Reviews
Very responsive to our requests, fair pricing, Highly recommend!
Highly recommend this company. Extremely knowledgeable and reliable. Even though we decided to go with an ADU instead of the pool, they still didn’t mind coming by and explain everything in depth about the project. A ++++
James is great the owner of the company Sabby Aquascape. He personally overseeing the work of his people and would give you an update regarding the progress of the project and time frame for the completion. He is decent and knowledgeable and would also go beyond his work to assist me in other things. would update later on some photos of the project that we did.
James was incredible and went above and beyond to get our pool heater up and running in time for a backyard party. He was so knowledgeable and so helpful and such a pleasure to work with. Can’t recommend him and his work highly enough!

I hired Sabby Aquascapes Design Group for a front yard project that included concrete work, drainage, irrigation, and low-voltage lighting. Unfortunately, my experience required significant follow-up, additional cost, and involvement of other contractors to complete and correct the work. Throughout the project, there were repeated inconsistencies between what was discussed, what was written, and what was ultimately delivered. Items that were initially described as part of the scope were later presented as not included, while at the same time certain work was described as “complete” but later required additional fixes. In particular, irrigation and lighting components did not function as expected and required further work after the contractor left the project. I had to bring in separate licensed professionals to troubleshoot and correct these issues, including addressing problems with the lighting setup and irrigation system. The project timeline also became inconsistent toward the end. Work that was expected to be completed by a specific date was delayed, despite prior discussions and known scheduling constraints on my end. As a result, I had to proceed with other contractors to complete the remaining work in order to avoid further delays. Documentation and transparency were also a concern. The contract included multiple permit-related charges, but I only received documentation for one despite requesting it several times. I also received a California Preliminary 20-Day Notice from a material supplier associated with the project, which required additional follow-up on my end to ensure proper lien protection. Communication became increasingly difficult as the project progressed. There were frequent long messages and shifting explanations of what was included versus not included, along with continued payment requests while outstanding items were still being addressed. Overall, this project required significantly more time, cost, and oversight than expected. Based on my experience, I would not hire this contractor again. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this contractor: * Clearly define all scope and responsibilities in writing * Confirm all materials and components being used (for all the work) * Require documentation for all permits upfront * Ensure lien releases from all subcontractors and suppliers Taking these steps may help avoid the type of issues I encountered.
Great work Sabby + team. They took on our whole project from acquiring the permits to filling in the pool and getting inspection sign off. Hassle free and fantastic price! Thanks Sabby
I just started a project with the company and so far everything is great, very professional, knowledgeable, responsive. Very competitive pricing quick progress and genuine concern for my situation. Very honest, dependable, helpful and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
James is a pro who fully knows his business. The job was to demo an existing water feature to allow us to recapture this area in our backyard. James provided the most reasonable estimate and started the work quickly. While the job turned out to be harder than expected James stood by his original estimate and stayed the course with a very positive attitude until the work was completed.
James was the best choice for the job. We communicated well and I felt I could trust him. He didn't disappoint and he was by far the best price.
I made an appointment for an estimate, and they never showed up. I called to find out if they were coming, and got a text that I would be called back in a few minutes. That never happened. And then sent another message asking if they were coming that day or not. No response. I then messaged the next day, no response. Already a bad feeling, seems extremely unprofessional.
As a recently new fish hobbyist and already having a tank at my clinic... I was looking for a real nice one for my home.. I contacted a few guys off here unfortunately I wasn’t happy with there enthusiasm until I met with James!! Off the bat what stood out was he was more excited then me he’s team custom designed and produced simply a piece of art!!! With state of the art equipment.... He’s commitment and hard work was second to none!! I felt very comfortable in trusting his opinion and let him run with his vision!! From start to finish!!! He’s wealth of knowledge and experience is on a another level!! And I couldn’t be happier!! Always a call away!! Thank you Sabby Aquascapes!!!
He is a fraud - keep away. All the people he has cheated are banding together to take him to court.
I recently purchased a house with a pond that was in decay. This is where I did my research; looking for the most qualified person to bring my pond to life. The reason I went with James is due to his great customer service. He came out to my home, listened to my ideas and gave me a blueprint of what I needed to get the pond going. He quickly drafted a clean, detailed invoice showing exactly what he will do to ensure that there aren't any hidden charges. To my suprise James' bid is very competitive and affordable. My pond did take longer than expected because of the terrible shape it was in. Futhermore James always communicates daily on what he will be doing before he comes over. Because he wants to make sure his customers are happy, he threw in something extra for me which I am much appreciated. Attached is the picture of what he did for my pond. It started off as a stinky moat to a hotel like swimming pool pond.
Great job was able to diagnose the problem
He was very professional and knowledgeable I would definitely use his services again
Our concrete fountain needed to be re-located and a new pump installed. The Sea Store handled the project well and at a reasonable cost.
Great price for a beautiful fountain.
