Meet Aaron Delmanto – Pond Construction Sales Manager at Fitz’s Fish Ponds
Aaron Delmanto’s journey into the pond industry began 25 years ago with a passion for landscaping and a drive for hands-on learning. While in college, he launched his own landscaping company at just 18 years old, taking on small projects and gradually transitioning into larger-scale builds, including ponds. A self-taught entrepreneur, Aaron scoured job boards for opportunities, booked friends to help with projects, and built his business from the ground up.
What drew Aaron to ponds was their natural beauty and the sense of tranquility they bring to any space. His design philosophy focuses on creating ponds and landscapes that look as if they’ve always been part of the property—organic, flowing, and seamlessly integrated into the environment. He sees ponds as more than just water features; they are serene ecosystems that foster community and bring people closer to nature.
Beyond his expertise in pond construction, Aaron embraces the full spectrum of outdoor living. He loves the creative process of designing a pond as the centerpiece of a larger landscape, incorporating patios, outdoor kitchens, and other elements to create a cohesive outdoor retreat.
