Unfortunately, Mr. Edward, the owner of Ponderrific Adventures gave a 2-star review for my company, Kat's K9s (in Colorado). We have never done business together because he was too impatient to resolve his technical issues with my willing staff. In fact, I pointed out that my company offers a service that is widely available in the state of Colorado, and he can choose from any of them. What makes me different is that I do things on a very, very small scale from my house. I cater to dogs who are anxious or in need of a smaller environment with less dogs. Simply put, I do things my way. The company is, "Kat's K9s" for a reason. Next, the phone number associated with my business belongs to me and has dual purpose. Therefore, I will answer when I am able. I digress. My intention here is to return the favor since he did try to advertise his services to me during our initial phone conversion and via email (prior to my old dog being rushed to the vet, unbeknownst to any of us). I would have loved to have an opportunity to receive services from this company, but based on the interactions I have had with Mr. Edward, I am less likely. To clarify, Mr. Edward had a polite tone and gave me the impression that he was very understanding during our initial phone call. However, when he was unable to reach me due to my personal emergency and calling multiple times, his disrespect was clear. Mr. Edward caught me at a vulnerable time when I could not get to my phone. Any pet owner interested in my services should (and has) understand this scenario. Honestly, this could've all been resolved, had he gone through the proper channels to contact my staff as instructed. Anyway, due to this experience with the owner, I'm no longer inclined to consider this company for my landscaping or backyard water feature needs at any point in the future. I'm sure there are many landscapers to choose from in my area, and his company is probably as good as it looks (truly, it looks amazing). But, one of the contributing factors to choosing a company is how they align with my values. Ponderrific Adventures missed the mark. read more

Ponderiffic was terrific! Ed and Ray, his foreman, were delightful to work with. Our pond hadn't been cleaned out in over a decade. We have over 50 fish and didn't loose any of them throughout the process of draining, cleaning and refilling over 10,000 gallons. Even though the job went over the allotted time, Ed was very reasonable and understanding. Both were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Their focus was on having a satisfied client, and we are! read more

Ed answered my call when I had a fountain issue on a Friday afternoon. He sent Justin out on Saturday morning to fix the issue and he went above and beyond . Justin was so knowledgeable and helpful what a professional. We absolutely will not hesitate to use them for our needs but will highly recommend them to others. I can't say enough about their service. read more

Gave a free estimate, wonderful word-of-mouth rave reviews, professional, clean and courteous. He provided references. Answered the phone late on a weekend and helped with free advice that I used to troubleshoot issues before determining if their services were needed or not. Would definitely use again, as many other customers have done in the past. This company has a 16-year history of great work, and that is good enough for me. read more

I contacted Ponderiffic for an estimate on 2 jobs. I kept getting put off on just getting them out to do an estimate. A week later I finally just told them I hired someone else. They just didn't seem like they wanted the job. No since of urgency to even get an estimate done. read more

Ponderrific is terrific! Ed and his crew came out on short notice just before Easter to repair our basalt fountain so I could have it up and running for Easter brunch in our backyard. They were kind, professional, and cleaned everything up for me. Ed also took a look at another area of my yard where I plan on having him install another water feature and was very helpful in explaining how the process would go. I'm looking forward to have them work on my future project and would highly recommend Ponderrific to everyone who is looking for a great landscaping and water feature company! read more

On behalf of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Gorgonio Pass, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ed Brown and Ponderiffic Adventures for their generous support of our 3rd Annual Duck Derby. Ed and his company donated a custom water feature valued at over $3,500 as our Grand Prize to our 3rd Annual Quickest Quacker Duck Derby. I am sure the winner of this prize will be thrilled with the beauty and peaceful aspect this water feature will add to their yard. This is the second time that Ed and Ponderiffic Adventures have supported our organization. As we worked to form our organization and raise the necessary funds to start serving children in our community, Ed and his team approached us with an awesome fundraising idea. They built a beautiful water feature in our local Stater Bros. in Beaumont and allowed us to sell raffle tickets for those who were interested in winning this amazing opportunity. Needless to say, we sold a large number of tickets and the winner was absolutely ecstatic with the outcome. We at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the San Gorgonio Pass would recommend that you seriously consider Ed and his team when you are thinking about upgrading your yard and are looking for an artistic addition. When considering using any type of business, one of the things that I always consider is what that business does to support their local community. Ed Brown and Ponderiffic Adventures are definitely an example of paying it forward and being a true partner in the community. read more

