Water feature intro!

Hey everyone! I'm Ben Bryant, owner of Superior Ponds in Minnesota. We specialize in ecosystem ponds, pondless waterfalls, fountains, and ongoing water feature service and maintenance.

Superior Ponds actually started as a hobby. I'd been passionate about ponds and water features, but when I lost my job during the COVID shutdown, that hobby suddenly had an opportunity to become something more. I decided to take the leap and turn what I loved doing into a profession.

What started from there has grown into a business serving hundreds of pond owners across Minnesota, getting recognized as the top rookie pond contractor around the world by Aquascape, and giving me the opportunity to spend every day connecting people to water.

My question for the community: What's one way you get a new employee onboarded for a smooth experience and useful right away?

    Welcome to the Community, @Superiorpondsmn ! 👋 Love seeing the before and after you shared. What a transformation! 🌿💧 Bringing an existing water feature back to life like that really shows the craftsmanship behind what you do.

    And growing from a hobby into a business serving hundreds of pond owners across Minnesota is quite a journey.

    Your question about onboarding is a great one too. Inviting our fellow pros who have grown their teams to share what’s helped them get new employees trained, confident, and ready to contribute! 👇
