Is your contractor Pond Squad approved?
The Pond Squad (previously known as the Pond Stars) is a reality show following the wild world of pond building, as the talented team transforms uninspired spaces into water feature wonderlands.
The stars of the show (from Aquascape) are Greg Wittstock, Ed Beaulieu, Brian Helfrich and Chris Hanson. These guys are my mentors and my friends. I have trained with each of them and worked on numerous builds around the country (and world) with them over the past 10 years.
These builds include:
Aquascape’s signature pond at headquarters (2008)
Brian’s backyard pond (2009)
The Green Community Makeover in Ed’s neighborhood (2010)
Shedd Aquarium (2011)
Lincoln Park Zoo (2013)
McCannon Farm (2014)
Q Center Waterfall (2016)
Recreation Pond (2017)
I also traveled to Uganda, East Africa with Ed (2012), the Dominican Republic with both Greg and Ed (2013) and to Ghana, West Africa with Ed (2014) to bring clean water to those in great need! (visit our mission trip page)
I was honored to be acknowledged as a Top Frog, in the top 100 contractors and have my picture taken with the Pond Stars.
