History
Founded in 2002, Pondscapes of Charlotte is a Design/Build Water Feature Company, specializing in backyard retreats. Based in Charlotte, NC, we serve primarily the Southern Piedmont and Northern South Carolina regions, although we have installed water features throughout the United States, including Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, and Florida. In 2006, we formed an alliance with Pike Family Nursery in Ballantyne through Aquascapes, Inc’s Water Gardening Excellence Program, where we train staff, teach seminars, construct water features and promote the lifestyle water features bring. In the Charlotte area, Pondscapes of Charlotte is known as the place to go when the project must be done right--the first time!