A few months back, my mom won a bubbling urn that was generously donated by Ed and his business to a charity benefitting The Boys and Girls Club. My mom decided she wanted to gift the beautiful urn to my husband and I. We called Ed and he answered right away, was friendly and very helpful. On the day before installation They came to see the area and make a plan. The next morning two workers showed up. They were friendly and hardworking. By the afternoon we had a beautiful bubbling urn. Even though Ed wasn't there to help with the install, he came a few hours later to check on the work. He made sure everything was in working order, fixed a drip on our spigot, and informed us on how to care for our new fountain. Even though we were not paying customers, he still treated us as if we were and made sure we were satisfied with everything. We love our new bubbling urn! I highly recommend using PONDerrific Adventures for all of your pond and fountain needs! read more

Ed was highly informed, detail oriented and had wonderful insight on my project as we are a skilled nursing facility. He was able to come in and consult on extremely short notice, despite a full schedule. Ed was highly informed and detail oriented and had wonderful insight on my project. He was able to come in and consult on extremely short notice and his crew members were very professional and talented as well. When first meeting Ed it felt like we were lifelong friends which was a major deciding factor in choosing his company over the other companies we got quotes from. Our patients have regained joy in relaxing outside and watching the pond. Some of them even take part in ensuring it stays clean and functioning. We are now life long customers. read more

We needed someone to come out for a water feature that had been ignored for 5-6 months. After a calling almost everybody we tried Ponderiffic. They came out, gave us an estimate and said they would be out later that week. The crew gave us hope and they were true to their word. They took a real mess, cleaned it up and gave us a clean and running water feature. We couldn't be happier. read more

Ponderiffic Adventures installed a large lily pond with a bubbling urn in my back yard last year. I found Ed to be honest, very helpful, respectful and extremely knowledgeable. He and his men did a superb job; the pond is beautiful and has greatly enhanced my property. A few months after the installation, a faulty pump issue was promptly resolved to my complete satisfaction. The reason for my 4 star review (rather than 5 stars) is that the job took longer than originally estimated. Other than that, it was a perfectly executed project. Thank you, Ponderiffic Adventures, for a job well done!! read more

Ed and his team are absolutely amazing!! I work for Gardenworks For Kids in Yucaipa and Ed created a beautiful pond for our garden! It has added so much more appeal to that area of our garden. Ed is great at communicating and his team was so friendly and helpful. They knew exactly what they were doing and how to create the perfect pond for us. We are a nonprofit children's learning garden and Ed so generously donated his time, crew, talents and materials to come out and do this to help us! Their work is amazing, we couldn't believe that this company who does such amazing, top notch, quality work decided to create a space for us! Ponds are great additions to homes, businesses, gardens, etc. And there are some great benefits to having a pond, so if you are looking for an awesome pond , waterfall and landscaping design, I would most definitely choose Ed and his crew! Their work ethic, creativity and love for what they do is evident in every project they are a part of. Honest, reliable, and high quality is how I would describe this company. We cannot thank them enough for the amazing job they did in the garden!!!! read more

Ponderiffic did a misting system in my backyard, very professional and great work. Ed did a great job and the communication was awesome. Love my system. Been using it daily. read more

