Central Texas Aqua Gardening Nurseries and Landscapers

Middle Texas is full of some of the most impressive water garden nurseries and landscapers that you can imagine. Some complete enormous commercial contracts and are capable of literally creating wonderlands in landscaping. Evidently, the water gardening phenomena has really caught on here, as in some other parts of the country since there are more and more nurseries and landscapers expanding to fill that niche. The few I found in the area were very impressive nurseries.

Originally founded as Fish 'N' Fun Playlake and Watergarden, this nursery/supplier/builder is run by a married couple, Shirley and John Kelly. This company does it all, evidently, from building garden features for commercial and residential owners, to supplying and helping to maintain their garden installations. He is in charge of the building and repairing of ponds and water gardens and she takes care of maintaining, purchasing and propagating all the aquatic plants. Both are Master Gardeners and have created a lovely company that prides itself on service. They can personally design a custom pond, waterfall or fountain for anyone. Then they are always there to help stock it with fish, new plants and other water features. Natural Ponds and Gardens has a lot of water lilies and water hyacinths, as well as tropical and semi-tropical bog plants for use in low-lying areas around a pond or waterfall. Since many plants have to be replaced regularly, it's good to know a nursery that has a wide choice in this department.

Paradise Ponds extols the virtues of water gardens for their peace, beauty, and because they bring families together outside and take them away from the hectic, stress that we're all undergoing on a daily basis. They design ponds for beauty and refuge. With underwater lighting and darting fish and graceful plants, these ponds are designed to bring even older children outside day and night. The photo gallery of some of their "masterpieces" is incredible--really impressive. The nursery is fully certified as an acquascape contractor. They can create bogs, ponds, waterfalls, and wetlands--even creeks and lakes. Paradise Ponds will do on-site construction for very large-scale projects and they'll tailor special services like pond sitting!

Innovative Landscape in Lubbock can create waterfalls, small and large ponds and water gardens, but they are able to also supply some supplemental features like bridges and retaining walls. Their nursery has all sorts of trees and shrubs so they're a full-service nursery and landscaping center too. They take pride in offering very unusual and creative designs that are unique. Just looking at their picture gallery, I can see that they've really designed some quite large areas with rushing water, decked with cedar and stunning stonework. This family owned business started up in 1989. They also do estate design, irrigation and even golf courses. The company web site describes the company as a family-owned business with Christian values" and they state that their mission is to give the best and most complete service at a fair price. This has to be a first choice for many Midland or Odessa-area landowners.
