Long story short. Well, maybe not so short: I wanted a pond that was easy to clean with little maintenance. Done. I wanted a pond that I had asked for originally, but did not get,with another company; to have a water surface of 9'x7'. They had included the rocks as part of 9x7 and charged full price. I would discover that later, but moving on, I got what I wanted from AquaDon. The waterfall tiers ( four that also included a fifth tier depending on how rocks were used in directing the flow of water) added to my delight. Also, whenever I had a question or request, he came immediately to check, respond, and make any requested adjustments. I have been besieged with inquiries from neighbors and friends, lawn people and construction contractors from neighbor's yard regarding Don's work. Folks who have looked over my fence are amazed at what they are hearing and seeing. I live in Northwest, DC. My yard is a mixed use yard. My cats run freely in cages connected with high and low tunnels; the birds enjoy eating safely from three feeders located at ponds edge; squirrels approach the sliding glass doors to get their peanuts, and me? I sit out in the early evening in front of my pond and watch the birds eat and bathe. When not raining, I go out at night and watch the falls reflect the colored lights. So relaxing, I hate for winter to come. I have to say, though, I am saving for a commercial tower heater so I can have this type of Zen long into the season. Thank you, Don....( still have to tweak some of the lighting...but willing to wait till Spring, as the color lights are still very nice). I did not intend to do everything at once. It was to be done in stages. I did not intend to spend what it has cost; it was to be done in stages, too. But, I had saved for something nice to be done in back yard, and without meaning to, added a great deal to my home's value. Who knew? Kay Haller P.S. Not selling:)
Description of Work: Last year, after a concerted effort on my part to get my old pond working again, I made a call to Don McNicholas of AQUADON. After leaving a message explaining my pond's needs, I received a call from Don who informed me that he would try to fit me into an already filled Autumn schedule. I soon forgot about the pond as the season changed to winter. Imagine my surprise when I heard from him in early Spring. He scheduled a visit, drove over ninety minutes to get to my home, heard my concerns and explored what I would like. After making some suggestions, he later texted me a rundown on costs. As I had been saving for a "redo" on the pond, I approved what he wanted to accomplish. From demolition to completion (which still needs some tweaks with the lighting), I got to witness "old school" professional ethics, sweat, hard labor, and workmanship. He was training a young man in the business, and unbeknown to him, as I watched from the window, he would undo slabs of rock that were placed incorrectly or not placed hard enough to keep it level with what he was trying to achieve. The young man learned.

The provider and his crew of three assistants removed the existing landscape, laid a heavy-duty pond liner, provided and installed several pallets of large rocks along the floor and sides of the pond, built a large beautiful waterfall with efficient filters for keeping the water clean, installed an easy-to-maintain skimmer with high-quality pump that has lasted so far for 7 years, and created a berm that now contains numerous colorful plants. The work went smoothly, and the Aquadon crew was always prompt, worked steadily and efficiently within budget and time limits, showed exemplary dedication and enthusiasm for their work, and went the extra mile. For example, Don repaired a broken drainage pipe that he had found near the pond pump drain ,provided a lotus and some koi in the project for no extra cost, etc. As the owner of a small, agile company, Don of Aquadon provides the consummate personal touch in tailoring his work to meet customer needs. He manages to save the customer money by doing what larger companies assign to a large crew with bigger, more expensive machinery. Whenever I had a question or any difficulty, Don resolved the issues quickly with no problems. For the past 8 years, he has ensured that I am pleased with my pond and able to keep the fish healthy and keep the water clear, as well as fulfilling other landscaping, drainage, and plumbing projects and contracts. I receive numerous compliments on my impressive pond and gardens, and I highly recommend Aquadon Pond and Plumbing Services as an outstanding service provider, whom I will continue to hire.
Description of Work: Pond construction and continuing services, including plumbing and hardscapes, between 3/20/2008 and 4/17/2015 (most recent contract): The pond, constructed in 2008 by the provider and company owner, Don McNicholas of Aquadon,, is a 14' x 8' beautiful water feature with large border rocks and shelves for pond plants, as well as hiding places for fish.
