In June of 1999, I was at the Del Mar Fair strolling<br>through the garden area with my husband, and we saw the most beautiful pond with a<br>waterfall. We picked up the business card of the pond\u2019s designer\u2014a man by the name of<br>Armando Morales. I wasn\u2019t sure we\u2019d be able to afford it or if our backyard was even large<br>enough, but we called Armando and asked him to come to our home to give us an estimate for<br>a small backyard pond. When Armando came to our house, we told him what we wanted. He<br>picked up a stick and drew on the ground what his vision was. It was far grander than we had<br>envisioned, but his quote was so reasonable that we gave him the go ahead for the project to<br>begin.<br>The end results were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The boarder around<br>the pond has always been filled with beautiful flowers, and the pond itself has had an array of<br>colorful lilies and koi. The pond has given us great joy and has created such a serene<br>atmosphere in our backyard. On warm summer evenings we sit in the backyard enjoying the<br>relaxing sound of the waterfall and the peacefulness of the surroundings. You can also see the<br>pond from inside the house\u2014from our living room, family room, dining room, and even our<br>kitchen, so it gives a peaceful atmosphere to the inside as well as the outside of the house.<br>Armando has been ever faithful through the years in helping us to maintain our pond. About<br>every 4 or 5 months, he comes to clean out the pond and give it a good power washing. We<br>normally clean the pond filters every few weeks. Now that we are in our 70\u2019s, we have recently<br>hired Armando\u2019s son, Maverick, to come once a month to do a light cleaning, including the<br>filters. Maverick has been an outstanding addition to So Cal Waterscapes. Armando and<br>Maverick are both hard workers and always do a great job.<br>If you are looking for someone to design and build a water feature for your home or to<br>maintain an existing water feature, I strongly recommend that you contact Armando Morales at<br>So Cal Waterscapes.&#8221;<br>-Marge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you SoCal Waterscapes!\u00a0 We had hoped to get a water feature on our hillside, but several contractors did not want to deal with the steep slope in our yard.\u00a0 SoCal\u00a0Waterscapes agreed to tackle the project.\u00a0 We never could have imagined the transformation that would take place in our yard.\u00a0 Armando and his crew made magic happen before our eyes.\u00a0 The waterfalls and pond they created are so natural looking, they actually seem to spring from the hillside.\u00a0 Everyone was so great\u00a0to work\u00a0with, so we also had them come back and build a stream bed and a block wall in another part of the yard- also beautiful!
