About
9 rating across dozens of reviews. Led by Andrew, an Aquascape-certified builder, the team designs and constructs koi ponds, pondless waterfalls, multi-level water features, recreational ponds with natural filtration, and even specialty builds like turtle ponds. Their service area extends well beyond Georgetown, with the crew sometimes staying in Airbnbs to complete projects for clients hours away.
What stands out in review after review is Andrew's artistic eye for naturalistic stone placement and his attention to the fine details — the way rocks are arranged, how waterfalls cascade across multiple levels, and how the finished product blends seamlessly into existing landscapes. One customer described a rec pond with natural stone filtration built with impressive speed and craftsmanship. Another raved about a waterscape that looked completely natural in a small backyard.
A couple who waited nearly 35 years for their dream water feature said the finished product exceeded what they had imagined. Beyond installation, River Bed Builders offers ongoing pond maintenance services. One longtime pond owner called their cleaning service the best they'd experienced in 20 years and immediately signed up for monthly maintenance.
Others who inherited ponds with home purchases found Andrew's team invaluable for education and upkeep. The company handles seasonal tasks like installing protective netting over ponds and streams, troubleshooting filtration issues, and keeping existing water features running properly. Andrew also serves as a resource for pond plants and fish, helping customers stock and landscape their new features.
Projects consistently come in on time and at or under the quoted price. For anyone in southern Indiana or the surrounding region looking to add a koi pond, waterfall, or water feature to their property, River Bed Builders delivers the kind of craftsmanship and professionalism that turns backyard dreams into reality.

Customer reviews
“Crew came as promised, put up netting over pond and streams. Very professional will continue with their service.”
— Richard Guy5.0an hour ago“Andrew was awesome to deal with for my continued pond maintenance that his company installed keeping me running and functioning properly”
— Ed Boze5.0Edited 3 weeks ago“Using River Bed for our outdoor water feature was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Andrew and his team laid out the pond and expectations and followed through exceptionally. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product. There were no surprises with the finished pond. It was finished on time, under budget and exceeding expectations. Thanks Andrew and your team!!”
— David Jolley5.0a month ago“Riverbed Builders has been my saving grace. I purchased a home that had a pond. Not knowing anything about a pond, they were there to teach me and to take care of my pond. In a time I couldn't take care of my pond, due to medical issues. They were there again to help me.

— Robin Marshall5.0a month ago“We had a spot where we had removed an above ground pool and needed something to replace it. My wife had heard about Aqua Scape certified builders but the nearest ones she could find were almost two hours away. She didn't think any of them would be interested in coming that far. We found out about River Bed Builders being in our area doing a project just by chance. We contacted Andrew and he came over, looked over our site and listened to my wife's ideas of what she envisioned. He came up with a plan and we agreed to the price. He gave us a schedule and even started a little sooner than he thought. Any construction project has messiness built into it but they went above and beyond to minimize the impact on our yard. While we still have to do our part and finish the landscaping around our water feature we were completely blown away by how it turned out and the foundation Andrew and his crew provided for our little garden area! We highly recommend them if you need a water feature for your yard.”
— Kenneth Swartzentruber5.02 months ago“Great experience. Highly recommended!!”
— Philip Bennett5.02 months ago“Andrew, I could tell from the get-go, is a perfectionist who enjoys designing, creating and building outdoor features. From meeting, listening, designing and then building our new outdoor swing set, I know he cared for the details: the roughness/smoothness of the lumber mattered! He truly cared and was extremely easy to work and communicate with. I’m really very pleased with our experience!”
— Nancy Howell5.03 months ago“The contractors completed several jobs at our property including shade cover for our patio, a water feature, repairing and building new retaining walls, and rebuilding our pond. They worked closely with us to make sure we approved of their work as it progressed. All work was completed in a professional and timely fashion. When fininshed, they evened out the ground and put out grass seed. We were very pleased with the quality of their work and would definitely use their services in the future. We are happy to give a strong recommendation for others to use them for similar work.”
— Terrell Zollinger5.03 months ago“Built a rec pond complete with natural filtration and stone - amazing workmanship, speed, professionalism, team selection and rates. I'm beyond impressed and would absolutely recommend River Bed Builders for pond work in their service range.”
— Lock Johnson5.05 months ago“Andrew and his crew are amazing! Their work was top notch. They were timely, professional and very easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone!”