I just can't say enough good things about Ed and his team at Ponderiffic Adventures! It was such a blessing for us to have found them, and we'll definitely be using them again for any type of pond and / or landscape work that we do! My wife and I have a 1.5 year old son, who has recently become enthralled with water and fish. We hired Ed and his team at Ponderiffic Adventures to do a really complex conversion project to turn an unused fountain into a living pond. Actually, at first, we weren't sure exactly what we wanted to do, we just knew that we wanted to be able to get fish into fountain. Ed came over to our home in Rancho Cucamonga and at no cost to us came up with several amazing design suggestions that articulated exactly what we wanted to do. Our project involved modifying our fountain to include a variety of new equipment that would allow for the pond conversion, and at each step along the way, Ed's work, recommendations, precision, and attention to details were striking and so appreciated by our family. In order to convert the fountain and NOT have to completely rebuild the facility, Ed came up with a brilliant concept to make an imperceptible modification to the fountain which allowed for all of the filtration / pump equipment to be installed in a blended-in and out-of-the-way manner. When the overall project was complete, not only did the fountain-to-pond conversion turn out better than I could have ever hoped, in meeting Ed, we found a person who I can say with absolute certainty that I trust. You get a sense about a person when they work at your home, and I can say truly that Ed is one of a kind - a contractor who at each step of the project looked out for my best interests, and who delivered a product that exceeded my expectations at a fair and reasonable price. I would recommend Ed to anyone looking to have any type of pond / fountain / landscape work done, he and his team were simply amazing! read more

Ponderiffic re did my pond to perfection! Awesome work from ed and the guys. Best in prices and honest with good quality work. Highly recommended.... read more

We now have the pond we always dreamed of! Ed was great at working with our vision and made it happen! Ed was very responsive during the entire process and provided much needed information along the way. It is funny how he pointed out during the construction of the pond exactly where the fish would like to feed. He was spot on. It is like he has been so involved with Koi that he can think like them. The lights, pump, filtration system and uv lighting are all top notch. The only problem I have with this pond is that nothing else is getting done around my house since we now sit in the yard all of the time. Who needs a vacation. I have my beautiful pond. read more

Ed and his crew were very professional, courteous and they remodeled my pond. They did a great job. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I have worked with Ponderiffic on a few different projects and I can't say enough about his patience with my demands.

Thank you Ed and Crew for the beautiful pondless waterfall. I'd like to let others interested in your work know that the project came in below bid and on time (even though you all had to work until 8pm the last day to get it done) as agreed. The waterfall is a work of art and I can't imagine how it could be better. We were invited to help with rock and plant selection and all our requests were considered, discussed and completed, even change additional work. All work was done professionally, the surrounding area protected and completely cleaned up every evening. We love our waterfall and would have Ponderiffic Adventures back anytime! Thanks again. read more

I have had the pleasure of using Ponderiffic Adventures three times. The first project was a dilapidated old spa that Ed turned into a beautiful pond. It is an exceptional little pond that never gave me any problems. The second time, Ponderiffic came out to do some general maintenance on the pond before the new owners took possession of my house. Again fast, reliable, professional and did an exceptional job. The third time I worked with Ed it was to remediate a very large rather sludgy pond in my new home. My new pond was beautiful but you could not see the fish it was so green. Ed came out and came up with a plan to get rid of the green, increase the filtering capacity and even save electricity. The pond is so clear now that you can even see the bottom. Ed is a very knowledgable contractor who truly understands the biology of pond ecosystems and cares about building ponds that are good for the Environment. I love Ponderiffic and would trust no one else with my beautiful pond! He is very energetic and excited about every pond he builds. His enthusiasm is infectious, he will get you hooked on Ponds. I would recommend Ponderiffic without hesitation. read more

For my pond, I knew where I wanted it, I knew I wanted at least 3 cascades in the waterfall, and I knew I wanted to features a large garden art my sister created. The rest, I left up to Ed and, wow, he did not disappoint. His imagination and creativity produced a stunningly beautiful pond and waterfall that exceeded my expectation. Every stone was hand picked and placed multiple times until Ed found the perfect location that produced the most natural look or the most vibrant cascade. His attention to detail and the quality produced by his team is evident in the finished product. Simply stunning. read more
