I and my family regret doing business with Vortex Water Features aka Ron De George. He did beautiful stone work for half our pond carefully selecting the rocks and making it truly amazing looking. Then he double booked ponds got over his head. The rest of the pond you can see pond liner exposed. The pond now can not be completely filled and he will not show up to fix what he left undone. The waterfall feature should be water fail it leaks water when it runs leaving me to run a side filter which was not supposed to be needed. Overall the pond was over 20% his projected cost which I was fine with but unfinished work and pond that doesn't hold water is not. Upon finishing his last words before not showing up again was sorry it's not my best work. Owning your own business should be taking care of your customers and doing what they want. He did the pond the way he wanted and screwed it up. Hopefully no one else falls into the same issues with Ron Degeorge.

Ron designed and built a waterfall and shallow pond for us about 6 years ago, and it has been a wonderful addition to our habitat garden. It has not been completely without issues (mostly to do with invasive plants we allowed to grow) but Ron has always been responsive and helpful in diagnosing and fixing a problem. He also successfully transplanted an azalea to make way for the pond, and beautifully pruned a japanese maple that overhangs it. We will soon ask him back to consult about a potential leak (?).

My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Ron! We first started working with him 15 years ago. He created a beautiful, very natural looking, two-level pond and waterfall. There is nothing we love more than to spend time by “Ron’s pond”. We so appreciate the fact that the pond has a natural gravel filter system, which means that the water stays clear and the pond doesn’t need cleaning. Over the years when we have had questions or minor issues, Ron has always been really good about coming over and giving us advice and/or doing some tweaking himself. He wants his clients to be happy. Ron also has helped us with landscaping around the pond and in our overall garden. He has an amazing design sense and cares deeply about his work.
