As a college student Chris Thompson planned to become a teacher but a love for the great outdoors called him out of the classroom and into a career as a professional pond builder. Chris built his very first pond in his own backyard in 2005. Building that backyard pond ignited a passion for designing, installing, and maintaining water gardens and a business was born. Today, Just Add Water has built over 200 custom water gardens in Iowa, ranging from landscape fountains and Pondless waterfalls to ecosystem ponds and advanced water feature systems. Join Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy as he and Chris take a walk down memory lane and discuss what it takes for pond builders to be successful. Spoiler Alert: it’s all about knowing your numbers and building relationships!
