    Great selection of services. From pond, landscape, and aquarium install to seasonal maintenance, Ruff Waters has their name on a lot of projects in Omaha. I've interacted with a lot of their staff and have always felt respected and welcome. Great group to work with as they are willing to help you along the way (for those that don't know what they want) as well as execute to perfection (for those that know exactly what they want).

    I love this place. Scott Ruff is very knowledgeable and has short wait times to answer any questions I have for him. This is not a retail store, so you have to check with him to make sure someone is there.

    I had initially purchased my tank and fish from another place. All of them became sick just a couple of weeks later. I called Ruff Waters, and they were out the next day. Scott, took them to his store and put them in the hospital tank and nursed them back to health, and turned my tank into a healthy enviroment for the fish, before they returned. We also worked together and redesigned my tank. I can't believe how well the tank turned out.You can't even tell that it's the same tank! All of the fish are healthy and happy! I am so glad that I found them. They are the most knowledgeable and customer friendly staff that I have ever worked with.From know on all of my buisness for my fish, future tanks and all of my fish related needs will all be with them. Scott, and Justin and great!!

    Huerter Orthodontics has had Ruff Waters take care of our tank for many, many years and we love them! We want to give a shout out to Emma...she personally takes care of our tank and does a fantastic job! You can really tell she loves our tank and all the critters in it and takes such good care of them all! Thank you Emma and thank you Ruff Waters!

    Scott is a professional. He knows what he's talking about. I have used him on numerous properties and visitor that sees his work are amazed. I have used him on my own personal pond when I get stumped. He can do whatever you need no matter how small or large. I have used other pond, aquarium and fountain contractors in the past 25 years and Scott is by far the best. You won't go wrong by using him. Thanks Scott and your crews for all you have done.

  • 1/5 Mr X. 5 years ago on Google
    Not impressed with service to my salt water aquarium, in 5 months time they took it from a beautiful tank to almost me loosing 2/3of my corals, and upon further investigation used the wrong product. Also supposed tech said what ever is the cheapest at the time they get as far as product, they may care for big client/tanks but not your everyday average joe at home, and owner did not want to hear my issues or complaints, "said I was a liar but i am on to very great new service company that has turned my tank around and now almost back to 100%... So if I could make no stars I would.

    I get great service monthly from Emma. She cleans my 29 gallon tank. She explains exactly what she is doing. Each step she takes so I understand the reasoning behind each step she takes. She did my landscaping. Gives me ideas on what I can do to improve my tanks life f.or I would recommend this company, for all your tanks needs. Cleaning, supplies, plants.

    We bought a house and our yard needed more work than we could handle. The Ruff Waters landscaping crew cleared old flower beds, defined an edge around flower beds, laid some sod, and put down 11 yards of mulch across 2 days. They did great work at a competitive price. The crew was very friendly. There were a few rolls of sod left over that they put down in some smaller blank spots. The company is a good combination of personal service but with many years of professional experience. We plan to use them in the future for yard projects.

    We use Ruff Waters for our fish tank located in our office. I thoroughly enjoy working with this company because they show up when they say they will, CJ and Alex are super responsive and patiently answer all my questions! The customer service is outstanding and both the owner and my sales representative are always available when and if I need them. I highly recommend these guys for your fish tank needs!

    I hired this company to replace our pump. After he left, we had bigger problems. The water feature would no longer hold water. After talking with him, he said it was no longer his problem. Beware of people that do not stand behind their work

    Derek and Ryan do an amazing job on our tank each week. They're able to inform us what food, plants, other fish can go together. It's always really clean and cared for. We constantly get complimented on how amazing and our fish look at work! Thanks Ruff Waters!

  • 5/5 Allie R. 2 years ago on Google
    CJ and Ryan have taken our fish tank to the next level. We are receiving so many compliments from restaurant guests on how clean & vibrant it has become. I am thankful to have these two to dedicate and advocate for us. Thank you!

    Had my pond cleaned by Ruff Waters. The pond is clean, fish all made it (even the frog). They were very careful of my wife's plants. What more could ask.

  • 5/5 Betsy J. 2 years ago on Google
    CJ and Shammy were amazingly knowledgeable on my fish tank but also were pleasurable and funny teaching me random animal facts throughout the time they were here. Perfect experience!

    Ruff Waters is an amazing business! They’ve grown a lot over the past year and are more dedicated than ever to provide an over the top customer experience for each and every account they manage. They take pride in managing their ponds and tanks and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is satisfied. The staff is knowledgeable on their information and I value that in a business. Ryan has been there for a year but his knowledge and passion puts him above the rest! I would definitely recommend Ruff Waters to anyone interested in a pond or tank!

    Our pond had a water loss issue and was pretty overgrown Ruff Waters came out did a through inspection laying out what they thought were the main issues. Then sent a detailed estimate, they showed up when they said they would be there, they did the work we agreed to in the time frame they said. The work they did took care of our issues fixed our water loss and the pond now looks as good as it did when it was new. The bill was what the estimate said, so to us when a contractor shows up does what they say they will do gets it done to your expectations of time and quality then bills your what they said they would I dont know it gets any better than that. Thank you Ruff Waters.

    We have a fish tank at our office and are a little obsessive about it. I'm part of the team that feeds the fish and keeps an eye on things. Ryan is awesome to work with. Always does a great job and is very patient with all our questions and concerns about our little fish friends.

    Excellent from start to finish. They responded promptly, billing estimates were accurate and the results of the repair on my koi pond were beyond all my expectations. Mark and Dawson did a wonderful job. I would recommend them without reservation, and in all confidence.
