Where Artistry Meets Engineering
"The Artist"
Our founder, Ryan Farnol, is a Master Certified Aquascape Contractor® (CAC). Born and raised in West Michigan, Ryan attended Cornerstone University where he earned a degree in Business Administration.
In 2006, Ryan began his landscaping career in the High Rockies of Colorado, honing his skills with natural stone and water features. He is an expert landscape designer and builder, and meticulously oversees each project from design to installation.
Hard work, communication, and innovation are the hallmarks of his business.
"The Engineer"
Jim Andrie serves as our Operations Manager. Now in his tenth year with the company, he continues to excel in the landscape industry.
Jim studied Civil Engineering at Michigan Tech but his interest in landscaping and water features began at a young age when he helped his grandmother rebuild her decorative pond.
