<\/div><\/div><\/span>What People are Saying About the ART of Water<\/p><\/h3><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>We are so enjoying our \u201cnew\u201d yard. We have our evening cocktail on the swing and talk about what\u2019s next. Thanks for giving us this beautiful oasis to enjoy.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote><\/span>Laurie and Denny<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>Our backyard needed a do over. It was all grass lawn, needing so much water that when the drought hit we had to stop watering it (Sadly the yard looked about the same). Verne Pershing and his team designed a beautiful garden that within one year is full of beautiful native California plants. They listened to our thoughts and ideas of what we wanted for our yard, then creatively and professionally put together an amazing plan. They were thoughtful about the ecology of the habitat, both plant and wildlife, as well as our budget. They have a full service of skills. Beyond landscaping, they have built a fenced in vegetable garden and installed sheds with concrete pads. I think my yard looks better then some of the worlds famous gardens.

On the downslope side, they took out the ugly river rock and installed retaining walls and planter areas. There was too much river rock overall, so they removed more rock so that the walkway is just above the water surface. They brought in native plants from Verne\u2019s nursery and planted them around and in the pond and waterfall. Now that it\u2019s spring, the plants have all leafed out and are growing well. The pond area looks much more natural and we\u2019re very happy with the results. We plan to use Verne this year to landscape and plant other areas of our yard.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote><\/span>Wendy<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>\nVerne has an excellent crew that can create professional landscaping with an eye to native plants and environments. They have extensive experience in creating ponds and waterfalls that blend well with their surroundings. Getting him to commit to a hard start time for projects can be a challenge, but once he starts he is very dedicated to finishing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote><\/span>Robert Dillon<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nA Message From The Founder<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Verne Pershing, Founder \u2013 the Art of Water<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThank you for visiting our website.
