“Our waterfall is absolutely one of the best upgrades we have done to our back yard! The waterfall is absolutely beautiful. Lee’s crew worked hard all day long. They were professional, courteous and above all really talented. We are absolutely thrilled with the results. Mr. Santos was honest and fair and we felt the pricing was reasonable. To hear the water spilling over into the pool makes you feel like you’ve been transported to some paradise. The only problem I have is that I can’t keep my eyes off of the waterfall! This is a class act operation; we highly recommend Lee Santos and his crew.”

Matthew & Jennifer – Ocean County

“We love our waterfall! We picked out the style from the website and were able to make some changes so it’s exactly what we wanted. Putting in a new pool is a big project that can be stressful trying to coordinate the different vendors and making sure they deliver what they promise. Lee Santos was the best. He came on the scheduled day, the workmanship was excellent and they cleaned up when they were done.”

“Again I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the waterfall. Your crew was a pleasure to watch as they fitted each boulder into place, shaping and aligning as they worked so diligently. I have attached two pictures of the falls at night with the backlighting, it was definitely a good decision to have added the lighting, as it just adds so much to evening landscaping.”
