Florida Water Garden Builders and Nurseries

As one might expect, Florida is swarming with landscaping companies and all sorts of contractors with the constant building boom going on along its coasts. There's been an increasing interest in water gardening there to, an interest that is really sweeping the entire country. Around the Tampa Bay area and even in central Florida are several well-respected contracting companies that have done extensive work in the general vicinity and beyond. I found some that offer quite unique services of an upscale nature.

Aquafeatures in Tallahassee has something I haven't seen at most of the aqua suppliers in my town-"pondless" waterfalls. Their pictures make me want to run down there right now and order one. These contractors can make waterfalls, streams, ponds and all sorts of water gardens. The web site is evidently new and doesn't have any links for ordering or browsing pictures and history, but customers can just call Buz Ireland at 850-562-5797 to get directions and obtain some more details about their services.

Rock Castles actually has two locations: one in Kentucky and the other in Avon Park, FL, near Tampa. This company constructs all kinds of water features: "We construct waterfalls, pondless waterfalls, streams, ponds up to around 5 to 20 feet wide and long as you have room for." They do give free estimates in the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennessee with pond and waterfall features exceeding $4,000, but anyone in the Tampa area should certainly try to see the local business and compare their services and pricing with the other water garden landscapers. Contact them at 863-257-4068 to make inquiries and ask for driving directions to their operation in Avon Park.

Bayscape is "Florida's One-stop contractor for virtually all your outdoor living spaces needs." These folks have a slick web site and they provide services in landscaping for ponds, unusual water features, streams as well as irrigation needs and ambient lighting for any completed water garden to show it off at night! There are plenty of testimonials on this site from satisfied prior customers. It is actually their partner, Aquascapes, that is responsible for all the water features work. I can bet they have a hefty picture album and plenty of referrals people can check out too.
