About us

Owner Steve Sandalis's childhood fascination with tranquil ponds, bubbling mountain streams and design started it all. It was a fascination that would grow over the years, becoming the successful business that today is at the top of this specialized field.

Steve Sandalis

President & CEO
Steve founded Mystic Water Features out of sheer word-of-mouth demand. “My hobby kind of snowballed,” says the passionate pond builder. “Even today, as hard as these projects are, they don't really seem like work.” His biggest satisfaction? “Seeing how thrilled clients are with the final outcome.”
