About Us |
Pro
Ponds West, a Southern California based distributor of Aquascape
Designs products, was acquired by Terry Morrill and his sons, Trent
and Chad, in October 2005. The Morrill family also own California
Waterscapes and Pacific Pavingstone, which have both been recognized
by Inc. 500 Magazine as “One of America’s Fastest Growing
Companies” for the past two years in a row.
For your convenience Pro Ponds West has two distribution centers. Their newest
center is located in the city of La Crescenta (Los Angeles County). The original
location is in the city of Costa Mesa (Orange County). Both locations are happy
to serve you for all of your Aquascape Designs product needs.
A unique feature of the Los Angeles store is the Pro Ponds West “Inspired
Outdoor Living” showroom. It features three fully functional ponds and
two pondless waterfall displays in a beautiful garden setting. It is the perfect
place to bring your customers so they can experience the “water garden
lifestyle” in person. The store also sells Koi and other fish, beautiful
aquatic plants, decorative outdoor furniture, disappearing garden fountains,
and giftware.

Inc. 500 Corporate Profile
|
Terry started Pacific
Pavingstone with his son Trent in June 1999. They built
the company on three basic principles: 1) Deliver a great product,
2) Never spend more than they make, and 3) reinvest profits
back into the company.
With one crew, a beat up 1973 Chevy, and an assortment of
tools, they started installing paving stone drivewas and patios
out of Terry's garage. Their great products and exceptional
customer service gave way to many referrals and soon they had
more work than they could handle. To accommodate their demand,
they moved into larger facilities, added more crews, and updated
their equipment.

In June, 2001, Terry's second son, Chad, joined them and started California
Waterscapes. Using the same priciniples, he built that
division into one of the larges pond and waterfall installers
in the country. In fact, at the 2004 Inc 500 Awards, they were
approached by Greg Wittstock, owner and founder of Aquascape
Designs and fellow Inc 500 winner, to discuss how the two
organizations could collaborate on future opportunities.
Out of those discussions the Morril's purchased Pro
Ponds West, a Master Aquascape Designs Product Distributor,
in October 2005. Chad now runs Pro Ponds West, which has already
hit the ground running by closing a product distribution deal
with Armstrong Garden Centers, one of the largest nursery chains
in California. In addition to selling Aquascape products, the
garden centers wil also help feed business to their Pacific
Pavingstone and California Waterscapes companies. With this
newest addition to the family companies, the Morrill's are
well on target to chieve the Inc. 500 list for 2006, making
it three years in a row.
