Why Choose Us?
Qualifications
Helping our customers enjoy the Water Garden Lifestyle.
Vought Water Gardens has worked hard to become the premier pond builder in the region. Although we maintain certification as Alabama Certified Nursery Professionals, Certified Irrigation Contractors, landscape designers, and Certified Storm Water Managers, we have narrowed our practice to just ponds and water gardens. We build ponds of all sizes from 4' x 6' to four acres.
Nationally, Vought Water Gardens is ranked in the top two hundred out of more than sixty thousand contractors and has built projects from California to Florida and Chicago.
Vought Water Gardens was the first in the nation to become certified as Aquascape contractors. Lee Vought does many television shows and teaches numerous seminars across the country to both homeowners and contractors. Vought has numerous articles published in national and regional publications.
In most circles, we're considered to be the source to go to when the project must be done right.
