HAPPY CUSTOMERS

As the owners of California Waterscapes we have been able to double the size of our business by using a few basic principles. Chief among these is the idea of “Exchange in Abundance”- part of a management system we use called Hubbard Management Technology, which has proven to be incredibly successful for our company

Most successful businesses deliver at least what was promised to the customer. When you “Exchange in Abundance” you deliver what was promised - PLUS! You install the job exactly as agreed upon and you go the extra mile to ensure that the customer is completely satisfied - whatever it takes and no questions asked. Our goal is to do whatever it takes to make the customer 100% satisfied. It's not what we think is a nice pond but what the customer thinks is an incredible pond!

CUSTOMER REFERRALS

When I tell people that we are simply the best - we use the best pond system, the best plants, that we have the best crews and that I guarantee 100% satisfaction with their pond, they believe me, because it’s the truth! It is very easy to get this across to the customer if it’s true. If it’s not true, you can only tell the lie so many times before you and your company begins to self destruct.

WE GIVE BACK

We also participate in the local design houses such as the Pasadena Design Showcase. Design houses are done by various organizations throughout the country - usually to raise money for a non-profit organization such as schools, music programs etc. We pull out all the stops when we do our design area at these houses and we get a tremendous reaction and generate quite a bit of work as well as creating goodwill by contributing to a worthy cause.

THE BOTTOM LINE

We make sure each customer is 100% satisfied with our job - we do everything you’ve been promised and more.

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.
• 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 largest 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 achieve the Inc. 500 list for 2006, making it three years in a row.
