A FAMILY-RUN WATER DESIGN STUDIO

A life shaped by water.

Eric Arntson founded Stonebridge in 2003. In 2018, he focused the company exclusively on the work he loves most: naturalistic ponds and water features.

Personally imagined.
Carefully crafted.

With decades of hands-on experience, Eric is a leading authority on ponds and water features in Central Texas. He is the founder and lead designer, involved personally in each project. His wife Ana handles administration. Together they run a family company that values skilled craftsmanship and pays its employees a living wage.

A COMMITMENT TO THE CRAFT

Always learning.
Always refining.

Stonebridge maintains a record of quality work and service, takes part in continual training and seminars.

Part of a living
community.

Our community includes the Austin Pond Society, which meets on the third Monday of each month at Zilker Botanical Gardens and holds two annual plant swaps. ATX Koi is our go-to source for Japanese and domestic koi.
