Sunset Winds Designs LLC

Pond Magicians We inherited a 30-year-old pond with a house we bought when we moved to Eugene. Raising koi was a dream and the pond was a huge part of the magic of living in this place that we love. It was the bleeding heart of our yard and garden. Not a year later an ice storm brought down a 200-foot tree right on top of the pond. It was the last straw for the pond, now leaking nearly 2000 gallons a day. After dozens of plumbers, contractors, and pond experts weren't able to find sources of the leak we were ready to fill it in with dirt and give up. Ross at Sunset Winds Designs was referred to us by Jim Daichi and he changed everything. He and his crew studied the problem and painstakingly over months jackhammered out the old concrete pond and excavated by hand (our yard is too secluded by stairs and hills to allow heavy machinery) a proper 5000 gallon pond actually deep enough for koi, more than twice as deep. The new shell is gorgeous, with reinforced concrete and rebar mesh and something like 8 coats of sealant and skim coat that will last through the apocalypse. The pond doesn't leak a drop of water now, and he also retrofitted a beautiful waterfall which is also now useable and watertight. Along the way, we got to know Ross and his crew. There aren't enough adjectives, but they are: * Insanely hard working. Not sure I've ever seen anyone work that hard * Meticulous with the tiniest details. Every rock was planned, sometimes 2 days of work just to get a boulder in exactly the perfect aesthetic position, working around weather to get the perfect conditions to pour concrete. Despite major construction, they did it around our new deck without a scratch * True artists with a vision for aesthetic details, hiding plumbing, an eye for symmetry and when to break it, knowledgeable about so many techniques and where to use each * Prolific communicators - constantly letting us know details of the work, always advising us when the work would be done, explaining in detail the methods, reviewing every setback and success. * Honest, kind, extraordinary human beings. It's been a genuine pleasure to meet someone like Ross who is just an admirable person, and his crew follow his lead. Fastforward to now we have the pond we always dreamed of - thanks to Ross and Sunset Winds. Happy to give anyone more detail or show off the pond. Ross can get you our number. Ours was a big job. I'm 100% confident that Ross can handle whatever you need at a fair price with truly expert results. Jeff and Keri Anderson

We have had several projects done around our home by this company. Ross is meticulous in his work. He is a true artist in the work he does and always showed up on time and came prepared to work. We are very happy with the work he does Highly recommend him and his work.

Ross did a beautiful job on our pond and water fall.He made it to our Specific needs. It was deep enough to keep out the raccoons, keeping the raccoons away from our pond fish. There has been no leaking at all to the pond Also did a great job landscaping around the pond. We have been enjoying it ever since. .
