This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.
When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.

Fountain vs. pondless vs. pond — different scope
Fountains: self-contained basin, single pump — repair usually pump, jet, or liner. Pondless waterfalls: buried basin under gravel, pump vault — often involves access dig. Ponds and swim ponds: full ecosystem with biological filtration — scope includes filter media, plant zones, aerator. AE's proposal calls out which category yours is and what changes.
