Meet Our Team
Chad Morrill
Owner & Founder | Water Feature Designer and Salesman
Chad has been passionate about ponds his whole life, after building one in his own yard as a child, then later an improved pond at his current home for his children to interact with. In 1998 Chad stumbled upon a catalog in the mail of the “Aquascape Ecosystem Pond System”. Already being involved in the construction industry, Chad was excited to see a chemical free ecosystem on the market that could keep water clear by mimicking mother nature. California Waterscapes was born that this was the ticket to not only start a whole company around building ponds and waterfalls the natural way, but to give back to the local environment, provide life and beauty to homeowners in Southern California.

What makes our company different?
We have over 18 years experience as a leading company in the industry to guide us through any obstacle we may face. We have been on the forefront of cutting-edge technology, not in the art of installing ponds, but the science behind a successful and balanced ecosystem. We are looked at as leaders in the industry and even run workshops to teach other contractors and homeowners how to build and maintain ponds successfully.
From large scale lakes to 40” cliffside waterfalls, we have seen it all and conquered the most extreme terrain to successfully turn dreams into realities day after day.
Getting the job done right!
Hiring a contractor that has all the proper certifications and insurance is extremely important. Unlicensed construction happens frequently and hiring these contractors puts you and the contractor at risk for lawsuits and penalties. Our clients are our priority, we don’t find loop holes that would jeopardize you or your home.
California Waterscapes is a fully Certified, Licensed and Insured General Contractor. We have proof of Worker’s Compensation and General Liability Insurance.
Our crews have gone through extensive and thorough training to meet our high standards for professionally installing water features. We follow all of California State Laws and more to ensure you are covered.
Pond design is an ART
The hundreds of ponds we have installed over the years are designed to appear and operate identically to natural bodies of water. We use only natural rock and gravel as opposed to concrete or fiberglass. We use flexible liners and materials to give us ability to create a completely custom design and to withstand time and the famous California Earthquake. As a result, our ecosystem ponds function and LAST a lifetime.
