Personal Information
Thanks for your interest in
Streamscapes! We are a family
owned business located in Truckee, California specializing in designing and
installing water features.
Having lived in the area full time for 12 years we are committed to
helping and beautifying our surrounding community. As the chief designer I found a way
to combine my love of the mountains, rock and water with an art design and
landscape background.
Streamscapes is a licensed, bonded and insured
company, the only Aquascape Certified contractor in the North Tahoe
area. I personally oversee
every job, guaranteeing your project is a unique work of art. We look forward to meeting and
doing business with you.
Why a Licensed Contractor?
State law requires anyone who contracts to do landscape work to be licensed
by the Contractors State License Board if the total price of the job
(including labor and materials) is $300 or more.
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public,
are bonded, and must complete four years of journeyman (or higher) level
experience in the same trade to apply for a license. Our license number
is 827174.
Unlicensed persons, typically, are not bonded and may not have liability or
workers' compensation insurance. If you hire an unlicensed person, you may
be financially responsible if injuries, fire, or other property damage
results.

Other Memberships
Streamscapes is a proud
member of N.A.W.G.S., the North American Water
Garden Society. NAWGS is made
up primarily of individual pond owners who love their ponds. It matters not
if the pond is big or small, shallow or deep, inside or outside. In fact,
the NAWGS mission statement says that it’s “An organization of pond
lovers dedicated to the enjoyment, education, promotion, and protection of
the water gardening hobby.” In other words, it’s not about
commerciality, it’s all about individuals … people who simply want to enjoy
the hobby of water gardening.
