Always Happy & Cheerful
I am happy to recommend Phil with A Touch of Nature. He designed and installed my pond about 8 years ago and has maintained it ever since. He comes when he says he will and works hard to make everything right. As an added bonus, he is always happy and cheerful.

Impressed with the Service
We selected Phil McMillan from A Touch of Nature to rebuild our waterfall after seeing two beautiful water features he had installed for other people. We are truly delighted with the quality work Phil did for us! Our waterfall and pond look completely natural, rather than constructed, and fit beautifully into their surroundings. We've also been impressed with the service Phil has provided. He is very dependable and does what he says he'll do, when he says he'll do it. We are very pleased to recommend Phil to others interested in installing water features in their yards.
