me an arm and a leg. Craig came out to meet with me and understood immediately what I wanted. I had a pond that was very old and I explained my biggest concern was to protect my water turtles. I also found during our first meeting that Craig has been doing landscape design for a very long time. I decided to take a chance and hire him to do it all. I wanted something that would look beautiful but require very little maintenance. I asked for a DG pathway, succulants, a space to be left for artificial turf and lighting around the trees and pond. I can't tell you how beautiful it came out..I LOVE my new backyard! The before and after photos are unbelievable!! Whenever I have a question, Craig gets right back to me or stops by to check in. One of my plants needed to be replaced as it wasn't doing well and he came that week and replaced it and even brought a few more and scattered them around. I can't say enough great things about Craig and his team!! It is rare that you find someone that stands by his work!! read more

Craig has a degree in art, I believe. He also has spent over a decade in landscaping. Combining his artful eye for scale, proportion, color, form, and light and shade with the technical skills of water and lighting features, makes his abilities unique. He did our front yard lighting over a decade ago, taking care to avoid "hoy spots". He shared the rationale for his choices with me. Since doing that, I always notice the amateurish lighting around the neighborhoods of LA and wish more people used Craig. He then designed a backyard plan that was amazing in that he recaptured space we had lost to grading a very steep hill. In 2016, Craig and his team did a major re-landscaping of our front yard. I had definite ideas and plant lists. Craig fulfilled all my wishes but better, since he has that eye and experience. The yard is now water wise, fresh and fun but still appropriate for our traditional 1929 Normandy Tudor revival home in Westwood. The team was really nice and professional. They swept up every night and finished in 2 weeks. The yard and the crew were so well received by the neighborhood, we must have received 2 dozen requests for the co. name and number. The yard looks great almost 3 years later. The fountain is maintenance free except for a little algae cleaning. read more

we had excellent experience with craig of lunaquatic. he did a water cascade in our front yard. we were not sure that the cascade would match the rest of our landscaping, but he did a phenomenal job of tying it in. he had an excellent aesthetic, and he was right on with all of his ideas and suggestions. completely transformed the look of our yard. he also completed the job exactly according to the timeline that he set. his crew was professional. he was excellent communicator. altogether he delivered more than we expected. strongly recommend him read more

For our medium sized fountain, Craig and his guys resurfaced the fountain box, removed the old flagstone and installed new tile on the wall above and behind the water feature, installed two new copper water spouts and two new underwater led lights, relocated the electrical outlet and replaced the water pump. Very professional installation, cleaned up after every day that they were on site and communicated clearly during the process. Exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them for your job. read more

Craig is a great, talented guy and he's wonderful to work with. He turned our sad little yard into a garden oasis! The pond is awesome and we enjoy it every day. The lighting and plants were perfect and really add to the overall feel of the yard. He built a nice wood fence to provide some separation. He also left us as-built documentation so we knew where sprinklers and lights were....what an idea! He is always responsive with questions and concerns. I would highly recommend using Lunaquatics. We are plotting the front yard..... read more

Craig built a pond less waterfall with 12 ft creek in my backyard last week. It looks so natural and beautiful, you'd never guess it is "man made" ! It took about 3 days to build. I've gotten nothing but compliments from friends and neighbors who just want to sit by my creek and relax with the gentle sound of flowing water. It's so very relaxing any time of the day and worth every penny........he added lights so at night, the entire waterfall glows so beautifully. I'm so very very pleased with Craig's professionalism and follow through. We had some minor issues with a part not working correctly and with each return visit, he always had a pleasant demeanor and smile albeit a slightly inconvenient situation for him. I also love that he was open to answering any questions I had through text or voicemail. He actually answers his phone too! (What a plus!). I would highly recommend Lunaquatic for any water feature you need. read more
