Brand Overview and Historical Position
Aquascape, Inc. is North America’s leading manufacturer of water gardens, ecosystem ponds, and water features, headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, United States (zip 60174). Founded in 1991 by entrepreneur Greg Wittstock, known throughout the industry as The Pond Guy, the company has grown from a backyard water-feature innovator into a continent-wide water-gardening platform. The company campus, branded as Aqualand, reflects the brand’s long-term commitment to water ecology, natural circulation, and sustainable landscaping, and Aquascape has consistently held a leading position in the contractor-installed water-garden segment of the North American market.
Core Product Matrix and Ecosystem Philosophy
Aquascape’s product range is built around the Ecosystem Pond philosophy, in which plants, fish, rock, gravel, and biological filtration create a balanced micro-ecosystem that keeps maintenance low and water quality naturally stable. The main product lines include Pond Kits, Pondless Waterfalls, Decorative Fountains, Fire and Water Features, Rainwater Harvesting Systems, Mini Patio Ponds, and a full set of supporting components such as Pond Pumps, Filtration systems, Water Feature Lighting, Fish Food, and aquatic plants. The Aquascape Pond Products family has been field-tested for more than thirty years and provides installers and homeowners with an end-to-end material set for designing, building, and maintaining a natural water feature.
Industry Awards and Certifications
Aquascape has earned third-party recognition for corporate growth, sustainable building, and workplace wellness culture.

Channel Network and Sales Model
Aquascape runs a hybrid sales model that combines an authorized distributor and contractor channel with direct support for retailers and DIY homeowners. The Find a Store or Pond Builder tool lists brick-and-mortar stores, online retailers, and professional pond builders across the United States and Canada. Through the Living the Aquascape Lifestyle® campaign, the company promotes the lifestyle and wellness value of backyard water features alongside its physical products. Distribution touches independent garden centers, landscape professionals, large home-improvement chains, and Aquascape’s own digital channels, while the annual Dream Book, gardening blog posts, and social media on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest keep the brand connected to end consumers.
Sustainability Vision and the Aqualand Campus
Since 2008, Aquascape has made environmental sustainability a core corporate strategy, embedding it in product design, supply chain decisions, and the daily operation of the Aqualand campus. The headquarters achieved LEED Silver certification in 2006, integrating natural daylight, indoor water features, and an award-winning workplace wellness program into a single working environment. Aquascape also highlights the therapeutic value of water gardening, framing the act of caring for a backyard pond, waterfall, or fountain as a way to relieve stress and reconnect with nature in a fast-paced modern lifestyle. Through the Aquascape Your Landscape message, the company positions water features as living ecological, artistic, and lifestyle installations for North American backyards.
