Finding an Installer
Choose from any of fifty states, and notice if the installer is certified or not. We recommend that installers be certified for the best, most consistent results.

What is a "Certified" Installer? Why should one use a certified installer?

Why Dr. Johnson Cares

What's Customary Pricing On An Aquascape Pond? Because they are more direct representatives of ADI's products and services, CAC's avoid gouging. Certified installers depend on your references, and so fair and relatively standardized compensation for a good pond is typical, while they eschew gouging.

NAWGS has a lot of ideals, so let me shoot you straight on the most important one. NAWGS stands to supplement as an equal, the premier water gardening societies and possibly even "koi" organizations in the USA and elsewhere. The reason is that they have incalculable reach through various publications and their heart is truly in the right place.Some of the board members who will provide content and steering for this organization include Steve Stroupe, Dr. Erik Johnson and others. Right now, NAWGS is a fledgling organization which will become a great help to hobbyists of the watergardening 'bent', and later to the fish keepers, you should join this club and take advantage of the educational and informative opportunities that NAWGS affords.In all probability, some folks (oleaginous bootlicks in small-minded organizations) will try to make a NAWGS membership into an "either or" situation, but that would be patently wrong. It's perfectly okay to be a member of Mid Atlantic Koi Club and simultaneously add on to your knowledgebase with the publications of Associated Koi Clubs of America. It's okay to be a member of the above two clubs and then join two or three state clubs in order to get their newsletters. The more information and interaction the better. Joining another club is not an ethical malfeasance, nor does it represent any kind of "break" with your existing organizations.
