We are drawn to water. It nourishes. It relaxes. And man does it sound cool running over rocks on it's way to collecting pool nearby. Maybe your back yard. Maybe it anchors a grand entrance to an exclusive neighborhood or welcomes eager golfers to the clubhouse. Or better yet, reflects a smile from a wide-eyed kid at a zoo exhibit. Regardless, water is a commodity. At Aquatic Gardens, water is at the heart of everything we do. From roaring to glass-like stillness, we also love what water can do for you.
Chuck Thomas, owner of Aquatic Gardnes, began his aquatic career almost 40 years ago. First in intensive aquaculture management along with designing and building fish hatcheries. He later spent eight years in commercial construction involved in every department from estimating to a field superintendent of mulita-million dollar projects. He combined these two professions in 1987 by opening Aquatic Gardens with the desire to utilize both professions to create the ultimate aquatic design/build company.
