A long time ago, before Aquastonia started, we spent our holidays and vacations by lakes or seashore resorts, as many other families. Yet, even with all the sales, discounts, and careful planning, our family of 6 (myself, my wife, and our 4 children) spent between $4,000 and $8,000 on every vacation. On top of everything, quite often we encountered the unavoidable "small" surprises: flight delays, over-chlorinated and over-crowded pools, food poisoning, and just plain bad weather.

After we moved and settled down into our current home, we realized that it had a hidden gem– a small decorative pond in the backyard. We also noticed that most of our backyard activities- games and gatherings -occurred around that pond. One day, we decided to enhance it. We made it bigger, we introduced more fish and plants, and we improved the landscaping around our pond to increase its beauty and serenity.

Years later, we still spend weekends sipping coffee, entertaining our friends and family, watching our children play with fish and frogs, and holding romantic dates with wine and candlelight by our pond.

We’ve come to realize that the real vacation is just a few steps away and isn’t just a vacation, but truly Our Own Family Paradise created by our own hands and vision. That is how Aquastonia was born– with the desire to share this simple discovery and to help others create their own escape to a Backyard Paradise.

Today, we are not just a company that builds and maintains water features in the North and North West suburbs of Chicago, we are the company that helps YOU build your own "blue space" and create a resort lifestyle that benefits you and your family ‘s wellbeing.
