Dear Mermaid House,

I just had to write and rave about our new pond. I can't tell you how happy we are with it, and as you know, we were just stunned when we first saw the finished product. It really is a work of art, and there is no way we could have come close to doing this ourselves. The imagination and design you put into it, as well as the skill you used in fitting together the rocks so perfectly literally "blew us away." We had debated whether to do this ourselves or hire a professional, and I cannot tell you how glad I am that we decided to hire Mermaid House. When we started, even though we had read all the books, we had no idea how much work or creativity it takes to make a nice pond. We're glad we had it "done right" so that we have something we'll enjoy for years to come. We've already hung a hammock in the shade next to the pond, and now going on a quick "vacation" is as simple as going out in our yard and lying on the hammock listening to the waterfalls and the toads and frogs!!!

Anyway, thanks for everything. Working with Mermaid House was a pleasure, and I'm sure we'll be calling you back soon to install underwater lights and a drip system so we can have a garden next to the pond.

Best Regards,
Sharon
