April and Toby and the Aguafina team are amazing! Not only were they professional from our first initial planning meeting, their plants and trees are full and gorgeous. April is so easy to work with and a true expert in every way. She listened to our needs and responded with adding the perfect landscaping for our backyard. We had a stone fireplace, water fountain and pergola built and this is now our most favorite space in our home. Every time we reached out with a need or question, big or small, April was on it and we have been 100% satisfied.

We stopped in to look around. The staff was very helpful. We had questions about the pond and water feature in our garden. They were able to give us some good suggestions to try.
