  TL;DR: George from Bowman Landscapes transformed our old, leaky pond into a stunning backyard oasis. He’s not just a landscaper — he’s a collaborator, teacher, and artist rolled into one. If you want someone who truly cares, listens, and brings your vision to life with passion and precision, George is your guy. Full Review: George of Bowman Landscapes is not your average landscaper. He brings not only deep skill and wisdom to his work but also a genuine passion that’s rare to find. Beyond being incredibly talented, he’s just a joy to collaborate with, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to be around. When we bought our home in 2023, it came with a very large, leaky, and honestly pretty unattractive pond. Over the course of a year, George helped us completely reimagine it. He spent multiple working sessions with us, walking through our ideas, offering smart advice on what we could tackle ourselves, and guiding us on where his expertise would make the biggest impact. Through weeks of hands-on work, part expert, part DIY mentor — George helped us strip the pond down to its bones and rebuild it into something truly special. He knew exactly how much liner, rock, and equipment we’d need, and even helped us source materials at great prices to stay on budget. What really stood out was his spirit of collaboration. When I wanted to move the skimmer, he didn’t hesitate, he problem-solved with me and made it happen. When I shared my idea for a watercress grow bed, he got excited and found a way to bring it to life. When we wanted to integrate large pieces of driftwood, he not only embraced the idea but improved on it in ways I couldn’t have imagined. George’s attention to detail extended beyond the structure itself. He helped us select and place plants, guided us through garden centers to find species that would thrive in each lighting condition, and even gave thoughtful advice about aquatic plants and fish. Now, our pond isn’t just functional, it’s alive, balanced, and breathtakingly beautiful. The waterfalls he built create the most calming soundscape in our yard. It’s become the centerpiece of our outdoor space, tranquil, lush, and full of life. Working with George was an absolute honor. He’s a rare blend of craftsman, artist, and collaborator, someone who cares deeply about both his work and the people he works with. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

  I first contacted George for help with the pond / fountain in our front yard. He came out promptly and took time to thoroughly examine our whole setup, which led him to discover we had a leak in the buried pump system. He scheduled a return visit to do the repair and finished the work quickly and cleanly. I appreciated how communicative he was (via text - which works best for me) about costs and timing. There were no surprises, and George was far more reasonable than other water feature folks! About 8 months later, our backyard fountain stopped working. I texted George to see if he could come take a look. He was willing to do so, but - after a quick phone call with me - diagnosed the problem as a broken pump motor and told me I could fix it myself pretty easily. He texted me the exact pump I needed and told me precisely how to hook it up - no charge at all! I followed his instructions and the new pump is working great! It just proves that George is a class act - someone who truly wants to help his clients, not just run up a big invoice. I will not hesitate to reach out to George for any / all of my water feature needs, going forward - and now I'm considering getting some landscaping help, too!

  We worked with Bowman landscapes on our pond project. George was prompt and cordial from the very first meeting. He came up with a thorough plan for the job. In the matter of a few short weeks he was able to create something truly amazing. His plant selection was deeply thought out and he utilized available onsite rock to Create a truly finished look. Thank you George! one of the best around, hands down. Professional and personable. We could not be happier with the work or the man.

  I removed our aging, cracked filter in hopes it would be an easy replacement. There was settlement and tree roots that warped and cracked the original filter. I had difficulty matching up the new filter with the old liner in the creek (the run between the filter and the waterfall), so we asked George to take a look at it. He was referred to us by the individual that installed the pond over 12 years ago. George approached the problem with an Option A and Option B. Option A was just installing the new filter to line up with the existing creek and existing liner which would have put some undue stress on the new connection (liner to filter). Plan B would be dismantling the creek, installing a new liner and rebuilding the creek. We decided on the total rebuild of the creek with a new liner. So George installed and plumbed the new filter, replaced the old liner and then rebuilt the creek and waterfall. He did a great job as you can see, and he's a great individual to work with. In fact we had him come back and replace the 12+ year old pump on a follow-up job. George is knowledgeable, a good worker, a great individual, and highly recommended by us. Our neighbor is already asking for his help.

  It took me a long time to find George. I needed someone who had the knowledge and skills to help me landscape my 3/4 acre yard. And, as a senior, I needed someone I could trust and rely upon. George checked all the boxes and more. From pruning my Japanese maples to building a new water feature, George has proved to be collaborative, creative and constructive. He's simply the best! Thanks George!
