Upcoming Events
Hello fellow Ponders! I thought it was
about time we started a quarterly news letter.
So here it is, the first of many to come.
Wow! What a great season 2005 has been. Thanks
to all of you this has been one of the busiest
and most exciting seasons yet. Where should I
begin? Well, Flower Show 05 went great! We
met many new friends and were reacquainted with
numerous old pond friends. We hope to see all of
you at Flower Show 06 in which we will be moving
out into the display area. That means a bigger,
better, much more elaborate exhibit for you to
enjoy, so look for us there, well be looking for
you! Spring cleanouts came and went,
construction began and we had tons of fun
building all of your new ponds. We hope that
each of you were as excited about the outcome of
your new water feature as we were. As I stated
2005 was our busiest year yet, Donna and I would
like to personally thank all of you, new and old
pond enthusiasts for choosing Earth Water to
build and service your ponds. In July my
son Joey, whom many of you have met during the
builds, and myself went out to Aquascapes
Pondemonium, an annual pond college held at the
manufacturers headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
After returning from the week long seminar we
were pumped up and full of new ideas which we
were eager to incorporate into the design and
build of each of your new water features. Also,
I am pleased to announce that Earth Water was
ranked as the 58th largest contractor out of the
49,000 Aquascapes contractors throughout the
country! Also, in 05 I received my
certification as a Certified Aquascapes
Contractor (CAC), this is a status that only two
other companies in Rhode Island share.
Dont forget to visit us at the RI Spring
Flower Show February 23rd 26th and again at
the Home Show March 15th 19th

Final Thoughts
Remember, winter is a great time to enjoy
your pond, but dont forget to check your aerator
and heater as these are vital to your pond
tenants health. Again, Donna and I
would like to thank you for making 2005 a great
success and for putting your trust in us to
design and build your pond as well as in the
service of all of your outdoor needs. We hope
you are all enjoying your ponds, as we at Earth
Water enjoy ours, and are as happy as we are
about being part of the fastest growing trend in
the landscape industry today. Enclosed you
will find a complimentary 2006 pond Calendar. I
found this to be very informative and thought you
would benefit from it as well. You can use this
as a tool to mark down and plan out new projects
you would like completed in 2006. Enjoy, and we
will look forward to seeing you in the spring!
Thanks again and always, Happy Pondering!!!
