Peaceful Ponds 9000 Arbor Glen Lane, Charlotte, NC 28210

"We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Peaceful Ponds. Brian was so helpful during the planning/ design process. He was able to bring us a plan that exceeded what we had imagined being able to do, while still being mindful of our budget. He worked directly with us every step of the way- making the process easy and enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about a thing other than watching our beautiful backyard come together!! The crew was always on site early and worked hard the entire day, completing our project quickly. Can’t recommend this wonderful company enough!"

"This review is way overdue, but I'm actually in a better position to offer longer-term feedback on my experience with Peaceful Ponds as a result. I hired PP about a year ago to renovate my front yard, which sits on a pretty steep slope. Brannon was our project manager, and he was amazing to work with. We met with several contractors when searching for the best fit, and it was clear from our first meeting with Brannon that we wanted to work with him. In contrast to the other firms we contacted, Brannon took time to understand our goals and the desired outcome we were seeking rather than rushing to provide a quote. He approached the hiring phase from the perspective of a partnership rather than just being an "order taker" to implement the initial ideas we had. This turned out to be critical, as he had much more creative ideas on how to best transform the front yard. It's clear that Brannon has strong design skills, and he was able to synthesize all of our preferences in styles, materials, and plants into a sketch that was simply amazing. After working out the details and contract, which was a fairly painless process, we hired PP to take on the project. Brannon was transparent with the timing in terms of their backlog, and he was actually able to work us in several weeks earlier than expected. The work was completed ridiculously fast given the scope and complexity, and the crew treated my property with respect (no trash or junk left behind). Brannon was even able to work some additional add-ons into the project within our budget. The results were breathtaking, and my front yard now brings a smile to my face every time I look at it, which is incredible given how unappealing it was originally. Beyond that project, we hired PP again afterwards for a small fountain installation, and we were also pleased with the turnaround time and quality of the work. After those two projects, I've followed up with Brannon on a handful of occasions for advice (winterizing the fountain, how much mulch to order to freshen up, etc), and he's always been kind enough to follow up quickly and with clear, specific guidance. Now that we are a year+ into this yard transformation , I've seen the plants through all four seasons, and everything has held up really well. No plants have died, which speaks to the quality of the specimens that were selected. In terms of the cost/value, I found PP's contract to be on par with, or better, than the pricing we received in other quotes. Frankly, I was surprised that our project wasn't more expensive, because it seriously looks absolutely amazing. TLDR - Peaceful Ponds is one of, if not the very best contractors I've ever worked with and I would recommend them for pretty much any outdoor/landscaping project. I can't speak highly enough of Brannon and his crew, and I'm currently scheming on new projects for my house that I can hire them for."

"We wanted a backyard that is wheelchair-friendly and low maintenance. Brian and Brannon were immediately full of ideas. They created a beautiful living space with a wide flagstone walkway, a patio, a gurgling waterfall and new landscaping, plus the "foundation" of renovated drainage and irrigation systems. They and their crew were always a delight to work with. We couldn't be more pleased."

"Peaceful Ponds gave us a fantastic backyard. Brian and his guys are wonderful! They built a waterfall, fire pit and an extensive patio and walkway throughout our back yard. Landscaping was also great. Their attention to detail throughout the project was amazing! Very conscientious of keeping things clean. All of Brian's crew was extremely hard workers and always on time. Very professional. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. The project has turned out beautiful and we are enjoying it everyday."

"I have been discussing with Brian ways to fix my existing pond (he did not build the first one). He worked with me for several months until I was ready to move forward. He was always easy to reach and eager to answer my questions. Compared to other pond builders I spoke with, Peaceful Ponds gave me the most value for what I wanted. Once on his schedule, Brian kept me updated and even was able to start early. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were happy with the final result. He came out several times after the build was completed to make sure we were happy and we knew how to work the new system. Brian ended up fixing all my drainage issues and converted a very dirty koi pond into a clear salt pool. It looks great!! I highly recommend him to anyone. Both Brian and his staff are very friendly and very professional. Brian completed our project on time and before a party we were having."
