Cape Fear Water Gardens is committed to excellence in service and quality.   We design and build beautiful, naturally balanced, low maintenance, custom water features that in return provide our customers with the new lifestyle of backyard living.

Drew Thorndyke, Owner/General Manager

Drew Thorndyke attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and received his degree in Geology.  He has hiked countless mountain streams, mapping exposed rock formations in various  locations along the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

Drew uses his detailed knowledge of earth materials and processes in order to replicate natural water features.  His designs appear as if water has naturally eroded away the earth and exposed rocks that have been in place for thousands of years. 

Drew is extremely passionate about building water features.  For him they provide the perfect combination of Art and Science.  He is committed to sharing his love for ponds and the lifestyle of backyard living that allows our customers to sit back, relax and forget the stresses of everyday life.
