Within 24 hours of contacting Eric he arrived at my house to service a fountain that was installed by a previous owner of my house and which needed cleaning and pump replacement in order to use. He was great. Definitely recommend.

Worst contractor in ever…here is their idea of a $5000 pond rehab job…next picture is what Borsello Lanscapers did…took First state 3 hours …took Borsello 3 days. First State reviews are fakes.

Response from First State Ponds and Fountains
This customer has been harassing me from day 1 we started this project , we completed the project and customer and his wife were happy, a month later we get called out because of a leak. Once we got on site we noticed customer has done additional work to pond which more then likely caused the leak. We continued to look for the leak, came back 2 more times after customer said pond was still leaking. After many emails with him threatening me and responding professionally i finally told customer if he is not happy with us coming out to try to pin point leak that customer more then likely caused I told him to get another company out and I will pay for the fix . After he got another company to come out he emailed me a number of $13,000 to RE DO the pond . Customer tried to scam me into paying to redo his entire pond which didn’t need to be done .

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.
