Aquatica takes great pride in providing a commitment to absolute quality, education, construction and service of water gardens. Rest assured, you will have invested in the highest quality products and services on the market, backed by unsurpassed expertise, customer service and a responsive maintenance team. When you decide to invest in a water garden, you’re not only investing in your home or business, you’re investing in your lifestyle. Aquatica doesn’t advertise that we can build a pond in a day. Quality craftsmanship and pure imagination take time to develop into a beautiful water garden that can stand the test of time and the elements. Aquatica specializes in building water gardens. We don’t claim to install water gardens as just another service offered in addition to building patios, walls, and maintaining lawns. We are simply the most experienced water garden firm in the state.

Our Inspiration.

Aquatica is a collaboration of individuals with a uniquely curated set of skills and unmatched experience in designing & building nature-inspired water features and water gardens. Our inspiration is cultivated not only through experience, our inspiration and our imaginations are awakened in Nature. We set time aside every year to find new inspiration and seek out details in how water interacts with Nature and it’s surroundings. We travel the state of Wisconsin and Michigan to find not only large natural waterfalls and bodies of water, but to see the creek beds interacting with fallen trees, how water rushes around a natural beaching of sand and gravel and how plants thrive in the water itself. We witness how water interacts with nature while studying it’s formations made over hundreds of years and then we bring it home to you. Our commitment to our clients begins before we even meet them…it begins here.
