Ryan and his team did an amazing job on our new pond. Very professional and they were there first thing in the morning and worked all day everyday until it was done. We are so happy!

Ryan, Jim and Brad were awesome to work with. We have a < .25-acre retention pond on our property that was an overgrown eye-sore when we moved in and we wanted to clean it up to make it a feature our family could enjoy. After multiple landscapers looked at the project and weren't comfortable scoping it, Ryan came along and immediately had a vision for the project and guided us through every step, willingly coordinating with us and a tree removal company to get the job done. Ryan scoped multiple options at each step and worked with us to make sure we understood each. Last fall Ryan and Jim graded

From our first encounter at the DeVos Place Home and Garden Show through completion of the upgrade to our water feature, Ryan was thoroughly professional and provided consistent confidence that we would receive cost-effective and high quality advice and service. The water feature has performed great. We recommend Platinum Ponds and Landscaping without qualification.

We just want to share with you how wonderful this company was to work with. Our pond needed a makeover and Ryan and his employee were stellar in their work with us. Ryan was attentive to what our needs, made very fine suggestions, kept us informed on how the project was going and enhanced the beauty and function of the pond. We couldn't have enjoyed better service! Thank You to Ryan and his crew for making a difficult job so much better. We recommend this company 100%.

Ryan worked with us on a new paverstone patio with retaining walls and a built in gas grille. He did a computer model of what the finished product would look like and after the work was completed it matched the computer drawing. His crew was very respectful. I have never been around construction workers that in 10 days never swore! The finished product is beautiful !
