I've been going to A Piece of Paradise for years for my small pond. Last year I finally had them install my dream pond. All the staff has been extremely helpful with all my pond questions. Dave responds to all my email questions within 24 hours.

Pulled up to A Piece of Paradise and the ponds were set up so nicely outside, employees are around a lot if you have any questions about anything. Staff always keeps the place clean, and always stocked up on any items you are looking for. Very nicely organized with all their items too. A couple of the employees are very well educated with water garden & fish ponds, landscape lighting and waterfalls for ponds/pools I went to buy food that I never bought before for my koi fish and I will definitely be going back to buy more, the employees and business have great positivity and are very welcoming. The prices are good as well!
